ABSTRACT:
Techniques for gaining facility in the performance of jazz music by performing a sequence of patterns. Each pattern begins at a fixed interval from the preceding pattern in the sequence and the patterns are performed with perpetual motion between the patterns. The patterns are all performed with the same articulation and are systematically performed across the complete range of the instrument and across a complete set of key areas and modes. In an exemplary embodiment, the patterns are made up of eighth note octave scales played in four four time with notes played on the upbeat being slurred to notes played on the downbeat. The last note of one pattern is slurred to the first note of the next. In the exemplary embodiment, the sequences of patterns are performed in all keys and the scales are drawn from the major scale and modes that stem from the major scale.
