It's always great to hear Jeff discuss Music Education. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent interview! Yes, I watched Part 1 as well and waited with enthusiasm for part 2. You both speak the truth and I agree...the biggest problem with today's younger generation is they want it FAST! They are sold a "bill of goods" that is very inaccurate, ie. Play onstage in 90 days, I can teach you to SHRED in 3 lessons, etc etc... WRONG! LOL...I wish they would stop saying those things. I was at MI in the 80's when Jeff was there. I have a MM in Jazz Studies from North Texas as of last May 2023...I am 59 years old. I learned the same way you guys learned. It's the way I teach my students...LEARN THE FUNDAMENTALS! Thanks for the interviews Richard! Best regards, Kurt
Thanks awfully !
JB is a great singer too - Gothic 17, a cinematic masterpiece of music with no movie.
Thanks, I have lots more fascinating interviews from bassists you might be interested, in such as Mark Egan, John Pattitucci, .. check them out!
Please, more of Mr Berlin. I am working with his book. I like it.
Nice !! Bass Mastery, first package or book? I worked through the first package and am into #2, scales with sharps and flats. How is it going for you? What Etude are you on? Good luck and keep at it !!
Bass mastery Book, a complete reading course . Working on Lesson 16 and 17 now. I also have academic walking lines.
Read this passage last year by one Tobias Matthay, Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music , from 1913:
"Hence, also, you realize the folly of imagining that a Metronome can serve as a Time-teacher. You see, the pupil has to learn to play to a pulse-throb of his own making all the while; it is therefore of very little use indeed learning to pay obedience to an outside, machine-made Pulse-throb. And in any case, a Metronome is apt to kill the finer Time-sense[...]"
Interesting that he uses compound, hyphenated nouns to describe playing in time: Time-sense, Pulse-throb, Time-teacher, Time-throb and Imitative-sense.
1913. Wow!
listening with one ear got that
Jeff Berlin clearly explaining why, after 3 semesters at Berklee, he has never had a teaching job in higher ed.
Yet if you read music and practice his Etudes, your playing improves. Weird !
thats definitely a part of a good practice routine, but there are other avenues of improvement for sure. @@fearnoevil65
I read what Jeff wrote on his own page about not being interested in college teaching and just not true. He was actively looking for a job in higher ed when he was jettisoned from players school. I heard it from magazine people that were helping him and the people at the schools, including berklee. Rewriting the past does not change it. !
You don’t need a metronome to work on subdivisions. That’s great if it helped but djembe is better in my opinion.
