Your mistakes

🪕🪗🎺 IMPROVISING MUSIC 🎼✍🏻

                                 🖊️🪘Season 2. Episode 6 . EMBRACE YOUR MISTAKES✏️✏️🎤 

Many people get discouraged when learning the art of improvisation because they try for perfection – when that is perhaps the exact opposite of the true spirit of improvisation!

_Improvising music isn’t about avoiding mistakes – it’s about risking them and recovering from them._

If you always stay perfectly within the audience’s expectations and the “rules” of music then your improvisations will be dull and predictable. You need to push the boundaries and be willing to risk trying things that might not work out.

What saves this from producing a mess of “wrong” notes is that you should also learn to recover from mistakes.

Play a whole string of bad-sounding notes and your improvisation is, by all accounts, a failure.

But play a single bad-sounding note, and you have a whole range of possible ways to recover from that “mistake” and make it musical. Those momentary clashes of discord that shake the audience out of their slumber can actually become your solo’s greatest power, if you learn to skilfully turn your phrase in a direction that makes that “wrong” note “right”.
