Показать описание
In this video, I am going to talk about the Bebop Language, what that means, how to study Bebop Language. So I will go over some of the different ways you can practice and study to get this language into your ears and your playing.

Learning to play Jazz usually starts with being curious about how to get a certain sound that you have heard on a recording. And once you start exploring jazz you probably become aware that it is, in fact, a complete musical language that you need to understand and internalize. In the same way, you have internalized other languages like for example rock or blues.

This video is not a lesson going over what bebop is, it is an overview of the different ways you can study bebop and learn that language.

Thanks Jens, great video again! I find it interesting that you use the term "language" in context of jazz here. I read about it the other day at the jazzadvice blog. So thats a nice coincidence seeing your video today. The guy(s) there also stress the fact a lot that. Meaning to see jazz as a language. Its grammar is made of certain arps, phrasing techniques etc but all that isolated is not what makes a language come alive. Your video added some interesting insights thanks! Best Wishes!

How do you recommend practicing composing lines? Should I actually write them all down and practice them? And transpose to all keys? Anything else?
