Jazz Improvisation: Exploring the Basics

• 
• Clinician Name:Ronald Carter (rcarter@niu.edu)
• Clinic Synopsis: The objective of this clinic is to provide specific techniques for teaching jazz improvisation during full jazz band rehearsal or in non-jazz combo settings. Many schools fail to teach improvisation because they say, “we don’t have a combo program at our school.” Attendees will learn how to offer jazz improvisation as a normal part of every rehearsal. Players can learn to improvise in a nurturing and supportive environment.
