Скачать или смотреть Improv for Classical Musicians - Improv 104 - Hooks

Classically trained musicians tend to be extremely skilled players of their instruments. But one of the major gaps in modern classical music education is improvisation. In the Baroque and Classical periods, improvisation was considered an essential skill. But as composers started writing more and more detailed scores, the skill began to be lost.

Modern jazz, country, worship, and pop musicians improvise all the time. And when classically trained players want to enter those spaces, they often find themselves out of their element.

Improvisation is really just composition in real time in front of an audience. So in this fourth video in the series, we'll talk about using a common compositional tool - hooks (called "themes" in classical parlance).
