The Principles of Improvisation Collection

The Mode Books

Which Improvisation Book is right for me?

For Beginners we recommend Book One – An Introduction to Music Improvisation. It has all the basic music theory required to be a good musician.

For Intermediate players, those with some experience, we recommend one of The 7 Mode Companions. They examine the relationship between the Ionian Mode and respective Mode (note of the scale) to show how to develop your own ideas on the improvised line. 

For Advanced experienced players, composers and music students we recommend one of The 3 Complete Handbooks. They contain everything you need to know about all the Occidental (Diatonic), Oriental (PentaTonic) and Chromatic scales and their alterations. These are complete encyclopedia in themselves from which you will gain a new idea every day for the rest of your life.

  You can begin with any Book from The Principles of Improvisation Collection’s, as what is written in one book, equally applies to the others.
Each book is a complete syllabus in itself so that you can ‘specialise’ in one particular aspect (mode) of creating the improvised line.
