During this deep dive lesson, we’ll identify some of the fundamental chords and scales used in jazz improvisation and sample ear-opening ways we might practice them. From here, we’ll explore a style of improvisation known as Bebop and how we might begin familiarizing ourselves with key ideas, phrases, and techniques associated with this virtuosic style. Lastly, we’ll delve into various ways to put all this knowledge into action – how to develop our musical & technical fluency both in practice and performance. Come ready to play!
This lesson was recorded as part of Strings Without Boundaries, a multi-style string conference operating for over 27 seasons. In partnership with artistic director Julie Lyonn Lieberman, recordings from past Strings Without Boundaries conferences are now available on myTalentForge.
