VC - Daffodils, Tulips & Crocus - Please look at melodic 4ths and 5ths.
The EQ for the week is:  What are the differences between melodic 4ths an 5ths and harmonic 4ths and 5ths?

Crocus, Daffodils and Tulips - You played "A Tisket, A Tasket" last week.  Please watch the first 2 videos so that we can discuss them during your next session.  The other videos are for your entertainment.  After finding Ella Fitzgerald and Natalie Cole singing your piece, I started listening to more of Ella Fitzgerald scatting and I thought you might enjoy.
