Hi David, 

 

I have been studying "solo harmonica" and "movement patterns" in Level 1, and I think I am ready to work on a jam track to submit to you. It says that I should play "to the provided jam track," but I do not see that jam track listed in the support materials. Please tell me where to find it. 

Thanks,

Harold Floyd

Hello Harold. Sorry for any

Hello Harold. Sorry for any confusion... that's a global field in the site and doesn't pertain to those examples. Solo Harmonica study examples should be played to a metronome and Movement Exercises don't need to be played to anything.

JAM TRACK

Hi David, just to confirm: there is no requirement to submit a recording as indicated in the "movement patterns" section of Level One. So I will move on to the section "music theory." if I got it wrong please let me know. 

Thanks, 

Harold

Good morning Harold. There is

Good morning Harold. There is a requirement, you just don't need to play them to a backing (jam) track. Record Solo Harmonica Study 1, Examples 1.2, 1.4, and 1.7 to a metronome (you choose the tempo) and the Major Scale by itself.

Here's a quick reference of the required material for LOA-L1 http://www.bluesharmonica.com/sites/bluesharmonica.com/files/private/loa...

and here is where you submit all of your recordings (at the same time) for your test https://www.bluesharmonica.com/take_level_1_test

I look forward to reviewing your material when you're ready
