“The Art of Improvisation”
Jazz and Improvisation can be taught. Of that there is no doubt. It requires good knowledge on the student’s part and a sound theory basis and a “feel” for the music style. In short, it takes work, but it can be comfortably achieved.
Proprietor of Big Tick Music and jazz musician, Frankie Bull, has over 40 years of playing experience and plays a range of instruments. He teaches jazz, jazz theory and improvisation in regional schools, as well as basic music.
With a repertoire ranging from light classical to jazz, modern, old time, show tunes and standards, Frankie is passing on his knowledge to those who would like to increase their musical skills and especially in the field of jazz and improvisation.
