Improvise jazz on violin with a simple six-step method
Many string players come from a classical background which may not have taught them how to play by ear. While this can provide an excellent grounding in music, it doesn't teach you how to improvise, and often it's difficult for classically trained musicians to learn Jazz soloing.
Beginner Jazz Soloing For Violin is the perfect guide to bridge the gap. Devised by Buster Birch (visiting jazz professor at Trinity Conservatoire), this book teaches a creative method for improvisation that's been road-tested at hundreds of workshops.

Don't just take our word for it!
This is a great resource, both for beginners and more advanced students (it's always good to go backwards!) Buster arranges this in a way that introduces ideas logically and slowly, yet still allows for creativity and invention.
Liam Noble, Professor of Jazz Piano at Birmingham Conservatoire & Trinity College of Music
The music world has been waiting for a series like this to help release students (and their teachers) from any need to be fearful of musical creativity. In clear steps Buster has has de-mystified the first steps of an improviser's and a composer's craft.
Howard Moody, Composer (Glyndebourne, La Monnaie, Opéra national du Rhin, LSO, SCO, La Folia); ECM Recording Artist
