While mixing it with pitch blends and finding where to place mutes and have
solo comping. I find myself using my mnemonic device M.N.M.C. It stands for
melody, notes, mutes, and comping. I use M.N.M.C while listening, writing, and

instruments or chord progressions. All together M.N.M.C helps a learning music
composer to find the structure and preciseness of a song that they are putting together

M.N.M.C is a useful mnemonic device
because it provides support to a musician who has trouble writing and reading
music. M.N.M.C seems like it should be used by professionals. M.N.M.C would strength one’s ability to make
any music not just Jazz. Although there are different genres of music.
