Ideas about exploring on your own.

<p>
Is improvisation for me? Self study can help determine that.
</p>
<aside class="notes">
<p>
</p>
<p>
It's like practicing with Rosetta Stone.
</p>
<p>
This type of practicing evolved as an important part of jazz training.
</p>
<p>
Jazz people have developed a lot of effective pedagogy, which can be used for any genre.
</p>
<p>
This type of practicing and traditional classical scale work overlap somewhat.
</p>
<p>
I will show you some of the overlap, and give you a taste of this type of training.

Memorize pattern with participants. Pull up circle of fifths and play pattern through D and G major only.
</p>
<p>
Play the pattern slowly in F. Suggest either playing in 2nd position with the same finger pattern, or playing in 1st position with a different pattern.
</p>
<p>
Repeat in Bb.
</p>
<p>
Discuss playing patterns through the entire circle, shifting or changing finger patterns as needed.

<h2 id="orgf2a89a2">Conclusion</h2>
<p>
You can memorize the circle of fifths, and become completely comfortable with jumping around the circle.
</p>
<p>
Get comfortable with playing through the circle with various scale and phrase patterns, without thinking about key sigs.
</p>
<p>
Make things up; fool around; have fun.
</p>
<p class="fragment">
It's a natural but long process, like learning a foreign language.
</p>
<p class="fragment">
Total fluency is a lifelong goal.
</p>
<p class="fragment">
If you are participating in a musical community, your rate of progress will skyrocket.
