| Summary: | "The Classroom Guide to Jazz Improvisation provides an easy, step-by-step guide to teaching real jazz improvisation in the classroom. Drawing on the authors' combined fifty-four years of teaching experience and extensive work as professional jazz musicians, the book shows teachers how to walk their students through the process of learning to improvise, removing the guesswork and mystique along the way. The lesson plans it contains are flexible, easy to use, and quickly give students access to simple choices that create effective jazz lines. Beyond the nuts and bolts of improvising, this book contains carefully curated listening lists, discussions about the meaning of the music, and talking points to help teachers advocate their jazz program to administrators and parents. Simple rhythm section materials for bass, drums, piano, and guitar give clear steps to keep everyone involved, and ensure that everything that is needed is in one convenient place. The book is an essential resource for music teachers everywhere"--Publisher's description. |
