Not every student wants to explore improvisaton but for those who do, there is ample material included in my curriculum to learn the basics of chord progressions, 12 bar blues patterns, and individual compositional techiniques.  Building skills through a step by step process learning of rhythm, theory, harmony and melody enables students to create original compositions.  Using the Sibelius computer program, the compositions are able to be transferred to the computer and printed in a professional sheetmusic format.
