Overview
Please read the description before making your purchase: As such, this book assumes you have a basic working knowledge of jazz/classical theory, beginner level jazz harmony, and performance. In UNLOCK, you will take your knowledge from the beginner and intermediate levels to the next step. If you don't have this level of knowledge yet, this book should be considered your next step.
The first part of this book will focus on using examples and situations common in the jazz idiom. The first part is designed to assist the reader in understanding where they are - musically - and how they can improve their skills in the jazz idiom.The second part will focus on building technical skill through technical exercises. These exercises are designed to invite the reader to explore and improve the strategies they employ during their improvisations. These exercises are also designed to help the reader find a piece of their musical identities.As an example, you should be able to: Practice exercises to slower or faster tempos; with or without a metronome; and physically on your instrument or away from your instrument.Improve your ability to transpose sequences from a major key to a minor key, or up or down by a set interval.Improve your technical agility while working on transpositions.It's worth noting, that: There are no articulations or dynamic markings anywhere throughout the book. It's suggested that the reader try out all of the different articulations and feels when playing through the exercises.As you can see from the above list, one exercise can yield a lot of results and benefits. While the information presented can be a lot at times throughout the book, it's very important to remember to be patient with the exercises and take it slowly at first.
PATIENCE IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN THIS BOOK

All thanks and congratulations go to Mr. OZCAGATAY for the creation of his new book for all jazz and classical flutists. In a very sophisticated, detailed and thorough manner, Mr. Ozcagatay has presented a comprehensive and creative excursion that will prove to be both educational and inspirational. With the "dawn of the age" of classical flutists, Such as myself, who yearn to learn more and more about the improvisation process, I will enjoy such a volume for years to come.

My friend and jazz-flutist extraordinaire Sarpay Ozcagatay (aka "SharpEye") has written a long-anticipated and exhaustive treatise on the jazz flute called "Unlock The Jazz Flute, Vol.1" which, in my opinion, should be a must-have book for any aspiring jazz flutist There are no other books like this anywhere, and I'm heartened and optimistic that this will serve to widen the hitherto scarce educational literature going forward. (full testimonial is on "Unlock")
