Stepping Stones Through Jazz Improvisation is the essential resource for musicians and educators. Have you ever heard a jazz musician improvise a solo or play by ear? Maybe you’ve thought, “Wow, that’s impressive, and I probably will never be able to do that.” Well, think again, because renowned jazz musician and educator Doug Stone has just pulled back the curtain on jazz improvisation! In his brand new series, Stepping Stones Through Jazz Improvisation, Doug Stone releases his comprehensive and accessible approach to learning how to improvise.Now available in concert pitch, E-flat, and B-flat transpositions, the Stepping Stones books will take beginner and experienced improvisers to the next level. Here’s what some musicians (including the legendary Jamey Aebersold!) have to say about Doug’s new series: “This book will be a staple for years to come. It’s practical, understandable, usable and FUN. Band directors and private instructors can use this with their students at any stage of development. This book, coupled with the teacher’s imagination, will give the student a well-rounded approach to playing jazz and a strong foundation for applying jazz theory.” - Jamey Aebersold, National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master "I have witnessed Doug use these techniques with our jazz bands, honor jazz ensembles, and in jazz improvisation clinics. I have learned something new every time I watch him work, and I am always impressed with the results he gets with the students. Doug’s Stepping Stones Through Jazz Improvisation will now become a part of our daily routine." - Lee Hicks, Director of Bands, Fontainebleau High School - Mandeville, LA "Doug Stone's practice procedure has transformed my improvisation through a comprehensible and methodical approach that has brought me great success in effectively learning jazz techniques. This is a process I will continue to use throughout my career as a jazz musician and as an educator." - Kayla Ramos, Music Education Major, Louisiana State University *Bb Instruments Edition*
