Every musician who wants to approach jazz improvisation needs three essential element.
- Desire and perseverance
As constant practice in various subjects, insistence on correcting mistakes and fatigue can be reasons for giving up the effort
- Listen to jazz music from recordings or live performances
Jazz music since its inception contains elements that are difficult to record with musical notation on paper.
The expression, the colors, the accents, the way an improvisational part begins and ends, are things that are very little reflected in the jazz notation and are more elements that the musician learns through his acoustic contact with this music.
Jazz music by its nature can not be treated with its full recording as a work of “Classical” music, as it will cease to be improvisational and will lose its freedom to adapt to the personality of the performer. After all, hundreds of famous jazz pieces have been played by each musician according to his musical personality and the mood of the moment
- Study method
The “what” will be studied and the “how” will be studied by the musician, is a great chapter on the way to achieving the goal which is creative improvisation. A planning is necessary and will be done according to the time available for study. The objects are many and the time should be divided accordingly, emphasizing the points where the musician lags behind the most.
