Your solos have a shape, and it's the same shape every time. The scales aren't the problem. You choose the note you land on after you've already landed on it.

Francesca Tandoi learned the language as a student, transcribing Bud Powell and Charlie Parker until she could hear where the lines came from. Across 12 lessons she builds the vocabulary a piece at a time: approaching a triad chromatically, the bebop scale that puts chord tones on the beat, then "Donna Lee" phrase by phrase. She teaches in Italian, with English subtitles throughout.

Someone calls the tune again in the second set, and the solo goes somewhere new, because this time you know where you're going.

COURSE DETAILS

Francesca Tandoi's Jazz Improvisation video course is aimed at all musicians who wish to improve their bebop phrasing and acquire a conscious mastery of the construction of effective and musically coherent jazz solos.

Whether you are a pianist, a saxophonist or play any other instrument, you will find in this course a clear and complete guide to approach the bebop language, based on the teachings of the great masters of the genre such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell and many others.

Starting from the basics, the course introduces the study of the triad approach , approached with three main strategies: the chromatic approach, enclosures and creative freedom in the use of other triads. This provides a solid foundation for the creation of interesting and sophisticated melodic lines.

The knowledge of the major and minor bebop scales is then explored in depth, with particular attention to their harmonization on all degrees of the scale, useful for increasing fluidity and confidence during improvisation.

A central element of the video course is the harmonic analysis of jazz standards such as Autumn Leaves and Donna Lee.
Francesca shows in a practical way how to apply the techniques studied directly on the repertoire, transforming the theory into concrete music.

Furthermore, the course provides guidance on how to effectively use solo transcriptions , an indispensable tool for expanding and personalizing your musical vocabulary.
The goal is to help the student understand the mechanisms underlying bebop phrasing and integrate them into his or her own style in a natural way.

The video course is suitable for those who have basic harmonic knowledge, such as the construction of scales and chords, and want to take a decisive step in developing their improvisational ability.

Jazz Improvisation thus offers a complete path, full of practical ideas, for those who aspire to master the jazz language with awareness and taste.
