Boost your confidence and find your authentic sound!
Are you overwhelmed by the task of
learning to improvise over Jazz standards?
Are you tired of learning endless scales and chords just to find you still can't improvise the way you want to?
Do you dream of bringing down the house at the local Jazz club, the coffee shop, your school, your church, your next corporate party, or the local concert hall?
I am passionate about helping serious players with 2 or more years of experience become master improvisers by learning the way all the best players learn...
by improvising alongside more experienced players while learning and analyzing Jazz standards in real time.
Jazz is a language, and it takes more than information to learn its nuances. You need to be able to imitate someone else's playing in real time to become truly fluent.
Enough endless preparation through etudes, method books, backing tracks, and learning patterns. The best way to learn is to jump in and start playing with a pro to guide you...one tune at a time.
Not only will you become a master improviser, but you will also begin building a repertoire of the best-known standards, preparing you for any stage!
