How do you compose a Jazz Solo in Jazz Band?
I'm in middle school Jazz Band and I don't know how to compose a solo. I play keyboard and I heard there's something like a special scale that you look at depending on the piece then you take notes out of that. What is this? Help?
If you are in a middle school jazz band you probably should be soloing on a blues scale. If the song is in the key of C, then play a C blues scale: C Eb F F# G Bb C. If it's in a different key, transpose the blues scale (or ask your teacher what blues scale to play).
Blues scales will almost always sound good. Just play something that sounds good and then either repeat it or change it in some way. Also don't just play nonstop ideas, leave some space between the short snippets of the blues scale (as in a couple beats, or a even a couple measures) and you will sound a lot more sophisticated. Most importantly, ROCK OUT! people just want to see you play with energy and balls.
