How Does Folk Music Help You Develop Jazz Skills?
Hi all,
There are two main streams into jazz violin: Classical and Folk.
I’ve spoken a bit about how you can use your classical mindset to excel in jazz, but I wanted to see if anyone wants to weigh in on what folk music can bring to the table in terms of transferable skills for jazz.
I find that learning folk music is extremely beneficial, as it’s often about learning tunes and focusing on style and small musical intricacies. The way I learn a folk melody is similar to how I approach a transcription, looking at the small details and trying to replicate them.
Anyone else have any thoughts?
