How to learn Jazz: improvisation (I)
Contrary to what many people believe, to learn Jazz is not a mystical
or unusually complicated process. Like any other art form, it can be reduced to a few simple, structured guidelines to focus your mind and body, and let your creative spirit soar where it may. The four steps for learning to play jazz are:
- Practice Fundamentals
- Technical Practice
- Play Music!
- Listen
- Fundamentals. This is the bread and butter of your practice routine, and is the first thing that you practice every day. Listen to almost all great jazz players (especially those of the modern era) and you will notice one thing in common – they all play their instrument extremely well. I cannot over-stress the importance of this part of your practice, particularly in the early stages of your musical development.
- This is the time when you learn how to use your tools and perfect your technique. Anything that you might ever need to play creative and inspiring jazz must be worked on here, including sound, pitch, time, range, dynamics, breath control, finger dexterity, extended techniques, and anything else that you will help you excel on your instrument.
- Technical Work. This type of work is where you develop your vocabulary, and is encompasses most of our work in a jazz improvisation class. Stick to mostly jazz-related practicing here, including scales, arpeggios, modes, patterns, licks, and anything else that you can think of that will give you a more complete “toolbox.”
- There are literally hundreds of books full of examples of this sort of
thing (find them in our Library). Some of the best are Jerry Coker’s “Patterns for Jazz”, David Baker’s “A Creative Approach To Practicing Jazz” and the amazing Jerry Bergonzi’s series “Inside Improvisation”.
It is especially important for you to be creative in this type of practice. It is
extremely easy to get bored playing nothing but scales and patterns all day, which is the last thing you would want. Anything that you can do to create interest in this type of practice will greatly help you.
Play scales forwards and backwards, in different intervals, and starting on each note. Practice technique with play-along records. Trade off scales and patterns with a friend. Make up games to challenge yourself. Work on soloing over songs using only one specific technique at a time.
Play! At this point, you’re just working on music, so turn your brain off and leave all the technical work in the practice room. If you’ve worked on it enough, you’ll have the licks when you need them. Fundamentally, jazz is about making a creative musical statement and sounding different than anyone else, which is hard to do if you’re simply combining different patterns in a practiced or calculated way. Try to say something emotional with your music. Tell a story!
Again, there are many ways to work on music, so mix it up and keep
yourself interested. Play with play along sets (the best being the 100+ volumes in the Aebersold and Hal Leonard series, from our Library) and computer programs like Band-in-a-Box.
Perform along with actual recordings -use headphones or turn the volume up enough so that it sounds like you’re actually in the band. Even better, play live with other people. Put together jam sessions. Grab a piano player and play tunes together. Find any opportunity to actually play music, and the more talented the other players, the more you will learn. Remember, all the technique in the world matters little if you can’t make music.
Listen Actively. Jazz is one of the few forms of music were not only is it
okay to imitate others, it is often considered an honor. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a recording is worth a thousand textbooks in terms of the sheer amount that you can learn. Your jazz collection should be constantly expanding, so look to sources such as used-CD stores and online for cheap recordings.
It is generally not enough to just have music going while you are in the car or otherwise occupied —set aside actual time for dedicated listening. Better yet, listen with a friend and discuss what you hear. Included with this is transcription. Learn solos and melodies both by writing them down and by learning by ear and playing on your instrument. When transcribing, try to learn everything that the artist is doing, not just notes and rhythms. From local groups at clubs and coffee shops to major artists performing in concert halls, there is constantly jazz going on around you. Listen!
Remember, jazz is FUN! Practice hard, practice smart, and play MUSICALLY!

How to learn tunes
- Listen to the song! Listen until you have the major details memorized. Try to not only pay attention to the melody line (or your own instrument) but spend some time focusing on each member of the rhythm section. Can you hear the chord changes? Can you find the form? If you can, find multiple recordings.
- Learn the melody, by memory, if possible. Play along with your recording. If the melody has a verse at the beginning, learn that too. Even better than reading the head out of a fake book is learning it by ear from a recording.
- Determine the form of the tune. Is it blues? AABA? ABAC? How many bars is it? If it falls into one of these standard types, it will make your job much easier.
- Learn the chord changes. Use a fake book if necessary, but be careful to find one that is reliable. The Jamey Aebersold’s Play Along series of books (and MP3 audio) is usually very accurate.
- Work over the chord changes. Play scales, arpeggios, and digital patterns. Hold the 3rds and 7ths. Use a play-along record or a metronome to help you keep good time. Can you say the 3rds and 7ths in time with the metronome?
- Find the connections between the chord changes. Is there a section that is repeated in a different key? Is there a series of dominant seventh chords descending in whole steps? Where are the ii-V7-I’s?
- If there are chords or sequences of chords that you find difficult, isolate them and practice them individually. Use a play-along, computer software, or just play with a metronome. Don’t be afraid to write in ideas in your music. Jazz masters such as John Coltrane and Clifford Brown would spend hours practicing the exact licks that they would later perform.
- Improvise on the chord changes. Again, use a play-along, computer, metronome, or find a friend to comp on piano. Play at a variety of tempos and styles. As soon as you are able, play from memory. Don’t forget to utilize your “tools” – don’t just play a boring stream of eighth notes!
- Learn the tune in a different key. Particularly if you have to play with singers, songs may not always be in the expected key. Plus, it’s great ear training, and you might be surprised at how much differently you improvise in Db than C.
- Are there lyrics? Learn them – it will make a difference how you approach both the melody and the improvisation.
- Finally, have fun! Learning jazz is serious work, but performing it is a thrill that you are lucky to have experienced!
How to transcribe from a recording?
Transcription can be one of the most valuable ways to learn jazz. All of the book learning you can ever do will never compare to the amount of information you can get from a single recording. While there are many books of transcribed solos available, the real value is in doing the work, and you will not learn nearly as much by playing off of someone else’s transcription.
Here are some basic steps to follow:
- Listen to the tune! Before ever picking up a pencil or your horn, you should be intricately familiar with the tune and the solo you are about to work on. Listen not just to the notes and rhythms, but also to dynamics, articulation, inflection, and what the rhythm section is doing.
- Plot out the form of the tune. How many choruses does the soloist play? How many bars in each chorus? Is the form AABA? ABAC? Blues? Rhythm Changes? Sketch out empty space in your manuscript book that shows the form, drawing double bars often to delineate new sections. Make sure to leave enough space to fill in the solo.
- If you can get the chord changes, it will be extremely helpful. For more advanced transcribers, try to figure them out by ear. If you are having a difficult time, look up the changes to the tune in a fake book. Beware of inaccuracies—use a reliable source!
- We recommend working in sections from here, 8 or 16 bars at a time. That will allow you to focus on smaller parts of the form while still seeing quick results.
- Figure out the rhythm of the solo. You might want to sketch it into your transcription or make notation on some scrap paper. If it helps, tap your hand or your foot. Saying the beats out lead also helps in more complicated solos.
- Figure out the pitches for the rhythms you just identified. You may need to play the recording a number of times to hear them. A quick trigger finger on the “Pause” button will help considerably. You will probably need your horn or a piano to help here. If you are having trouble, look to the chord changes for guidance. Does what you’re hearing fit?
- Add dynamics, articulations, and inflections. Be thorough and specific, adding word descriptions such as “Lay back” when necessary. Try to capture as much of the artist’s sound in your transcription as possible.
- Play your work with and without the recording. Memorize it. Analyze it.
Borrow licks and use them in your own solos. Learn them in all 12 keys. You will be amazed at how much you can get out of each transcribed solo!
