Improvise for Real - The Complete Method for All Instruments
Master the art of musical improvisation through creative exercises that empower you to explore and discover harmony for yourself. Learn to understand the sounds in the music all around you and improvise with confidence in any musical situation. And learn to express your own music, playing directly from your musical imagination.
Get past the theory and unlock your creativity
Instead of giving you rules and formulas about what notes you are supposed to play, Improvise for Real empowers you to discover and master ALL of the sounds of our musical system. Through a creative daily practice that feels more like the martial arts than a typical music course, you will gain a deep understanding of modern harmony that enables you to weave your own melodies effortlessly across any song or chord progression.
Used in more than 20 countries by students and teachers alike, Improvise for Real is considered by many to be the definitive system for learning to improvise. The exercises are easy to understand and fun to practice. You will learn the entire landscape of modern harmony from simple blues and pop music to the most sophisticated jazz compositions. And you will learn to play your music, expressing yourself with complete confidence in any musical situation.
You do not need to know anything at all about music theory to begin, and you don't need to be able to read sheet music.
