53.84Mini-composition exercise

Write a 5-chorus C blues solo arrangement.

Chorus 1

only G and C.

Chorus 2

add E♭.

Chorus 3

walking bass + guide-tone RH.

Chorus 4

block-chord/shout treatment.

Chorus 5

return to two-note simplicity.

Requirements:

• at least one full-bar RH rest
• one stop-time passage
• one displaced motif
• one ii-V turnaround
• one basic-blues chorus with no substitutions
• final C6/9

The audience should feel growth and return, not just five repetitions of the same blues.
