This group is not just about me teaching what I've learned... It's about us sharing what we've learned and supporting each other! Let's start a trend of teaching each other. What's something that you learned in your life, maybe even outside of music, that is helpful to your improv journey? Next, go share your unique voice in the INTROS CONTEST (and get a chance to win a private duet session with me!) and vote on your favorite!

Q. How many min a day do you have to practice? My Prescription for beginning to improve your improvising in 3-10 min a day: 🎤 Minute 1: Record yourself playing "Anyway Up" & "Anyway Down" by choosing a scale and improvising your way up & down the scale! This should only take about 30 sec. 🎧Then listen to your recording!🎧 Write: ✅ 1) One Thing You Liked! ⭕2) One Thing You'd like to improve... 🎵 Minute 2: Turn on a drone and record a "KISS" (stupidly simple) 30 sec free improv.🎧Listen to your recording!🎧 Write: ✅ 1) One Thing You Liked! ⭕ 2) One Thing You'd like to improve... 🎶 Minute 3: Record a 30-sec improv with the I-V chord progression backing track. 🎧& Listen!🎧 Write: ✅ 1) One Thing You Liked! ⭕ 2) One Thing You'd like to improve... The only ways to fail at this are to fail to write down what you liked and to fail to start! Post your recordings for support! This is for solidarity, not critique (unless you want it!). You're not alone!

To approach full proficiency with your scales, play all of your scales starting & ending on every note of your instrument. Same with the chromatic scale! It’s more fun if you do it with a song in the same key! Have you tried the TRANSPOSE extension for turning YouTube songs to any key? The Music Speed Changer works great too for audio files! The Music Speed Changer is great for any audio files you have downloaded. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND practicing along with THIS TANPURA DRONE TRACK and ALL OF THE CHORD PROGRESSIONS IN THIS BACKING TRACK FOLDER in **ALL KEYS** after you've mastered playing them in C!!
