Wynton demonstrates how composers use rhythm to express a wide variety of emotions. Part 2 Musical Structure & Form is "“Sousa to Satchmo” Here the group unfolds the evolution of different styles and periods of music. Wynton showshow Sousa’s European-style orchestra was transformed into an American band. Once ragtime and raggin’ changed its beat, collective improvisation turned it into New Orleans jazz. Part 3 "“Listening for Clues” shows how we can listen for different forms in music and learn to enjoy longer pieces. Wynton says, “Learn structure and form, and music unfolds like a story.” He then shows us how to identify different forms, moving effortlessly from Prokofiev to Gershwin, Ellington and Ives., I Part 4,"“Tackling the Monster” Does anyone like to practice? Wynton calls it “the large monster.” Even the great cellist Yo-Yo Ma confesses he hates it. Fortunately, Wynton has a strategy for slaying this monster.
