10 Pieces of 10 is a book for all musicians who wish to expand their repertoire and knowledge with the art of improvisation. It contains 10 short pieces - in no particular order - which can be played on almost any instrument. Each piece is accompanied by 10 tips on how to improvise using the written notes. All that is required to use this book is the skill to play the compositions; you don’t need any prior knowledge or experience with improvisation. Naturally you also need the willingness to invest time in learning how to improvise. Please watch the videos in the playlist below in which musicians talk about their experiences using the book. 10 pieces of 10 has been reviewed by numerous magazines. Read a review here by John Cipolla for the International Clarinet Association, and here by Carla Rees for the British Flute Society magazine PAN.

10 pieces of 10 is published by Donemus Publishing House for Contemporary music, and is available in PDF or hard copy from their webshop in both treble- and bass clef editions, and in C, Bb and Eb versions. The book is free if you are a student at a conservatory or music university and have an email account from the school where you study. 

Just as any other musical skill, improvisation needs practice. The music and 100 tips in this book aim to make this practice both easy and fun, and ultimately help you to start hearing music beyond the written notes. Which is how all improvisation begins.
