My beginners course has changed. I’ve renamed it from “Jazz Violin Starter Pack” to Jazz Violin Foundations.
Jazz Violin Foundations is designed to help you make a proper start in jazz by actually playing, listening and doing, not getting stuck in theory.
It’s my complete guide to getting from 0 to the point where you can start playing with other people. For the next week, it also still includes the 10 Tunes You Must Know course.
That’s the part where you take what you’ve learned and apply it to real tunes. Learning melodies properly, understanding the harmony, and getting comfortable playing through songs.
After that, I’ll be keeping the two separate, as I’ve spent a lot of time honing them into two distinct courses that work together but also stand on their own.
You’ll work on things like:
• training your ear so you can hear and play ideas naturally
• using the blues as a foundation for jazz language
• call and response to build phrasing
• simple theory that makes sense on the violin
• learning melodies by ear
• working through a full jazz standard step by step
• improvising with small, usable ideas
• groove and time feel
• starting to hear and use real jazz language
If you join now, you’ll also get the full 10 Tunes You Must Know course included. That’s the part that takes you from learning the basics to actually being ready to get out and start playing with other jazz musicians.
You can get hold of it in the classroom now while both courses are still included together.
