Theory Class
Topic: Blues
Reflection Question: How is my understanding of Blues and applying 12 bars Blues?

I still do not really understand the difference between Blues and Jazz. I also do not understand why we were learning the history and background of Jazz but we are expected to make an improvisation of Blues now. I still do not know how to improvise though, so I have a difficulty in making the 12 bars Blues. I also think that one does not simply learn jazz improvisation in only a couple of weeks.

Instrument Class
Topic: 12 bars Blues improvisation

During instrument class, we were given time to practice our 12 bars blues improvisation. We also helped each other during this process.
