| Summary: | In this book the author examines the special nature of improvisation. Chase's approach to the subject is based on her conviction that we are all born with the ability to improvise, but for various reasons we learn to mistrust and even deny our capability. The book is directed as much to the beginner as to the professional. It gives simple suggestions and open-ended examples that can be expanded upon in unlimited ways. Improvisation focuses mainly on the piano, but most of the suggestions can be explored on any instrument. This book is a rich source of ideas and inspiration. --from back cover. |
