Hi there! I am Olena, originally from Ukraine, now living in Okinawa. Used to play classic violin for 11 years, graduated from the music college 30 years ago and haven’t been playing since then till the last year. I have Japanese friends who run a jazz club here and they persistently encourage me to play. So, for about 6 months I am trying to recall techniques and mostly work on intonation, which always was my problem. I played with the band several times already but I do not have a single idea how to improvise and what specific technique jazz violinists use. This is what I am looking for. Nice to meet you all!
Using Lines for Improv
Here is a little example of how you might use lines that you have learned when practising improv. Using one of the lines from the new course "46 Simple Lines in G"
