ESSENTIAL IMPROVISATION EXERCISES

Take on a Thrilling Journey from the very Beginner Exercises to the more Advanced Exercises. After only a few Simple Exercises we can already Improvise Great Music – by using only ‘2’ Fingers!!! Then we gradually add the other Fingers and we Advance our Technique. We create Thrilling Tension between Rhythm and Melody and we learn to Improvise in a New Modern Jazz Style.
