My Jazz Violin Practise Club is a place that you can get involved with my practise routine. I guide you through different concepts that I think can really help make any violin into a jazz violinist
Each weekly Practise Club consists of two sections.
Scales session
We start each session with 40mins of repetitive practise with my own scale exercises.
When we learn scales in our classical violin education, we often don't learn them in the same way as a jazz musician might. In these sessions we run scales and arpeggios in a way that starts to give us a deeper understanding of harmony plus how to utilise these scales for our improvisation. Because we are all practising these exercises together, we always get to the end of what we are practising, its a sort of practise accountability!
Jazz repertoire
Straight after the scales on the same days I run more specific improv workshops, these follow on nicely from the scale sessions. We look at different swing tunes, break them down simply and find different ways to practise our improvisation in a methodic and relaxed way. Looking at harmony, timing, rhythm, reharmonisation and groove.
As each session is recorded for you, if you have to miss anything you can always catch up!
By becoming a patron you will get access to one session a week, a recording of each session via a Dropbox link plus chord charts and notes for the music we work on. You will also be invited to a private FB group where you can ask questions and stay connected with the group.
