Chop Monster is a sequential jazz improvisation method by acclaimed jazz pianist and educator Shelly Berg that utilizes a "call-and-response" approach: students listen to a jazz idea, imitate it until it is internalized, and then try it on their own. In Chop Monster 1, students will hear and improvise to the Ima7, iimi7, and V7 chords in the key of B-flat, plus a basic blues progression. In Chop Monster 2 students will hear and improvise to the ii-V-I progression in three keys (concert B-flat, E-flat, F).
