My method
Iv never been one for a full method for teaching jazz violin. Everyone has a different goal in terms of style and musical output.
However I do think Iv developed a unique method for engraving melodies into your playing.
People in my practise club probably know this already. Some of you who have taken my courses may have got the idea a little too.
It’s simple to me but maybe not to others (a few people have even pushed back on it)
I take a melody that I like, like a lick or a little section of a lick.
I work out if I can extract the concept of it: the shape of it and any enclosures it has.
Then I try and move it up the major scale that it’s based on.
It helps me work out “what” the line is made of which in turn helps me work out “how” I can use it later and then perhaps “why” the line is so nice.
It turns a single line into 7 other lines that might be useful later and helps me really learn the major scale, which is the basis of all western harmony.
