The Real Blues
Settle into this laid-back tap combination and enjoy it. Open your ears to the nuances and the changes between half-time and full-time, and set your own tempo.
Blues sits just behind the beat. If you find yourself racing, stop and pull back. Try closing your eyes so you are actually hearing the music.
The opening is set, but there is room to evolve it: build up, back away, and create dynamic range. The closing section is open for you to add and play.
