Get Soloing Better Than You Ever Imagined

Educator resources

Adult musicians, if you are a jazz lover who does/did something else for a living, this webinar is for you. Too much jazz education and support is for middle school and high school kids, or for grad students at big music schools. Forget the kids . . . today we are talking to you!

 

In this webinar, jazz education guru Jeff Antoniuk is going to walk us through an improvisation session for all instruments, and for all ability levels. Jeff advocates a non-scale approach to soloing, so you can leave the deep and scary jazz theory at the door. If you know a couple triads, you’ll be in good shape.

 

This webinar includes free pdf’s to follow along with Jeff, links to his Digging Deeper Jazz videos for more information on the webinar topics, and an exclusive look inside the www.JazzWire.net platform, used by hundreds of adult musicians from over 25 countries. The support doesn’t end when the webinar is over!

 

JEN Members will also receive a new membership benefit from JazzWire.net!
