Publisher Desc.  Improvising is scary and it's hard to teach to a full group of diverse students. This book is an effort to fix both of those problems! Throughout this book, your students will practice foundational jazz phrases which support their development in jazz improvisational as part of a daily warmup! Books include twelve one-page long warmups for your jazz band and each page helps your students practice major and minor licks in that particular key, acting as a resource for your students to write out their own jazz solos! Solo worksheets are included for a handful of blues chord progressions and two popular jazz contrafacts. Make up your own solo sheets for the songs your band is playing, and students can begin preparing solos for the concert! We didn't forget about your drummers! Drum set book includes basic jazz grooves, fills, and basic solo material for improvising around the drum set. Drummers can study new grooves, insert grooves from the tunes they are playing, practice fills, and study improvisation just like the rest of the band uses theirs. A great approach to beginning improvisation!
