Jazz Improv Jump-Starter helps you transform your solos and command the stage with the exact techniques the pros use!
Every jazz musician hits the same wall at some point. You learn some scales, maybe you can play the changes, and you’ve memorized some solos from the greats. Yet, when it comes time to step into the spotlight, your mind freezes, and your solos sound rehearsed, not revolutionary. You struggle to make your improvisations flow naturally, and playing outside the changes feels like navigating a maze blindfolded.
You’re not alone. Many musicians find themselves stuck in a loop of repetitive patterns and uninspiring licks, feeling miles away from the jaw-dropping solos that inspired them to pick up an instrument in the first place.
These are not just personal frustrations; they are barriers to your evolution as a jazz musician. But what if you could overcome them? What if you could not only play notes but tell your unique story through every solo?
The truth is anyone, including yourself, can play breathtaking solos when they have access to the right strategies and techniques that the best jazz musicians in the world use. All you need to do is put them into action. And today you can gain access to these game-changing strategies for yourself.
Jazz Improv Jump-Starter is a digital jazz workshop featuring powerful jazz improv masterclasses that will revolutionize your solos and reveal game-changing strategies utilized by pro jazz musicians. You’ll leave feeling confident in how to upgrade your solos, and equipped with all of the resources to help you do it.
You learn scales you can play over chords in jazz standards and now you’ve learned some notes that will always sound good when you improvise. But then your solos sound like you’re just running scales and not like the jazz heroes you admire. This masterclass will teach you simple and effective strategies for transforming those scales into melodic solos.
Have a pro jazz musician solo without accompaniment and you will still be able to identify the song they are playing. That’s because they can perfectly outline the chord changes in their lines to make the chords pop out. This masterclass will teach you simple and effective strategies for playing chord changes in a way that sounds musical and melodic.
Even if you play all of the “right notes” or know a lot of hip sounding lines, if your rhythm is off it won’t sound very good. On top of that, rhythm is a powerful tool that turns simple ideas into massive musical statements. This masterclass will teach you how to harness the power of rhythm to make you sound like a jazz genius.
Great jazz improvisers don’t rely on knowing tons of licks or scales that they can copy and paste into their solos. They are able to create amazing melodies with relative ease spontaneously. How do you do that as well? In this masterclass, you’ll learn powerful strategies for transforming melodies into many ideas you can improvise and feel proud of.
Ever wonder what makes pro jazz musicians’ solos sound so hip? The answer is playing “outside” of the changes. They can play “wrong notes” and make them sound insanely good! So, how can you do this as well? In this masterclass, you’ll learn strategies for playing outside, starting with playing completely inside, to playing mind-melting outside solos.
You’ve probably heard before that it’s a great idea to “transcribe” or learn solos by ear from the great jazz musicians. But you’ve likely been disappointed to have put in all of that work only to find those new ideas not coming out naturally in your solos. This masterclass will teach you effective strategies for bridging that gap between learning solos and improvising them.
When just getting started out with jazz improvisation, it can feel overwhelming. It can feel as if there is so much advice floating around out there that it’s hard to piece together where to start. But the secret to starting to improvise jazz solos is to start simple and focus on the basics. In this masterclass, you’ll learn the basics and essentials of jazz improvisation.
