Bob Sinicrope has produced a wonderfully comprehensive method for learning to improvise that breaks new ground in how to explain and instruct students trying to understand this elusive artform. His Pathways Towards Greatness series distills the many elements involved in spontaneous creativity into understandable blocks, taking the student a step at a time as they assemble the tools and skill sets needed to be an effective improviser. Bob approaches the topic from both a right and left brain point of view, with an appropriate balance between the musical nuts and bolts required and the intuitive and innate perspective that is so important when playing music. Highly recommended! Denis DiBlasio -
Clear, easy to understand and right to the point. From an educator who communicates a pathway into improvisation to a culture that may not have grown up side by side with this music. No tricks. A lot of wisdom here. In Bob we trust! |
