1. INTRODUCE YOURSELF Copy this format and comment below: • your name • where you’re from • your musical background • what you’re trying to achieve in your playing 2. MAKE YOUR FIRST POST This could be: • a jazz violin video you like • a question about learning jazz • or something you’ve found helpful to practice 3. START LEARNING Head to the classroom. There are a number of free courses in there for you to start learning. Whatever your level, I can guarantee there will be something new in there for you. Improv, Bowing, Learning Tunes, Chromatics, a listening list (for members who have posted enough to get to level 2) If you really want to progress, you can get hold of the larger paid courses in there too “Jazz Violin Fundamentals”, “10 Tunes You Must Know”, “46 Lines”, “Mastering Chromatics” BONUS There’s a poll below this post. Let me know what you’re most interested in improving in your playing, it helps me shape the material in here

I’m making a video for YouTube at the moment about more relatively unknown jazz violinists (in the grand scheme of things). I came across this guy Joe Kennedy a while ago and was blown away. Heard his name from time to time and heard him on the Ahmed Jamal record “Listen To The Ahmed Jamal Quintet” Check this recording of him as bandleader. I love his playing, nice tone but a real deep understanding of jazz too.

Made this video for YT. Have I missed anyone out?

Just interested to know what pickup you used on your fiddle for the Bill Bailey gig?

I thoroughly enjoyed your playing, and of course Bill Bailey!, on Thoughtifier as part of the Channel 4 series 🙂
