These exercises will help your student improve their legato techniques as well as help stretch their fingers out. These exercises work the best when used along with a metronome. The included lesson instructions will guide you through each exercise and how to push your student to play them better.
A new lesson plan is available in the Lesson Materials Section covering the Aeolian mode. Aeolian is the sixth of seven basic modes and worth teaching. Because Aeolian uses the same notes as the Minor Scale, your student will like the fact that they can learn one basic shape to cover two ways of improvising. The included lesson instructions will help you teach the materials effectively.
The other lesson plans on the modes are available in the Lesson Materials Section here.
The Aeolian mode is the sixth of seven basic modes. This is a good mode to teach as it uses the exact same notes as the Minor Scale which means once your student learns how to use Aeolian, they will also feel comfortable using the Minor Scale in their improvisation. Just like the other lesson plans on modes, the included lesson instructions will help you explain the mode properly to your student.
