Summary of This Method
"La Partition intérieure" offers a comprehensive path to develop the art of improvisation, regardless of your instrument. Each chapter addresses an essential axis of the improvised language: working on sound and intention, refining rhythm, constructing melodic lines, understanding harmony, mastering forms, telling a musical story, and interacting in group settings. The whole follows a clear progression, from essential fundamentals to more elaborate approaches, in order to organize your practice without limiting exploration.
Throughout the pages, this method builds bridges between aesthetics and ways of hearing music. Jazz and today's improvised music engage in dialogue with classical, popular, contemporary, and extra-Western references to nourish the ear, memory, and sensitivity. This diversity of perspectives allows for greater precision (timing, articulation, construction) while preserving personal expression, spontaneity, and the joy of playing.
The reading remains flexible: you can follow the proposed order to build a complete progression, deepen a specific theme (rhythm, harmony, narrative), or "pick and choose" work paths according to your current needs. The goal is to support your musical development, stimulate imagination, and bring forth this "inner dance" that gives depth to any improvisation. A valuable resource to structure your practice, renew your ideas, and enrich your vocabulary, both solo and in an ensemble.

The bible. Fascinating and limpid (just like “Des Mots aux Sounds” by the same author at the same editions).
