Exploring Contemporary Music

Module 5 introduces you to contemporary music, expanding your emotional and technical skills. Building on your blues background and basics in A minor, this module dives into E minor, broadening your ability to read and play more complex music.

We shift focus from the power of blues to the subtler emotions of melancholy, exploring deeper feelings like sadness and contemplation. Contemporary music’s simple yet emotionally rich motifs will help you convey these new layers of emotion.

By the end of Module 5, you’ll not only be better at reading music but also at telling emotional stories through your improvisations, preparing you to express a broader spectrum of feelings in your performances.
