Syftet med detta arbete var att undersöka vad en erfaren improvisationsmusiker, Joakim Milder, anser vara betydelsefullt för att bli en god musiker och improvisatör. Resultaten kopplas till relevant litteratur och egna erfarenheter inom området. Arbetet grundas på en kvalitativ intervju med Joakim Milder och tar upp praktiska, mentala och andliga aspekter. Jag har kommit fram till att det handlar om att inte stå i vägen för musiken, det vill säga: målet är att uppnå en sådan nivå musikaliskt, teoretiskt, gehörsmässigt och mentalt, att man upplever total frihet att uttrycka sig konstnärligt på det sätt man önskar. En öppen, nyfiken attityd och ett intresse för improvisation underlättar lärandet.
