Improvisation

What is improvisation? 

Improvisation is a writing style that means you don't think you just do. When writing music I find its so much easier when you free your mind by not thinking about it and just writing down whatever pops into your head. 

For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbL9vr4Q2LU

In this Video of Ella Fitzgerald she is on stage Scat singing. She has a very jazzy and bluesy feel to her voice and uses different tones and pitches. She uses musicality to listening out for the rhythm and when the start of each beat starts so it prompts her to start Scatting. Although all this is going on she doesn't know what kind of a sound she will hear which makes this totally improvised.
