Analyse to Improvise

online: Analyse to Improvise

A practical 10-week online course for instrumentalists to analyse jazz standards and improvise on them.

This course is aimed at those who wish to develop their music analysis skills and improvisation techniques. Each week the tutor will take a jazz standard and a section of a solo transcription, discuss and analyse its structure and harmonic progression, looking at ways in which you can turn this into your own playing.

The course will be run via Zoom with all participants muted, allowing them to play along with the tutor. Participants will also be able to unmute at appropriate times to ask questions to help with their development.

Mondays: 19:30 – 21:00 online via Zoom
Spring Term starts Monday 11 January
Half Term break: Monday 15 February
Finishes Monday 22 March
