I quickly fell in love with Kind of Blue and of course we at IU started experimenting with modal tunes and trying to keep our place in those many 8 bar phrases that seemed at times to make me feel like I was in the middle of a desert and couldnt see for the life of me the beginning of the next 8 bar phrase. When I began teaching privately for the first time in Seymour, Indiana I had a girl flute student who really had a great sound. One day I asked her to improvise on a D- Dorian scale and off she went. I could tell she was playing what she heard in her mind and I was so surprised. It really sounded natural. So, I asked other students to play on a Dorian scale and they did fine. Thats how I got started teaching improv. I think others at the time were using the blues as a vehicle but the students I was working with knew nothing about the blues but they could keep their place in the 4 and 8 bar phrases so I went ahead later and used that modal approach on my Volume 1 play-along . . . and the rest is history.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alfred Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45255605354549,"sku":"ByrdShop_1562241222","price":48.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781562241223_39ef45ad-24a3-4949-91a8-835aae1eec04.jpg?v=1779931957","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/how-to-play-jazz-improvise-9781562241223","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
