l Vocal Improvisation GamesJeffrey Agrell &
Patrice Madura Ward-Steinman. The authors of
this book open the door to improvisation for all
non-jazz musicians who thought it was beyond
their ability to play extemporaneously. Gently,
step by step, Jeffrey Agrell and Patrice Madura
lead us through a series of games rather than
exercises. The game format takes the pressure
off of classically trained musicians, steering
them away from their fixation on mistake-
free performance and introducing the basic
concepts of playing with music itself instead
of obsessing over a perfect rendition of a
written score.
