"MAJOR FOOD GROUPS"

and ONE SHARP MONTH

February's keys are: G major and E minor.  Both use the note F sharp.  E harmonic minor raises D to D sharp and E jazz melodic minor raises C to C sharp and uses D sharp.  Study these keys and pick at least one song from the major food group list.

May we suggest?

Learn a song from one of these groups but pick one that you would normally not pick for a study song.  Why pick from a group that you wouldn't normally pick?  Because, it will help your style by adding something to your playing that both you and your teacher would probably not have considered.  This is an exercise that will truly enhance your style.  It isn't easy taking a sound that you don't really like and making it into a part of your repertoire but it really pays off!  All of the CGP group members do this at least once a month.  I've seen some great results from it so, get started now and good luck!
