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)

Hi all, I just wanted to give a quick explainer for people on the paid tiers about what you now have access to and how to make the most of it. 🎻 PREMIUM MEMBERS You have access to all of my monthly and weekly etudes available HERE. This is all of the material we work on in the live sessions, with transcriptions and short video examples. Check the HOW TO USE section in there for a more detailed rundown, but in essence this is a place you can go when you’re practising to pick out interesting ideas and work on your melodic playing. You also have access to my Jazz Violin Starter Pack and the 10 Tunes You Must Know course in the classroom. These are both extremely detailed and filled with video lessons. 🎻 VIP MEMBERS You have access to everything above PLUS: 📅 Weekly Live Sessions Each week we go through the material together live at 6pm UK time. You can find the link to join in the Calendar section. 🎶 Monthly Transcription Club This is a monthly space to perform and chat about a transcription you are working on with the group. We did our first one this week and it was great. If you don’t want to perform you are very welcome to come along, share a recording you’ve been listening to, or just listen in. ❓ Live Q&A Sessions For all members (free and paid) I also run regular live Q&A sessions where I prioritise questions from Premium and VIP members.

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
