MUS 142 - Jazz Improvisation Private Instruction1-2 hours
Students will learn how to begin improvising or improve their improvisations (solos) in the jazz idiom. They will improve their knowledge of chords, chord progressions, scales, and song forms as a basis for playing creative, strong, and spontaneous solos. Having good improvising skills can open the door to composition and songwriting, all of which allows musicians to more easily express and play the music they hear in their heads. Prospective students will be expected to have a basic understanding of common chords, to be able to play major and minor scales with relative ease, to have some music ability, and to have attained a somewhat reliably smooth facility on their instrument.
Prerequisite(s): Consent of the instructor
