Ultimate Chops: 16 Steps to Total Musicianship for Contemporary Instrumentalists (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781795038683)

All great improvisers are able to demonstrate their music theory knowledge directly through their playing. This connection between theory knowledge and actual performance is an essential skill to becoming a good improviser.

This book will help you apply music elements such as scales, chords, and patterns to your instrument. They will not only enhance one's fluency with musical elements, but will also help develop the ear, an important aspect that has been glaringly absent from many current pedagogical approaches.

Musicians who aspire to perform improvised music will find these exercises especially valuable, but classical musicians can also benefit from these drills, gaining a clearer understanding of the fundamentals of music theory, put to practice on their instruments. These exercises are intended for any treble clef instrument.
