LEARNING JAZZ STANDARDS DISCOVER MOREIMPROVISING JAZZ SOLOS DISCOVER MORELEARNING JAZZ THEORY DISCOVER MORE"For someone who took up playing an instrument at age 60, I think I have achieved more than I could have expected in music and jazz specifically. And really, I owe most of that to Learn Jazz Standards and the Inner Circle." HAROLD FROM SYDNEY, FLUTE TELL ME IF YOU CAN RELATE TO THE FOLLOWING? You’ve spent countless hours practicing, jumping around YouTube and blogs, but feel aimless and like you aren’t improving quickly enough without a step-by-step plan. You’ve felt overwhelmed by learning jazz standards, unsure of how to efficiently learn them, and unsure of how to start improvising over them as well as you want to. You’ve felt left behind with all of the complex jazz theory. Most teachers assume you know music theory jargon, leaving you feeling embarrassed to ask questions. Your jazz education is a lonely journey. You wish you had other like-minded musicians to learn from, get motivation, and share accountability. THE GOOD NEWS IS YOU’RE NOT ALONE Thousands of musicians have come to us for help with these exact same struggles and are now playing jazz better than ever. Just like them you can: Learn the most important things to practice and how, instead of wasting years of aimless practice time working on the wrong things. Figure out how to learn and practice jazz standards the right way, instead of instead of getting stuck and confused with improvising. Get plugged in with mentors and a community of other like-minded musicians, instead of feeling isolated with nowhere to go for help.

JOIN THE INNER CIRCLE HERE’S WHAT OUR AMAZING STUDENTS SAY Before joining The Inner Circle, I didn’t know how to even begin to play jazz solos. Once I joined the Inner Circle, it gave me a starting place. It gave me little baby steps that I could start taking toward this huge goal, and I am feeling so much more confident now. I have a plan, and it’s really giving me the opportunity to have more freedom in my playing. I highly recommend The Inner Circle to anybody who is stuck and wants to get unstuck in their jazz solos!” Ashley from Louisiana, Vocals/Ukulele Since joining the Inner Circle, I have received amazing instruction that has helped me in my practice routines and overall playing! What I like is that it is not only for one specific instrument, but helps one’s overall musicianship and confidence in playing jazz with other musicians. I personally feel that it far exceeds other jazz courses and memberships out there. Highly recommend!” Ronald from the USA, Saxophone Before I joined the Inner Circle, I had tried a lot of things for playing jazz. But it really wasn’t until I joined the Inner Circle that things started clicking! I am radically improved even in one year of being in the Inner Circle. It’s a great value as well. Literally for only the price of half of a lesson, you get all the material you could ever imagine. I highly recommend it and thumbs up!
