Improvisation 101 is a step-by-step approach to improvisation in jazz, rock and pop music. Based on easy music which can be practiced together with a band on the play-along CD, each chapter comes with brief explanations as to which notes sound best when improvising and why. Solos by experienced jazz musicians serve as examples for the player's own attempts at improvisation. The textbook can also be used by a band at schools or music schools for pupils with at least two years of instrumental lessons.
