For all instruments. Following that melody you hear in your head is the most important skill for an improviser. This method trains you to recognise intervals through familiar tunes and use this knowledge to develop melodic reflexes on your instrument. This is for the 97% of people who don’t have perfect pitch, the vast majority who can recognise a melody without knowing what key it’s in. Just find the first note and the rest follows. Based on intervals rather than fixed pitches, MOVES notation was developed specifically to wean the classically chained musician from his dots, with a fresh approach covering ear-training and intervallic awareness, empowering him to follow his melodic inspiration with confidence and accuracy. Radical concepts replace the sterile traditional fare of modes and chords to help generate real ideas of what to play. This is a workbook that will have you re-discovering your instrument and rethinking your approach to music.
