March 27th minutes
These minutes were written by Victor. I am posting them for him, and edited the date of the posting so they appear in order.
March 27, 8:15pm, at the Dojo in South Boston. Martin, MB, Glenn, Dev, and
Victor.
The meeting mainly focused on what might be the upcoming focus for the
circle, and checking in with where people are at now that the course is
over.
It's looking like there will be a few new directions. One is that of a team
that meets outside of the regular Sunday meetings to work more intensively.
Possibly in the mornings. There are at present possibly three subcircles.
One of people whose participations is limited for one reason or another, one
who are focusing on the mastering the basics, one who are ready for
intensive work. There are possibly a few other types of connections which we
might need to stay available to; for instance a number of people have
expressed interest in coming in from out of town, and it is possible that we
won't always have such a fully committed team.
It is probable that for those who can't come to all the meetings the work
will focus on repertoire to help in the performances. The subgroups will
focus on circulation, composition, and mastering the basics.
We are going to undertake learning askesis and intergalactic boogie express,
and though it is clear that mastering the triplet grid will take some work,
it is seen that this will be appropriate common work for everyone at this
time.
Victor is going approach Ben to move to having meetings with him with
dinner, perhaps once a month.
After much talk, we looked at two exercises. Approaching Cmaj in the first
position in intervals, 3rds, 4ths, triads, fifths, sixths, sevenths and
octaves. With the intensive team undertaking this throughout circle of
fifths in all intervals. This is to help get a handle on some of the common
permutations which one has to address in circulation of scales.
We then undertook Cmaj sequence up and down in the 1st position after 5
minutes we came within one note of completing it and it was time to go home.
