There are only TWO mindsets when it comes to #improvisation: we call them the "Planning" vs the "Discovering" mindsets. If you're an #improv student or teacher, this is core and important information to use in your craft.

A student asked me to go back and re-teach some #improv basics. Last week I gave them what they wanted.
A return to being in the moment and the #zen #meditation of #improvising

This discussion of Thelonius Monk’s insistence on #improvising on the melody is everything I shoot for in my relationship to religious #tradition.

Here's an untitled #composition by myself with #improvising.
#Improvising #musicians in that #London later this month might like to check out this "Out Of The Box" workshop that #cellist Hannah Marshall is running. She's great, this will likely be great too.

(Kinda) #improvising for now, might look up the patterns next time.

P.S. #dyslexia both sucks and rocks.
Leaving town for Origins Game Fair in the morning and I had Good Food that was going to go to waste if I didn't act. And so we had mangoes with a brown sugar-butter-pecan sauce, flambéed with smoked maple bourbon and topped with honey-thyme crème fraîche for dessert.
Everything I’ve said so far is about composing for live #performance, and specifically about preparing music (on paper) to be brought to life by #performers who are trained to interpret it. That’s most of what I do in music. But I would love to work more with #improvising players and explore that side of my musicianship again. Either way though, I’ve always depended on performers, and #liveMusic has always been my focus.

Nice story. I went through this myself albeit at a much younger age. My sister gave me a #guitar and I deliberately put aside all my theory and just made shapes and listened, bearing in mind what another classical player told me - the best players know exactly how they want to sound.

#Friday #piano, second take. I'm always so unsure of my skills and think I suck! I'm usually playing melodies from my head improvising like this. This is completely out of the blue, unnamed melody, I have no idea where it came from.
I don't plan it, I just play. It's fun, because you never know what you are going to get. Like pushing buttons.
I guess it's something.
Wrote another page for this #todr performance. A narrative is coming together but the #performance of #storytelling is still lacking. I think I’ll be able to revise it tomorrow into something I’m comfortable reading on stage, it’s just unusual to perform something prepared as opposed to #improvising it.
