Invitation to participate in my study of improvisation in Jazz.

Hi everybody, I hope it's ok to reach out to the group for some help with this.

There's always so much brilliant advice whenever someone posts a question about music theory that I hoped some of those with a predilection towards Jazz wouldn't mind answering a few questions on how they learned to play and improvise.

I am a 4th year Applied Music student at the University of Highlands and Islands. As part of my final project I have chosen to research improvisation within Jazz.

I have created this short survey to gather data on playing and learning experience and I would really appreciate any responses received as they will help me greatly in completing my research goal.

I started it but realised I am quite the opposite of the target group, I hope any Jazz enthusiasts do fill it out tho.

Hiya. I've filled it out... but knowing what you're trying to understand or actual question you're trying to answer might make it a bit easier. 'How did you learn to improvise' is so broad and not necessarily how I'd answer the question 'how should you learn' if that's what you're trying to get to the bottom of.

Thanks so much for everyone's participation so far, there's been a wide range of responses and thoughts shared. It's going to make for some interesting data analysis!
