The melodies themes of jazz standards are constructed simply with whole, half and quarter notes.

So the first point is to learn how to improvise with whole, half and quarter notes, at a rhythmic level.

And at the melodic level there’s a second point, which is to improvise simply with the notes of the chord.

My name is Nicola Sergio, I’m a jazz pianist, composer and arranger. I perform in clubs and at festivals, in France and abroad.
For 20 years I’ve been teaching individuals, in schools and conservatoires.

Improvising means creating as you play, so it requires an apprenticeship. This is why I created my method, which is called SOS IMPRO.
