  African-Americans invented jazz at the beginning of the 20th century, so jazz has many features① of African music.
  Improvisation② is one of its features. Improvisation means making something up as you go along. A jazz musician changes the words or tunes③ when he is playing. Different musicians, of course can play the same music differently. That is improvisation, and it makes jazz more fun to play and different from other music.
  Now lets try to have an improvisation ourselves with “Happy Birthday to You”. First, sing it as we all know.
  Happy birthday to you,
  Happy birthday to you,
  Happy birthday to my dear sister, Janet,
  Happy birthday to you.

  Happy birthday to you, beautiful, so beautiful you,
  Happy birthday to you, my so beautiful you,
  ...
