Les outils de l'improvisation Michel Pellegrino

It is the result of the author's work during numerous masterclasses in conservatories and music schools. After explaining what you need to know to get started, it offers 3 approaches, of increasing difficulty: - the first is to learn to build a "master key" scale, derived from the pentatonic scales and the scale blues. This scale will allow you to start and have fun easily with notes that can all " sound '' on the accompaniment chords of the pieces. This approach is the one practiced by the jazz pioneers and is technically within the reach of all musicians. - the second approach, to go a little further, is to rely on the notes of the chords indicated by the encryption. Learn to use these " pillar '' notes and to identify the characteristic notes of these chords in order to string together these chords - the third approach, to go even further, is to integrate foreign notes that will enrich the musical phrases, to use chromatic notes, to substitute chords. Some little tips will be given to perfect the improviser's language. This course has allowed many students to gain confidence and, from the first blues in the history of jazz to the most modern standards, to understand how to juggle notes.
