I'm having trouble finding this as an existing thread. I'm new to classical study and I'm trying to get the sound in the my ear. What are the essential recordings that need to be owned/studied. I'm looking for recordings that feature a bass soloist. Any information would be great.

That's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks a ton.

I'm a working jazz musician, however I've started accepting some entry level bass students who are interested in pursuing orchestra at their school. I'm just curious what method book do you generally use with your students who are entry level players? Any suggestions would be greatly...

Thanks for the info.

Hello, I'm about to take a road trip in that general area and I'm looking for some places to check out while I'm in town. Anyone have any club names they could throw my way? Thanks

I'm working on a process of intervallically soloing through standards with a drone (root-5th) in the background. I'm trying to find standards that generally stay in one tonality. This has worked well for Yesterdays, Softly, and Alone Together (A sections). I'm trying to see if anyone has...

I'm starting to look for graduate schools for jazz performance. Any positive or negative experiences with school you've attended? I know that aren't many M.M. programs that exist for jazz studies. Just trying to get some input.

I got a chart for Ramblin'. I was thinking along those lines.

I'm doing a junior recital and looking for Ornette tunes with changes, excluding blues'. Any ideas?

I'm looking to do a chordal arrangement of the melody. I know this is pretty common and I'm looking for more ideas then just putting the third on top while playing the melody note. Any tips on doing this from someone who has attempted it?

I've done interval training. My main problem is rhythmic dictation. I get the pitches and spend 15 minutes trying to write down the transcription. I mostly use online melodic dictation websites, and I'm trying to sing everything.

I'm attempting to improve my ear rapidly, and its become the main focus of my practice sessions. I'm trying to figure out methods that will help. I'm mostly transcribing, but I hear singing really helps. What specifically do you, or did you do that you found effective.
