Description

This introductory course will guide you through the essential concepts and basic chords used in jazz improvisation.

You'll discover what the different types of chords are and how they're used; what chord tones and scales are and why they exist; and you'll use these from the start in practical exercises that gradually increase in difficulty.

This all leads you to a final improvisation over a jazz standard.

You'll leave this course with a deeper understanding of jazz improvisation and a desire to continue exploring and developing your jazz playing further.

Who this course is for:

  • Musicians who want to try out a new skill or genre
  • Musicians who lack the confidence to improvise and play solos
  • Musicians interested in jazz
  • Musicians open to exploring new concepts
