This course is a compilation of four master classes that I gave during the month of November 2017 to students from all over the globe in the form of a Webinar Series.
During these four weeks we used the Cole Porter song
"I Love You " in order to understand what is my process for efficiently learning a standard and preparing oneself to improvise over it.
The four classes and all the written material of that four week program is now available for purchase here.
Each class is one hour long and comes with a course package - so a total of four hours of classes and 38 pages of Pdf's that illustrate the lessons.
The whole curriculum is now available for only 85 $
