How Chop-Monster Works

Chop-Monster Book 2 is designed to help trumpet students learn to improvise by listening to and imitating jazz ideas. The ‘call-and-response’ approach is simple yet effective: students listen to a jazz idea, imitate it until it is internalized, and then ‘try it on their own.’ This process helps students develop their ears and build confidence in their improvisational abilities.

What’s Covered in Chop-Monster Book 2

In Chop-Monster Book 2, students will learn to improvise over the ii-V-I progression in three keys: concert B-flat, E-flat, and F. This progression is a fundamental part of jazz music and is used in countless jazz standards.

The Importance of Ear Training
