In this six-week course we'll explore the fundamentals of melody and harmony for both soloists and accompanists, the diatonic basics as well as the more exotic non-diatonic elements beyond, to expand the improviser’s ability to freely converse using the language and slang of music. A better understanding of these fundamentals and plenty of practice time are essential for developing the ability to make the sounds you want to hear in real time.

Train your brain, improve your improv!
