Jim Sisko - Triad Pairs



In this episode trumpeter and Jazz Educator Jim Sisko discusses Triad Pairs. Other ideas discussed include the importance of playing piano, computer applications which are useful and some ideas on how to stay motivated during COVID.

Sorry that Jim's trumpet tone is not recorded at high fidelity and sounds a bit distorted, however this doesn't diminish the value of this lesson. Enjoy!
