Patterns for Jazz for Treble Clef Instruments
Jazz improvisation is the spontaneous creation of music in the jazz style. This book provides a collection of patterns that a student of jazz improvisation may practice. The patterns begin with rudimentary exercises such as scales, modes, simple chords and four basic types of chord movement. Following the exercises are usable patterns, as well as more complicated patterns, chords and scales. Finally, the book progresses to interval studies and free-form patterns. This resource is meant to be used while playing and theoretical information is inserted whenever possible to support the context that is presented. The exercises and patterns can be applied to any instrument.
Changes are intrinsic to jazz improvisation and this resource serves as an introduction to pattern-playing in jazz and as a springboard for the development of other, new patterns as they present themselves.
