Minor 7 Cycle (2 chords per bar) for Music Practice

Performing in all keys is an important skill for musicians. Cycle backing tracks are a great way to even out fluency. Tips for practicing with Cycles: - Try developing a musical motifs (melody fragment) and transpose it to all keys - Limiting your range on your instrument and improvise around the cycle - Try to clearly mark the changing of harmony when improvising - Sing along with your improvisation to strengthen the connection to your inner-voice and your instrument - Practice odd and asymmetrical melodic or rhythmic patterns in all keys. - Practice playing outside and inside the key or superimpose other harmonies. - Try to hear or pay attention to the tonal relationships between notes and the harmonic landscape. Hear the colour and the mood of things such as scales, triads, and chords against the vamp.
