Turn Those Boring Scale Exercises Into Jazz

by | Jazz Improvisation

You know those boring exercises many books start you out with when you’re first learning your scales on the instrument?  For the most part, they are based on a 4 note motif that is diatonically transposed to begin on every degree of the given scale. This is what is known as a motivic sequence.

In this lesson I show you the procedure to extract these motifs from many of those boring scale exercises and turn them into what you set out to accomplish in the first place….that is, play real music and not just scale exercises!
