This 5 week intensive course has really opened my eyes to how far you can develop your improvisation and the processes that come with it. WIsh I had come across this years ago!

It was awesome. I was exited to begin with but the 10 scales taught and scale choice really helped me out. Highly recommended.

Gary clearly presents the idea of jazz improvisation. The assignment is challenge but well set to push the limit of learners.

it was a good review of scales and target notes, otherwise it is a basic but foundational course for the beginners.
