Components of Improvisation

There are many ways you can participate during ensemble improvisation. Each approach adds a different facet to the sound, and each requires a distinct set of skills on the part of the player.

Playing a Solo

Playing a solo is the first thing most people think of when they think of improvisation, because the person taking the solo is always the featured musician at the moment she is soloing, while the other musicians are taking a supporting role. In simple terms, improvising a solo consists of listening to the rhythm and the chord progression that are being played by the band and creating on-the-spot melody lines over those sounds. Improvised solos are scale-driven, meaning that the soloist must first know what key and what types of scales fit over the chord changes in order to improvise over those changes using notes that are appropriate.
