Swing Eighths


Listen and echo.

Naming the “LONG-short” beats
On “ba” only
What this looks like in 4/4

Choose one of the patterns and:

  • chant it
  • play it on the piano on a single key (use good form!)
  • explore a scale using the rhythm pattern
  • try a blues scale, or pentatonic 12-bar blues!

BONUS: Create a longer pattern combining the patterns above and:

  • chant it
  • play it on the piano on a single key (use good form!)
  • explore a scale using the rhythm pattern
  • try a blues scale, or pentatonic 12-bar blues!
