Written Assignment #1Compose two choruses over the given blues changes. Incorporate ideas from Wynton Kelly's solo, phrasesfrom transcription assignment and ideas discussed in class. Be prepared to play or sing your solo.

Notation suggestions:

1. In general, use sharps for ascending chromatic lines and flats for descending lines. For example: D - D# - E not D - Eb - E natural.

2. In 4/4 time, make sure beat 3 is visible. Exception: consecutive upbeats for a measure or more.

3. Always include the chord changes above the melody.

4. If possible, try to group measures in 4's.

5. Observe proper stem directions.

6. If you want a note short and it is on a downbeat, use a quarter note and write a staccato marking above the note.

7. Whenever possible, use half note rests rather than two quarter rests.

8. Beam eighth notes in groups of 4.
