Product Description
Page 1 and 2 of this Funk Keyboard Practice Session shows a funky rhythm pattern using 9th. chords in all 12 keys around the cycle of 4th.s. There is a descending chromatic 9th. chord progression before each chord starting 11/2 steps up from the chord so for instance there is a descending 9th chord progression from F9-E9-Eb9 landing on the D9 chord.
Page 3 is the chord progression going from the I chord (D9) to the IV chord (G9) and back to the I chord again.
The audio file that accompanies the sheet music is split into t 4 sections,
Part 1 consists of the piano playing along with the rhythm backing tracks in all 12 keys.
Part 2 consists of the rhythm backing tracks in all 12 keys for practicing purposes.
Part 3 consists of the piano playing along with the rhythm backing tracks of C11 to D11
Part 4 consists of the rhythm backing tracks of C11 to D11

With using software such as the free programs Musescore or Garage
Band you will be able to do the following with the MIDI files:
1. Slow the tempo down to your skill level.
2. Change the key, allowing you the option of transposing the patterns into keys other than the written key.
3. Use the loop function to practice difficult measures repeatedly.
4. Use these patterns for ear training exercises by slowing the tempo
down and looping a certain section repeatedly, try to play the correct
notes using your ear rather than reading the music.
