Sam –
I started using this with an adult student this week, and I am really impressed with Elena’s layered approach to improvisation. Sometimes students have trouble coordinating both hands in improvisation, but Elena takes the student one step at a time, and voila!, the student can improvise something that sounds good! Congratulations, Elena!

This is a truly AWESOME book!!! I’ve needed this for the last 20 years of teaching!!! Can’t believe I only ordered one – will certainly now be ordering several more Elena. Thank you so much for an unbelievably fantastic resource!!!

This is exactly what I have been looking for. As a teacher who is new to teaching and improvising myself, this is a great exercise to work on myself as well as to teach to my students. I currently have a student who loves learning Super Duck, and is inspired to work hard on these exercises to improve her skills on improvisation!
Thank you, Elena!

They are wonderful! We had a Jazz Workshop this Fall designed around these exercises including Super Duck. 100% studio attendance, children ages 6-11, so much fun! Some only learned 4 note blues scale, some memorized entire exercises and improvised their own blues melodies. I recommend!

This is an AWESOME improvisation exercise. I teach this to all my students, and they love it! Few students not only improvise but compose as well using the skills learned in this exercise. To top it off, this exercise comes with the super popular one and only SUPER DUCK, my studio’s favorite! This is a must-have for any studio. Highly recommended! Thanks, Elena for writing this exercise and the catchy Super Duck. Quack!
