In order to play jazz and improvise on the violin you should familiarize yourself with the most common jazz scale which is known as the minor Dorian scale. Learn this scale in all the key signatures in both directions to give you the freedom to let loose and improvise effortlessly. Add the 9th to the scale and swing the eighth notes to make it even more interesting. Listen to as much jazz as possible to learn from what others are doing.

Are you aware that you can post a video or audio file in the party room that does not show you playing, if you are not after a badge. We are after participation, so if you want to add to a party and not show yourself, feel free. I added an mp3 audio file to Stringy's Spring Plant Party. After all, it is a party room, be creative if you wish, have fun! You must be the one playing, though.Mouse
