Made this video for YT. Have I missed anyone out?

thanks to @Valeria Fabbri @Martha Little @Valerie Selander and @Michael Cormican for sharing your transcriptions today! Really inspiring to see how much work everyone is putting in! Everyone was sounding great! Il be putting the recordings of the sessions in the classroom tomorrow! Drop a link to the original recordings of the solos you played in the comments if you have them!

I put this etude together for myself actually but I thought we could use some of it, amongst other things, for the Practise Club this month. It's basically a collection of ideas that I like to play on a blues in F. @Viktor Houf already won the challenge on this to record a version of it himself and post it! Through the next month we will also be looking at some other ideas and short etudes I piece together over the Blues form in a number of different keys. Transcriptions, exercises, all the etudes past and present available for Premium members Access to my weekly class looking at all of the above available to VIP members Get involved here https://www.skool.com/jazzviolin/plans

Hi all, I was chatting with another musician recently about AI and attention spans, and whether people are actually going to stay interested in music that takes a bit of concentration, like jazz. There’s this idea that people don’t really have the patience anymore to sit through a gig, or even to learn how to play it properly. But I had a bit of a different experience the other night. I was at a local gig I’ve been putting on for a while and it was a real mix of people. Some clearly just trying it out, others who already love jazz. And people were properly listening. You could see that curiosity, almost like they couldn’t quite believe this kind of music even exisits in the way it does. It was three musicians in their 20s, trio with no drums, playing quite deep material. Monk, Tadd Dameron, things even a lot of jazz musicians don’t really know. They were completely in their element, playing quite hard music, listening to each other and really going in on the improvising. At one point a singer got up, and later a bassist from the audience joined in aswell. From the audience side you felt quite close to it. It felt like a real glimpse into what this music actually is. Community, dedication, and things happening in the moment. It made me think this is something AI just can’t really touch. That doesn’t mean it won’t affect things, but being in a room like that, hearing people take risks and react to each other… it’s just different. Also made me think how niche this all is. Jazz is already quite small, and jazz violin even more so. No one is asking us to do this. We’re doing it because we’ve found something in it. Kind of bonkers really, but I think it’s a good example of what makes us human. Would be interested to hear if anyone else has had similar experinces recently

Hey there all you VIP members. Looking to book in our next transcription Lab next month. Let’s get it in the diary asap so people have time to get something down. These are a few dates and times I could do. (Remember if you are interested in joining and sharing or listening to others share a transcription/ solo that they have learned from another musician you can do so by joining the VIP tier.
