    Play From Your Inner Song: Improvisation Without Overthinking

    The JazzMind System Podcast with  Simon Peterman explores how to improvise from your inner song rather than by overanalyzing scales or licks. Simon explains that musical creation begins with melody and emotion: sing and imagine first, then apply those ideas to your instrument. Practicing this way builds expressive, confident live playing. Simple daily habits like humming while you cook, singing on walks, and translating melodies to your instrument are the keys to developing improvisational freedom and musical presence.
