From Classical to Jazz an Improvisation Method is a book specially made for clasically trained musicians who would like to adventure into improvisation and jazz. It was first intended for french horn but as I was developing it, I realized that it could easily be adapted to any instrument because it is mainly based on the Circle of 4ths. It’s a book full exercises that includes Major and Minor pentatonic scales, Blues scales, Chord tones, Modes and much more information that will help you when having to improvise and when there is no written music around. It is a very fun method, you can be very creative with it, adapted to your own level of execution, you can use a classical articulation or a jazz articulation, all depends in what do you want to work on. Hope you enjoy it. Please send a me a personal message if you would like to acquire the book. *I made Practice Tracks as a complement for the book. There are in the practice track page of this website

Hi Joshua
I am visiting family in PR around the beginning of February. Are you playing anywhere in late January or early February? Also, what publication or website lists all types of music in town?

Whenever I play my instrument it sounds kinda brassy and not like any of the French horns I've heard, do you know how to fix that?
Joshua Pantoja
25.11.2021 01:41
Hi Isaac, soon I will do a video about that. I will let you know as soon as I upload it. For now, try working on breath attacks and playing comfortable long notes. Thanks for writing.
