MUSIC COMPOSITION AND IMPROVISATION FOR THE 21ST CENTURY


“What if…..
At just the right time, just the right people made just the right thing?
What if it come out so right that no matter how hard anybody tried, they could not quite make a thing that was better then the first thing?It does not happen much, but the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrea RS is one of these things. There is something about this car that feels perfect.”
– Jerry Sinfield (Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Series 1 Eps 15)
“THE PRINCIPLES OF IMPROVISATION” BY MIAIM
IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE THINGS.

We all start out with
dreams and ambitions…
but how often do we come to realise that they are not all achievable?

Taken back in 1992, not long after we met and began a life long journey into our unique forms of improvisation.
Do not be afraid to sound like YOU and not your favourite star.
We do not tell you what to play, no one can.
However, we can give you the tools to create new musical ideas.
This is the first innovation in music theory since the 17th century. Reducing the Cycle of Keys to a common tonic is THE GATEWAY TO DEVELOPING IDEAS for any style or genre of music improvisation.
Our aim at miAim (pronounced my aim) is to develop a level playing field where
all who wish to reach their full potential on improvisation can find
the most comprehensive materials to assist them with the greatest expediency
to attain their goal.
Through these texts and charts improvisation can and will
cease to be an intangible phenomenon.
Are you tired of all your music sounding the same?
Not getting enough new ideas fast enough?
Annoyed at the same old i – iv – ii – v chord progression?
Are you truly serious about learning improvisation and creative music composition?
Then miAim (my aim) has the solution FOR YOU!!
