Last week’s seminar introduced my new “Jazz Improv Jumpstart” course which will be ready soon. It’s currently being edited and should be ready later this week.
The seminar below is a nice introduction to the course contents. We explore the use of enclosures and approach patterns to add structure to our improvised solos.
I have added the blue highlights, notation, and chapters to make the seminar contents easier to review, check it out here:
I have just published the first draft of my new improvisation course here:
I still need to add the chapters, downloads, and fine tune some of the content on the pages, but all of the videos are in place.
The video notation and editing took longer than expected - but I’m very happy with how the course has come together.
There are currently 8 lessons which are around 20 minutes each.
I’m starting work on the next batch of lessons which will dive deeper into other improvisation tools such as diminished scales and patterns, blues scales, alternate left hand voicings, locked hands techniques, triad-based improvisation, and more.
If you have any questions with the material please post them here or in the lesson page comments.
More updates to follow, and enjoy the lessons!
Cheers,
Hayden
P.S. I had originally planned to call this course “Jazz Improv Jumpstart” but it turned out to be much more in-depth than I had planned. Instead I have decided to call the course “Autumn Leaves Improv Masterclass” and it will contain more lessons which I’m currently mapping out. When I get around to it I will re-record the lesson introductions where I mention “Jazz Improv Jumpstart” to avoid any confusion
