In this book, Joel Futterman shares some of his insight to being yourself. There are no magical scales just magical people and Joel Futterman is one of them." William Parker, Musician, Composer and Author "How does an improvising musician move in the moment from structural knowledge to meaningful expression that is coherent and perhaps inspiring? In this book, Joel Futterman, one of our great spontaneous composers, offers a welcome guide. It combines exercises in scales and chord fundamentals with insights about harnessing intention and entering new territory." Stefan Dasho, Educator, Musician and Composer "A treasure trove of tonal, harmonic, and rhythmic forms to inspire composers and improvisers alike. "Woodshedding" these patterns and getting them into your ears and under your fingers provides valuable tools for strengthening instrumental technique, expanding one's repertoire of creative ideas, and will likely lead to discovery of additional musical connections and resolutions." Ike Levin, Ph. D. Psychology and Musician CREATIVE PATTERNS is 8 1/2" x 11" with 30 pages of musical notation.
