If you have ever stared at a blank bar in a jazz chart, felt your throat lock up, and thought, “There is absolutely no way I can make up notes on the fly,” I want you to take a deep breath.
Improvisation isn’t a magical gift reserved for a chosen few. It’s a game of beautiful, creative freedom—and yes, a little bit of glorious chaos! You don't need a perfect voice or flawless instrumental technique to start; you just need a willingness to play.
Enjoying Music Improvisation (affectionately known as EMI) is currently being written, edited, and fueled by a steady stream of coffee and jazz records. It is being designed for both vocalists and instrumentalists to help you break free from the cage of the written page.
On Saturday, October 24th, 2026, I am giving a presentation on Improvisation where I will use sections of the book to demonstrate the concept. Preparing for the presentation gave me the extra steam to get the book out of the sandbox. If you want to be updated when the final release is ready, Contact Laura.
