Jazz Improvisation is one of the most transcendent and satisfying experiences for an instrumentalist. Deutsch has taught a workshop on Jazz Improvisation several times at Caltech. There is an emphasis on music theory and genre-appropriate vocabulary. Ear-playing is equaly as important as reading chord changes, and both methods are highlighted. Elliot Deutsch holds an MM in Jazz Studies from CSU Long Beach, and has studied improvisation privately with Ron Stout, Jeff Jarvis, and Bobby Rodriguez.
Jazz Improvisation lessons are only appropriate for intermediate to advance level instrumentalists.
