Lessons From the Best Jazz Sax Improvisation Teacher in Burbank

10/27/2017
To better understand what jazz improvisation is, it helps to think of it as spontaneous composition. The improvisor is composing on the spot without the benefit of writing it down and perfecting it. So a good improvisor must practice his craft daily and spend time playing through all the various scales and exercises that it takes to master the language. There’s a lot of likeness to language and speech. When a speaker gives a speech based on a written (composed) script he can improvise around it a bit but it’s generally composed. When a speaker knows his subject but has no actual idea of what he’s going to say, then he is truly improvising, and this is essentially what a great jazz improvisor does. He has a song that he’s going to play, he knows the melody and chord changes and he improvises around that basic melody and chord structure, never knowing exactly what’s going to come out.

Jazz Improvisation’s origin can be traced back to the black slaves in the south, singing the blues in the fields. By the 1930’s, it was being performed by North Americans in cities such as Kansas City, Saint Louis, and Chicago. Becoming a professional jazz musician can take quite a long time. Learning this particular genre of music can seem very frightening and difficult for beginners. There’s so much theory and technique to be mastered before one can be fluent int the language. Another important part of a jazz improvisor's development is that an individual will need to listen to other artists like Wes Montgomery, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, Herbie Hancock, amongst others. These musicians are icons who paid their dues and were original and created new forms of playing on their respective instruments. As a result, they were highly influential in the development of jazz and created new styles that can help a young improvisor learn the language in the form of determination and steady practice. So, you too must be ready to work hard and be disciplined. It is practically impossible for one to begin to play an instrument without some form of instruction and practice. Arpeggios, scales and chord progressions - amongst others - must be learned and mastered in order to be a masterful jazz improvisor.

You must be ready to face certain difficulties when playing the saxophone, clarinet and the flute at the beginning. These instruments are a few of the main instruments involved in jazz and to play and become a pro you will need to spend a lot of hours practicing the tone production and technique. In order to master these instruments and perform with them, professional instruction can really help speed up the process.
