London Music Artist Academy

Everything that you discover and learn melodically, harmonically, rhythmically, or technically, should be explored and practiced in a real musical context.
If you are new to Improvisation I often recommend starting with the Minor Pentatonic Scale.
You can then learn and use some simple chords to create your real music context, and that could become a backing track that you record, it could be a simple sequence of chords, maybe two chords for an “A” section, and two chords for a “B” section.
If you have a friend to play with that’s even better!
When you start improvising try to connect to each note and take your time to absorb those sounds, allow space and feel to be in the experience. Don’t rush it, stay in the moment, suspended.
Then you would start exploring real music, where those notes become powerful and meaningful colours, and they eventually be your musical voice.
It’s an inspiring, precious and rewarding process.
Enjoy!

Phrygian, the 3rd Mode of the Natural Major Scale, if used softly it's very beautiful and pensive, with the right sound it can suggest Flamenco-ish and Heavy Metal...

Afrobeat.
Often the study of Modes suggests and leads to specific Music genres.
While preparing the next lesson and the Dorian Mode this Afrobeat groove came.
It has a naturally hypnotic effect.
Explore Music, Discover New Sounds, Get Inspired.
Practice is the best.

The Modes, or derived scales from a main Scale are a precious improvisation and composition tools. Each of them carries a very unique character and often suggests a specific music genre or flavour. Here's an extract of yesterday lesson with my dedicated student Roy.
