Freddie Reiter: Workshop # 1
Today was awesome! Freddie gave us a simple chord progression and we turned it into a full band tune. Each of us had a seperate part to play, and the overall sound was really unique. The ska sound is upbeat and it gives off a real bouncy feel, but at the same time, it sustains a jazzy sound. Freddie is extremely kind and laid back, and he really knows a lot about music. His sax playing is phenomenal, and he's really open to answer any questions we have about music. My main goal in this workshop is to understand more music theory. More specifically, be able to recognize a specific chord progression and solo over it. This workshop will expand my musical knowledge and possibly give me the ability to transform certain songs into ska originals. Next week, we're doing a Ska cover of "Don't Stop Believing".... this should be fun!
