Week 2: January 25

How did you learn the beginning of jazz?

The lesson about jazz is very interesting for me. I understood the history on how jazz came to be from the handouts given in class and the oral summary. I also learned some of the examples of jazz songs, such as "Fly Me To The Moon". We were told to write a short 200-word essay about the beginning of jazz, which will be due on next Monday.

In the instrument class, we discussed the chords of "Fly Me To The Moon". The chords are a bit complex since it mainly consists of 7th chords. That's why I wrote the notes above the chords. Then, our task is to practice 8 bars of the song at home.
