Long
ago I recognized that improvisational music, particularly jazz, was a
language among participants. My approach in There Is No Such Thing
As A Mistake is to share with you what I have learned on the bandstand,
and how to use that information expediently. My goal is to cut to the
chase in what I call Bandstand Theory. There Is No Such Thing As A
Mistake will walk you through basic improvisational theory with exercises
and demonstrations. It will include the Circle of 5ths, II-V-I's, extensions
and substitutions, Blues, left hand stylings, improvisation ideas, and
even into higher math for the advanced. Teachers are finding There Is No Such Thing As A Mistake a great guide for teaching. There are boxed notes throughout for the teacher. There is also a discussion of how to turn a performance on the bandstand into a win-win for everyone. A fun book I think you will enjoy. |
