What you will learn from Improvisation Savvy

GETTING CLEAR ABOUT YOUR CURRENT SKILL

The course will start out by helping assess your skills in a number of areas. As I say in the first video lesson, you must know where you are starting from in order to get where you want to go.

DEMYSTIFYING BASIC MUSIC THEORY

Even though this course is based on listening and developing your ear, a certain amount of basic theory will speed up your learning about improvisation.

HOW TO TRULY HEAR THE MUSIC

The core of the course will help you connect your musical mind to your instrument in ways you've never experienced. Won't it be nice not to have to rely on your eyes to play jazz?!

SHARPEN YOUR TIME AND RHYTHM

Your sense of time is crucial to playing jazz. Engage in some fun yet powerful exercises to strengthen your sense of time so that you swing and shape your musical personality that will be unique to your sense of rhythm.

TIPS, TOOLS, AND TACTICS YOU'VE NEVER BEFORE BEEN SHOWN

Learn about the most important parts of your solo, how to transcribe, how not to sabotage yourself psychologically, and other necessary aspects of playing better that you have never been taught.

HOW TO PRACTICE EFFECTIVELY

Most musicians do not know how to practice effectively. the final module of Improvisation savvy will give you important tips on getting the most from your practice time.
