Improv Etudes The “Improv Etudes” are used to help the student to develop his/her “Linear Improvisation” skills and his/her technique. The “Improv Etudes” in most cases are composed of all eight-notes without any rests. The purpose of that in the primary case is to avoid the possibility of the student to simply memorize the etude and then perform it on stage. That is not improvisation and not creative. It is more important to keep the timing by the etudes. Since one does have to breathe, one should leave out notes but keep the tempo and timing. It is also encourages to transpose these etudes into other keys, preferably the “harder” ones, in order to aid the student to be able to “hear into” the foreign key better. The following are examples of a “Rhythm Changes” Improv Etude. Start off at a slow tempo and eventually increase the speed. If you have play-along rhythm tracks, use them.
