Bebop Mandolin with Matt Flinner

Learn mandolin with one of today's premiere players. This course is intended to help students learn some more advanced jazz concepts and the "bebop" musical language.  We'll learn two bebop standards each week, and look at the harmonic flow and phrasing of bebop melodies, learn ways of navigating chord progressions including blues progressions and ii-V-Is, and look at some solos and licks by several of the bebop masters of the 40s and 50s.  Tunes by Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonius Monk, Horace Silver, Miles Davis and others will be taught each week, and bits of melody will be transposed to various keys to help students be able to better hear and understand bebop melodies and how they relate to keys and chords.  Students will also be given supplementary exercises to help them learn more of the fretboard and apply various musical concepts on other tunes they may already play or encounter in the future.  The course is intended for intermediate to advanced level students.

The course fee is $225.
