We improvise every day, every moment, as we live and breath. To make a long story Short we already have it, are doing it, but don't know it.
We lose this natural faculty when confronted with the problem of learning to operate a musical instrument. The hands have to learn what to do.
Next comes the notational system, and music theory, which amounts to labels for musical devices that don't really explain how they function. Only the ear tells you how they function. once the sounds penetrate to your core.
Life and Music is an attempt by me to explain to someone trying to learn, how to never lose sight of the FACT that as they live and breath, they're already "natural" improvisers. As you wade through the process of learning, always stay connected to your every day natural life force.
