However the many and variegated techniques developed by great jazz improvisers during the last century and presented here would be of considerable even equal use to persons engaged in other styles of improvisation such as rock blue grass dixieland commercial dance or church music. Perhaps someday there will be specific improvisation methods for these styles but for the present jazz music leads all other styles in the development of methods for learning to improvise.
