Do you dream of improvising jazz fluently and playing your solos with that distinctive Bebop sound?

In this piano tutorial, we’ll learn how to use the Bebop language to develop our solo and analyze the most common mistakes that hinder our jazz improvisation on the piano.

We’ll go beyond the scale/chord relationship. Discover why when we develop our solo based on harmonic analysis, we end up playing disconnected solos.

The 7note scales of our Scale/Chord relationship are odd and therefore don’t divide well into our 4/4 beat. In this lesson, we’ll learn how jazz resolves this issue by adding an extra note to these scales, turning them into 8note even scales known as ‘Bebop Scales.’

We’ll also learn to develop our solo using melodic devices instead of scale runs. In this lesson, we are going to develop a phrase using passing tones and enclosures.

Master the art of jazz improvisation! Free yourself from scale limitations!
