Improvise jazz on flute with a simple six-step method

This is not a how to play the flute book. It's a how to play music book!

Many woodwind players come from a classical background which may not have taught you how to play by ear. While this can provide an excellent grounding in music, it doesn’t teach you how to improvise, and often it's difficult for classically trained musicians to learn Jazz soloing.

Beginner Jazz Soloing For Flute is the perfect guide to bridge the gap. Devised by Buster Birch (visiting jazz professor at Trinity Conservatoire), this book teaches a creative method for improvisation that's been road-tested at hundreds of workshops.

“I wish this book was around when I started learning Jazz Flute! Buster’s approach is very clear and precise; linking rhythmic patterns with a harmonic idea is essential to producing great jazz.”

Andy Panayi, Professor of Jazz and Classical Flute at The Royal College of Music and Birmingham Conservatoire

“This book is a must for anyone wanting to learn to improvise but is confused about how to start the journey. You are in good hands with this publication and will soon find yourself improving with a new found joy and confidence.”
