Directed towards elementary, middle school and high school music students and their teachers, Rhythm First! is the only book designed to teach beginners how to improvise by focusing on basic rhythms as the starting point for building solo lines. It includes a play-along CD so that the student can hear, see, count and feel what good jazz time consists of. Starting with simple rhythmic figures, the book progresses until the student is able to improvise using longer strings of rhythms to create real solo lines. All this is done without having to learn a bunch of scales and chords before making any music and this makes learning to improvise fun! The C version is available now. The Bb, Eb and bass clef versions will be available later in the spring of 2016.

Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Condition: new. The first book to teach students to start soloing using rhythms instead of scales and chords. In a step-by-step fashion, Tom builds up the students library of rhythmic figures and has them playing along with the accompanying CD to get the sound and feel of jazz soloing under their fingers. This Rhythm First method is more fun and therefore more successful in getting kids starting to improvise than any other approach. A must for any school band program!
