How to Improvise
Harmony - Intervals
The best way to “hear” harmony is to start with intervals. Listen to each type of interval and improvise using intervals in parallel motion.

Intervals have qualities that make them immediately recognisable (with practice!): Unison – just one note Second – sounds nasty, notes are close together Third – sounds nice, notes are close together Fourth – sounds strong and bold, sounds unfinished (needs to resolve)...
