Please read the description before making your purchase: As such, this book assumes you have a basic working knowledge of jazz/classical theory, beginner level jazz harmony, and performance. In UNLOCK, you will take your knowledge from the beginner and intermediate levels to the next step. If you don't have this level of knowledge yet, this book should be considered your next step.The first part of this book will focus on using examples and situations common in the jazz idiom. The first part is designed to assist the reader in understanding where they are - musically - and how they can improve their skills in the jazz idiom.The second part will focus on building technical skill through technical exercises. These exercises are designed to invite the reader to explore and improve the strategies they employ during their improvisations. These exercises are also designed to help the reader find a piece of their musical identities.As an example, you should be able to: Practice exercises to slower or faster tempos; with or without a metronome; and physically on your instrument or away from your instrument.Improve your ability to transpose sequences from a major key to a minor key, or up or down by a set interval.Improve your technical agility while working on transpositions.It's worth noting, that: There are no articulations or dynamic markings anywhere throughout the book. It's suggested that the reader try out all of the different articulations and feels when playing through the exercises.As you can see from the above list, one exercise can yield a lot of results and benefits. While the information presented can be a lot at times throughout the book, it's very important to remember to be patient with the exercises and take it slowly at first. PATIENCE IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN THIS BOOK! https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wGNwq7L7bQ&list=PLaH8BJX8gQSl8lyQJc8wST43q4xfTd21iTESTIMONIALSCAROL WINCENC Concertizing International Flute SoloistProfessor of Flute and Chamber Music at Juilliard School and Stony Brook UniversityNFA Lifetime Achievement Award RecipientNaumburg and Concert Artists Guild LaureateAll thanks and congratulations go to Mr. OZCAGATAY for the creation of his new book for all jazz and classical flutists.
