Have you ever tried to
improvise? There is so much frustration in the beginning years of
improvisation that many players assume they just can’t do it. They
assume jazz improvisation isn’t their thing.
Do you feel this way?
Is improvising something you want to be good at, but you find it so
difficult to get started?
The tunes in
Twelve Tunes were composed for musicians who already have an
intermediate technical ability on their instrument, but are new to the
world of jazz improvisation. Using this book and the recommended
play-along CD*, you
can sound good improvising immediately. Simply follow the directions on
the first four pages of the book, which will explain why these twelve
tunes are different from standard jazz compositions and why it’s so easy
to sound good when you play them.
This is only the first
step in your progress as a jazz improviser. Unfortunately, it is a step
often passed over in most jazz improvisation methods. Other methods
tend to have a sink or swim approach with the beginners: “either you have
what it takes or you don’t”. With Twelve Tunes
for Linear Diatonic Improvisation, you have the opportunity to
sound good now and get your foot in the proverbial door.
Twelve Tunes
for Linear Diatonic Improvisation is spiral-bound for
easy reading and comfortable use on a music stand.
