Glad to hear it, thanks for letting me know.

As a big heart machine fan I’m stoked to find your channel! Cheers,

Thanks for sharing all of this information, the book/score suggestions. I'll order 1 or 2 of the books you named for the christmas holidays.

Thank you for the Ligeti rec! What an incredible piece.

Thanks, Zackary!

you said that you'd meet talented peers, do you believe in talent, if so, to what extent do you? Or was it just a way to squash a long sentence about peers into a word? Fantabulous content as always ❤️❤️

Hey, that's nice of you to say. Thanks, Liam. Follow me on IG or keep your eyes peeled here: I'm going to ask for your questions about once a month.

I want to go to music school a lot but I’m already doing a politics degree however I really don’t feel that much passion for it. Tbh I’m a bit worried about how my friends/family would react if I dropped out. And I haven’t even been playing that long! Anyway, thanks for the advice Brian, your videos are always very well thought out and entertaining.

For transcribing, I would recommend to anyone: become fluent in solfege (do re mi's and such). It can serve as a sort of lingua franca between the notes in your ears and the notes in your brain.

Particularly common day.. Mr. Bloom ;)

"My email is easy enough to find" one minute later i'm writing brian an email.

Could you make a list of bad habits for composition? I’m a novice, but I really want to get into composition. I’m mostly into electronic stuff but have a ton of love for all forms of composition. As for playing, I can only really play electric guitar and bass (originally a classical bassist through school), but I can read music and know an intermediate level of theory.

Good question! I’ll mull it over... but, the main bad habit is putting off for tomorrow what you could do today. I think composing has to be somewhat habitual.

@@BrianKrock Thank you. I appreciate the advice.

Also, how difficult is setting a live stream for a jazz performance besides the camera(s)?

@BrianKrock

3 жыл бұрын

It’s not really about the difficulty. It’s just that jazz music necessitates communication in real time/adjusting/reacting to what you’re hearing. It’s just not possible to play in real time with another musician unless you have really fast internet and aren’t too many miles apart from one another.

@@BrianKrock oh, that makes sense. Music in general seems to be a group experience at most, much like the theatre

One more question: what class(es) do you teach?

great stuff keep the channel up plz can always use more free music content on youtube

(also, why is a compilation of music scores called fake book?)

@BrianKrock

3 жыл бұрын

Fake Books were originally illegal and unapproved collections of lead sheets, and a lot of those lead sheets were transcriptions which were full of mistakes. Hence “fake” book. And the name just stuck, even though most fake books today adhere to copyright laws.
