It was noted that using a metronome to click the 2 and 4 instead of 1 is not unique to how Barry Harris or his students practice. Those who have played it know that the piece changes to a wide variety of time signatures, but the pulse never changes. I almost always used the metronome with the loudest beat marking the 1, and didn't think about just setting it to a steady 8th or quarter note pulse until I'd played a locally organized performance of Terry Riley's "In C".
I've started working with the exercise taught in the Episode 1 video, as it's different enough from how I've practiced before. No idea if "Hector", who attended a 2013 workshop then wrote about the 5-4-3-2-1 phrases what omit starting on the 5 all the time, received more recently updated instruction from Barry than the other two authors. Maybe you could say "is equivalent to".but the methodologies are not literally "the same".Ĭlick to expand.It's consistent with what Tom Cleary (the UVM teacher) wrote - all 4 phrases starting on the 5. For example "bebop scales" came from David Baker. IMO it would be a mistake to say his methodology is "the same" as another methodology even if some of the building blocks look the same. Included in "movement"/arrangement is the concept of 6th diminished "scales", but 6th diminished can also fall under "lines" category.
Some of the movement topics are detailed - like moving from a specific chord to another specific chord (and how to improv that on the instrument) "movement" (you'll see that keyword in some of those YT lessons) topics are semi-arranging lessons (multiple voices moving from one place to another) - but also within an improv setting (like spontaneous arrangement).
especially dismissive analysis that claims to sus out Harris' concepts without studying it.ĥ-4-3-2, and "half step rules" would fall primarily under "bebop lines" so take opinion/analysis from "the internet" with a grain of salt - including this post. I'd assume those that took his workshops have more of a grasp on the methodology than those that haven't. Therefore, proceed at your own risk.Ĭlick to expand.From what I gather, Barry's methodology spans several topics - from arranging to bebop lines.

The rule is below as it now reads and will be enforced. However, we are coming into a new era with people doing different manners of monetary transactions.Įssentially, we'll no longer require anyone to be tied to Paypal only people can now use whatever payment they want, but we want to let people know they are on their own. In the past, we had required people to use Paypal to head off attempted fraud, which has been a concern for many years. Please note that effective immediately we have updated the Emporium Rules for payment options.
