[Trombone-l] Improv in daily routine

[Gabriel Langfur]

Hello Oscar,

I'll leave it to those who teach improvisation to recommend study material, but as far as incorporating the tools into daily maintenance routines, I don't think you can do better than what Sam Burtis has put together in his book "The American Trombone." I'm pretty sure Sam is still on this list, so I hope he'll speak up. He self-published the book, and I'm not sure if he still has some copies. 

You can get started with his ideas by reading his various articles for www.trombone.org at: http://www.trombone.org/articles/browseresults.asp?nAuthorID=27

This one shows how he develops a scale to base routines on for the day: http://www.trombone.org/articles/library/outofthecase2.asp

Good stuff, whether or not you improvise in your regular music-making.

Gabe

Here are some questions for you improvisers out there:

- What material(s) do you use to develop your improvisation skills
 (such as Crook, Bergonzi, Neumeister etc.)?

- Do you incorporate improvisation as part of your daily routine? If
 so, what do you work on? Standards, licks, progressions, free, etc.?

Happy New Year!
