How many donuts do you reckon are in our donuts box? What kind of donuts did we get? @bobsdonuts #donuts

@jacobcollier is an inspiring dude and he posted a challenge regarding contrary motion which is one of my favorite sounds. Needed a break from (trying to learn)mixing today, wanted to give the #yamahachallenge a try. My tonal centers are over their own 5ths, and the pattern moves in minor thirds until a major third is needed so it doesn’t repeat. 12 keys, 24 chords, give it a try. I’ll challenge @bryanmcallistermusic @camerones_ and @alexissotojr to post a sequential pattern that navigates all keys in as few chords as possible with contrary motion between the melody and bass ! #piano #jacobcollier #pianist #helpmemixmycommercial #teaching #jazz #harmony #musictheory #loudkeyboard #nords #shelterinplace #quarantinedays #eartraining #chords #multitonic #movementin3rds

Awhile back I made a video about better hearing notes within a chord. A critical ability for transcribing, singing, and performing music of any genre. That first video was step 1, and it involved singing the notes inside of any triad. This is step 2, and is very similar. You sing the inside notes of all the chords of the diatonic scale, or any scale really. Whichever scale or mode you choose has interesting melodic possibilities within them that will challenge your ears in different ways. I’ve gotten some excellent feedback from some of you music nerds out there; so thanks for listening. A common piece of feedback I get is that I need to explain more, so I think I’ll make a youtube channel where I really dive into some of these ideas, as well as what I think the objective of ear training is and various deeper things like that. Hit me up if you’d like a lesson, I gave one recently and it was fun and different. #eartraining #eartrainingtips #music #musiceducation #toothpick #huck #jazz #classical #piano #jazzpiano #jazzears #bayareamusic #sfmusic #sanfrancisco #musician #drummer #pianist #teaching #teacher #onlinelessons #philosophy #composition #dreams #harmony #musictheory #singing #humming #hearing #shelterinplace #quarantine

I am indeed offering music lessons online. Parents love em as much as the kiddos have. I’ve been makin little play along tracks for my students to fit their needs, it’s a real blast. Teaching drums and piano. If anyone who is already playing wants to take their ability to the next level, I’m offering “prototype” ear training lessons to help make you better too. They are “prototype” because I’ve never given one before, but it is an idea I have. I will also tell you where to find cool sunglasses. #music #musician #shelterinplace #teaching #lessons #musiclessons #sfmusic #huck #jazzmusic #musiceducation #onlinelessons #musictheory #eartraining #transcribe #getbetteratsomething #creative #piano #drums

Sheltering in place is going well. Playing and working on a lot of music. Writing and reading a lot. I’m teaching music online which is challenging me in interesting ways. Cookin all the time with @kellishine, who likes to dress me before we go to the grocery store. And then, hot sauce. Anyways, wash your hands, consider your dreams in ways you haven’t before, and try to stay creatively busy. #kindofblue #blue #imbluedabadeedabadie #huck

Alright drum fam. I’ve got a good one for you. I’ll spare the philosophy today about what all this means to me and just nominate some homies to get after it. I’d love it if you used the hashtag #coordinationcontrol for this bad boy. Doubles with the hands, triples with the feet, then alternating it every two rounds. I nominate @rickssticks, @benatkind , new buddy of mine @drumdre, I’ll toss @zimbumusic in, and a younger cat (who is a total badass) I’ve been following but don’t know @greyson_nekrutman to give this a shot. Lmk if you gots any questions, forgive my fake drum set. I....think I played this right? Anyone over @drumeoofficial wanna give it a stab? Pass the challenge on! #drums #coordinationcontrol #music #drumset #drumeo #drumming #coordination #brainbender #puzzle #vicfirth #drumset #drumming #musiceducation #whynot #huck #practice #quarantine #challenge #stickcontrol #shelterinplace #sfmusic #bayareamusic #sanfrancisco
