Jazz Violin Method Book 1 by Emil Kunin
Jazz Violin Method Book 1 by Israeli violinist Emil Kunin is a 75 page
practical course in improvising for the violin. This book is aimed at
musicians who wish to enter the world of Jazz music by ear and bypass
the complicated rules of jazz rhythm, melody, harmony and styles. This
book will guide the student in how to perform jazz music, how to
improvise in a variety of styles and also prepare you for more advanced
jazz studies. Before beginning the course it is required that the
student has undertaken several years of classical violin study.
There are twelve compositions by the author which make up the musical content of this book. Each of the pieces demonstrates a different aspect of jazz including the most commonly repeated passages and harmonic patterns.
Each piece consists of a theme and several choruses of improvisations which are designed to illustrate the specifics of one style or another. The compositions are presented in order of their melodic and harmonic complexity beginning with the simpler ones first
The author of this book has recorded each piece as mp3 files which comes as a supplement to the book both as violin with rhythm accompaniment and rhythm accompaniment by itself.
Although this book is primarily aimed at violinists, virtually any musician on any kind of instrument, including „scat‟ singers can use the material presented to their benefit. The book can be of great value to music teachers as well as composers and arrangers. The author hopes that this book will facilitate the study of jazz music for many musicians.
