I %HESITATION mmhm %HESITATION of mmhm thank you for months %HESITATION invoices soon something that I have been useing in my life for some uses so and as a teacher and as a composer for a little bit more than thirty years think it's of a fantastic thing and the I still don't know really what it is still contribute to be honest but if our normally you know
it like I did not know I was improvising from the inside deserve how I do it but to look on it from the outside it's not so easy but I will try to speak about it and I think it starts with an action you have to do something you have to jump straight into the creative act were thinking actually gets too slow and you don't have
any possibilities for editing and that can be a little scary course from the beginning but but I I think it's a good thing to use I think we all can use improvisation in our daily life just to make life a little bit more fun you know take a different way home from work or aura just to realize that there is not only one way of doing
things we can think differently about many things and do things in many different ways so what does it take to improvise well I think it takes Sir the text that you are in the present moment to listen and of course it takes courage because you have to welcome the future you have to welcome the unknown it's not so fond hope or was it was so easy
always but it's it's about dot I was lucky when I was a kid I grew up with parents but for working as volunteers in the local jazz festival and %HESITATION I was lucky to hear some fantastic music when I was a kid I heard fantastic Mrs since I met some fantastic musicians and when I got older I also worked in the organization little bit if I
helped receiving tickets by the entrance I brought to the sound which is to the musicians you know giving flowers to the singer some to to the missus on south of the concerts and stuff like that but there was there were the muse of there was the music of course attending these concerts fantastic concert to listen and to see it of those luminous some brilliant geniuses songs
playing their hearts out on stage Funtastic people so inspiring I've felt that while I want to play music to and then I discovered I fell in love with this instrument the saxophone not so much about the sound actually in the beginning but the the looks of it it's beautiful isn't it sign a lot of keys and at the when your town or twelve you don't understand
all the small codes in music but not when I'm older I realize that the musicians they were improvising they were playing with music in the truest sounds on the it was for me it was completely of something magic about it and I also I think I learned that may be music can be heard the sound of the soul and if it's not where you may be
improvised say some is the soul music when I teach beginners how to improvise I try to remember this online try to give my students something of that as I said earlier it can be %HESITATION scary in the beginning when you improvise sue have to take the students by the hound and you have to take them with you into the exciting bubble of music because when you
improvise for the first time it's like entering a different reality it's like getting in touch with pro gnosis or really making music although almost Anne rule material at all so when you do that for the first time it's nice to be together with you were some friends and maybe your teacher or something like that because you it's like you entered the bubble of music and you
see the colors for the first time and you feel the smell of music and you try to gain the courage to John two crates to do something so I have these maybe it's the groove strange idea but I have this idea that we still do a small improvise station together we will make some use it together do you want to try to do something okay good
good okay and we will work with the a three books if and inbox number one I I will give you a very simple very basic tunes so in box number one we have the glissando to and get a glissando it's you take your voice and you do move I'm up and down like that and you can choose the speed on the reins it's you can improvise
though I don't mind let's listen to that books number one glissando and you don't have to do it simultaneously you can tune like now that's better other strength as wonderful okay %HESITATION and and let's move over to books number two this will be the sound effect nature box we will have winter and we do the wind like this as great and we do some water like
one four and and the you can choose one of them or you can do them at the same time the schools yeah so that's box number two and then we have books number three %HESITATION in books number for three and we will be a bunch of barking dogs you you can choose your favorite dog sounds okay rough you okay ready steady go so did you realize
that we were actually making music together and we were even improvising a little bit it's not not so hard this can be a way in to the word of improvising and actually improvising has been around in all kinds of music in all times and some times when I think about them for why say some I I I I divided into three parts owned part one is
like improvise Sason exists like a method a method in different different kinds of %HESITATION musical dialects you know in Dallas we have one dialect in full music in not different Wanyan borrow music in the Indian music or in Brazilian music soul different and the second part is like music earned him from a se some town excuse like if stronger in music or in the arts and
