I have started to create a new course for you all. It will be available on all paid plans once finished. A sample is in the Classroom and I wanted your feedback on how it seems so far. The plan is to have the chapters laid out as they but with video example attached too. Each different enclosure and approach note will have an explanation page with some playable examples and some lines built with the enclosures, followed by a set of exercises (in PDF form) that I've designed to help you drill them into your playing (plus some other ideas injected in there too). Its a little like my book "Enclosure Studies For Jazz Violin" but laid out a little more like I wanted and with more of an emphasis on the long exercises I like to use to practise them. (I had to change my book a lot to go with the format that the publishing company generally worked with) Please go check it out in the Classroom and either comment on here or message me directly with your thoughts.

Hi all, Thanks for joining me in here. Here are your first steps for getting the most out of this community. 1. Copy this format and comment on this post with -your name -where you are from -your musical background and what you are trying to achieve in your playing 2. Create a post, either sharing a cool jazz violin video that you love, a question about learning to play jazz or even an interesting piece of advice you have been given about learning to improvise. 3. Doing all of the above will now mean you are a Level 2 member. You will now have access to all of the free courses in the classroom. (5 simple licks in G, Jazz Bowing, learn Honeysuckle Rose, Jazz Listening List) Bonus: Tell me in the poll below what it is you are interested in improving in your playing (this helps me understand how to help you best)
