Improv duet ideas (student/teacher):
- 3-note improv with any blues song (G-A-Bb, G-Bb-C, C-Eb-F). Choose any of these combinations for the student to improv on while you play a blues song.
- 5/5, 1 on A with Night Storm Accompaniment arrangement
- 5/5, 1 on C with Dreams Come True Accompaniment arrangement
- Black notes with Life Song lower part (in Time for More Music)
- White notes with Honey Dew or Amazing Grace
These are good for beginner students or anyone who doesn’t play yet, to give them the experience of creating something that sounds great.
