Chop-Monster, Bk 1: Teacher's Score, Comb Bound Score & CD [With CD (Audio)] (Teacher's Guide)Paperback - Teacher's Guide, 1 August 2002

Chop-Monster is a sequential jazz improvisation method by acclaimed jazz pianist and educator Shelly Berg that utilizes a call-and-response approach: students listen to a jazz idea, imitate it until it is internalized, and then try it on their own. In Chop-Monster 1, students will hear and improvise to the Ima7, iimi7, and V7 chords in the key of B-flat, plus a basic blues progression. In Chop-Monster 2 students will hear and improvise to the ii-V-I progression in three keys (concert B-flat, E-flat, and F). The comb binding creates a lay-flat book that is perfect for study and performance.
