I Remember A Jazz Exercise
Here's a lead sheet for "I Remember you", a Jazz standard.
THere's a tag at the end of the melody that raises the key a minor 3rd before returning to the original key.
What I have done here is accept that modulation as a new key, so poart 2 is a minor 3rd highere. Then again and again, describing a diminished 7thchord.
The melody is done with really NO rhythmic indication, as is often the case with older Jazz Standards.
I am considering re-doing it in a rhythmic fashion, but here's a start.
There are changes for all 4 keys.
I would recommend raising the whole thing up a semitone and then again a semitone, and learning it in all these forms. Thois would take you through all 12 keys. There's a lot to learn doing this.
Best regards and Season's Greetings to all.

EDIT:
If anyone uses this, I would appreciate it if you would let me know. Thanks.

The file you attached appears to be the backup file, not the main one. When I opened it, it was a blank sheet.

Never mind, I got it. When saving it, I changed the name and added the .mscz extension on to the end, and it opened correctly.
Here is the file I modified....

There was some trouble at a time with the way scores were saved - this might have been written at that time.
