De: JP Bouvet

Narrado por: JP Bouvet

Can creativity be learned? Can you teach someone improvisation? Or is it an innate gift for “creative people?” In this one-of-a-kind book, renowned drummer and teacher, JP Bouvet, takes you on a tour through psychology, educational theory, and, of course, specific approaches to learning the drums, to reveal how improvisation is much easier to learn than most people think. You’ll learn how to leverage the natural tendencies of your mind to systematically learn what most drummers think can’t be learned…effortless improvisational freedom. This book is for every drummer who wishes they were more creative on their instrument. JP Bouvet is a drummer and teacher, and runs the educational website, JPBouvetMethod.com, where he specializes in creating courses that teach improvisation with step-by-step methods. He studied music at Berklee College of Music and psychology at Columbia University. In 2011, he won the two largest drum contests in the world in the same year, and went on to tour the world with artists like Steve Vai, Periphery, and others. He has since taught drums in 34 countries, and thousands of students continue to find creative freedom from his online courses.
