8 Style (1 Day during solo assessment prep)

Watch the style video together as a class.
Have students choose a lick and give them ten minutes for them to work on one element of style to make the lick pop. Have them watch the corresponding style video and apply it to the lick.
Repeat the same step for two other elements of style.
Have students present their licks at the end of class.
Inform students that they should always add the different elements of style to their single note lines to help tell their story through their playing.
Highlight players who are actively adding style to their playing to boost their confidence and promote playing with style to the rest of the class.
