Beginner Jazz Soloing for Flute : The beginner's guide to jazz improvisation for flute & concert pitch instruments

Improvise jazz on flute with a simple six-step method This is not a how to play the flute book. It's a how to play music book! Many woodwind players come from a classical background which may not have taught you how to play by ear. While this can provide an excellent grounding in music, it doesn?t teach you how to improvise, and often it's difficult for classically trained musicians to learn Jazz soloing. Beginner Jazz Soloing For Flute is the perfect guide to bridge the gap. Devised by Buster Birch (visiting jazz professor at Trinity Conservatoire), this book teaches a creative method for improvisation that's been road-tested at hundreds of workshops.
