ESSENTIAL IMPROVISATION EXERCISES

Take on a Thrilling Journey from the very Beginner Exercises to the more Advanced Exercises. After only a few Simple Exercises we can already Improvise Great Music – by using only ‘2’ Fingers!!! Then we gradually add the other Fingers and we Advance our Technique. We create Thrilling Tension between Rhythm and Melody and we learn to Improvise in a New Modern Jazz Style. Translations of the English subtitles to Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French by Edgardo Solano from Colombia. Thank you so much Edgardo!!! You can turn on the subtitles and choose a language in the video settings. All NewJazz material is free, public and for everybody. No ‘pay walls’.
