THE ENCLOSURE: A Practical Guide to Improvisation

Also known as 'inclosure', 'encirclement', 'surrounding tones', 'neighbour group', or 'rotation', 'changing tones' depending on the whose theory book you're reading!

Discussed are 4 types of Enclosure:

1 Wide
2 Standard
3 Double Chromatic
4 Those that contain Passing Notes

The enclosure is a characteristic feature of blues and jazz and especially bebop. An understanding of how to employ enclosures will prove an useful aid to improvisation.

Here are some reasons for getting to know enclosures:
  • It's a handy device for breaking up an ascending or descending line
  • It's great for joining chords
  • Adds chromaticism
  • Adds tension by delaying the arrival of a chord tone

Hi Harold,

thanks for your ebook. It is exactly what I was looking for. With your smart advices, I have now some chances to finally play some enclosures. I am a beginner-intermediate player and you are the only educator I have found online who has been able to suggest effective and actionable methods to make enclosures a little easier to remember and to play.

Thanks again.  Now I am really curious to read also the other books.
ciao
Giovanni
