This book of printed sheet music contains "a course on improvisation for all instruments and all styles which will help you develop monster musical skills studying the lessons and playing along with the accompanying enhanced CD". That's quite a sentence (from the cover of the book!), but it is a good description of the book's contents. Written by Dave Frank (with John Amaral), this volume gives lots of practical theory instruction, playing examples, and practical hints and pointers to help a musician get started in music improvisation. The CD (included with the book) contains lots of samples and examples. This is a really thorough improvisation method, appropriate for any instrument, and we recommend it to our customers on a regular basis. (This book is book one of a two part series.)

Published By: "Joy Of Improv - Beginning The Foundation, Book One - All Instruments" was published by Hal Leonard Corporation.
