Description
Hal Crook's approach to improvisation is a unique one-thing-at-a-time method that incorporates discipline, technique, creativity and musical intuition. This book explains each topic in depth, using written musical examples and accompanied by suggested exercises and a sample daily practice schedule.
The author's approach has been used successfully in teaching improvisation since 1988, providing students with a process and practice routine to develop an improvisational technique essential for the creative jazz musician. With clear explanations and demonstrations of rhythm, melody, and harmony, this book offers a refreshing alternative to traditional methods.
