There are a great many of us who got interested in jazz and jazz drumming completely irrespective of any musical training whatsoever, So concepts like these are more difficult as I didn’t learn music to begin with and so following changes didn’t make sense to me as I didn’t understand how to hear them, what I was hearing, much less what “changes” were lol. I really appreciate these lessons as I completely missed all forms of musical education and am at an extreme disadvantage 👍
Glad to hear it. It’s never too late and I’ve found my students who “missed all the training” often can get to improvisation faster, because they don’t have all the details to bog them down and can focus on what really matters. Have fun. :)
I’ve been struggling with this. I find it hard to keep the melody in my mind when soloists are playing. It’s like trying to sing a song while someone else is singing a different song at the same time. And also trying to be interactive on stage with other musicians and what they’re playing in the moment, makes the form go away in my mind. Because now I’m thinking about what they’re playing.
That was excellent! I wish I had this kind of information explained in this way years ago when I was starting out.

Totally makes sense we gotta get you thinking the “vibe” of the melody not the actual notes. That way what they’re playing can fit inside it
