Jazz p¡ar'o can be a very enjoyable rnusical exper¡ence from a listening standpo¡nt, to everyone, both aclult and youngster alike. Howeve¡, when a Derson. whether studied or not classically speakiñg, attempts to enter the Jazz world from a playing aspect, he often f¡ncls himself harnstrung by many variecl musical inadequacies. Very few people truly ever attribute their lack of abil¡ty to the proper cause, I feel. Many of them blame what they term their creat¡ve ¡nability to conceive jazz phrases, w¡thout stopp¡ng to realize thal a jazz technique in many ways is a completely new form of technique when comoared with the classical. lt is with this pr¡mary aspect in m¡nd that lhave conceived this set of beginner's exerc¡ses. I feel thát if the player honestly ancl sincerely learns the ¡azz bxercises one at a t¡me, and after having compteted one, then applies that learn¡ng to the little iazz m¡nuet that matches the exercise, he will Ére iñ effect condit¡oning the hands for proceed¡ng into deeper jazz play¡ng.
