Jazz Practice Exercises

[Balthazar1993]

I created the following chord charts especially for violinists and violists (though they are applicable for all instrumentalisits as well as singers) who want to start out practising modes. The purpose of these exercises is to get familiar with the specific sound of each mode from each fundamental. You can use them to practise scales or to just jam over one particular chord with the material of one specific mode at a time.

I hope you'll find these useful
