Edition: Paperback Book and 2 CD Package

Description: 136 Pages This is a real ear training method that presents in an organized fashion a collection of study concepts that help you develop a functional knowledge and physical sensitivity to progressions, tensions, scales, intervals, and melodies. With clear step-by-step instructions all concepts are demonstrated live in real time by the author on the enclosed CDs.

I´m pleased to endorse this book. Here is a method that approaches improvisation from an ear training perspective. It integrates the classical movable Do system into a clearly defined concept for jazz improvisational study. The dictation exercises are clearly explained and demonstrated with the goal of developing an intuitive sense of pitch relationships within the context of tonality. I recommend this book to the serious instrumental student who wants to move from point A to point B in a logical progression of activities for the development of hearing on the instrument.
