Berklee 5-Week: Reading/Chart Read Lab

Reading/Chart Read Lab Instructor: Josh Rosen

1) Song: Chega De Saudade (No More Blues)
By: Antonio Carlos Jobim

This Jobim tune is a Med. Bossa Nova, with a syncopated melodic displacement. Therefore, it's great practice sight reading melodies on the spot. Although in a performance situation you must listen to the tune first, in a chart reading opportunity you must be equipped with the tools to read complex rhythms.
