This Jazz Piano Tutorial is about Mistake Recovery Strategies. Mistakes are inevitable, but the audience noticing you made a mistake is avoidable. Whenever you make a mistake, it's better to play through it rather than stop and announce to your listener that you made a mistake. There are a number of simple mistake recovery strategies that you can employ to hide the fact that you just made a mistake. These are:
- Repeat the phrase & emphasise the mistake
- Repeat the phrase & correct the mistake to a ‘right note’
- Turn the mistake into a chromatic run and resolve it
- Turn the mistake into a cycled pattern and resolve it
- Continue playing wrong notes & eventually resolve it (and call it atonal/polytonal)
