The lesson described in this chapter is useful for all ages. Based on grooves the teacher prepares beforehand, students improvise on the initial groove by adding their own themes when cued by the instructor. Pathways to engaging musical improvisation are essential to music teachers who value encouraging the musical creativity of their students. A Maschine Jam device, used in conjunction with a number of different nonlinear composition software platforms, allows for the use of a wealth of creativity-igniting timbres and grooves. In the hands of artist-teachers, Maschine Jam provides an invaluable starting place for time-misplacing, mind-transforming, and life-reinvigorating improvisation.
