"You've got to find some way of saying it without saying it. " Duke Ellington

Improvisation is the process of spontaneously creating fresh melodies over the continuously repeating cycle of chord changes of a tune.

Learn the techniques you need to improvise including standard jazz tunes and how to improvise through the chord changes. Transcribe solos by great improvisers. Work on skills essential to being a good musician, such as ear training, Jazz theory lessons, rhythm, and sight reading.

A pair of Johns Hopkins and government scientists have discovered that when jazz musicians improvise, their brains turn off areas linked to self-censoring and inhibition, and turn on those that let self-expression flow.
