What You’ll Learn

This camp is designed to give you the tools to hear jazz on a deeper level. Whether you’re a musician or a curious listener, learning how to listen transforms the experience.

You’ll discover:

• How to hear and understand the roles of different instruments in a jazz group
• How form and structure shape a tune — and how to follow along
• How to listen for improvisation, interaction, and the unique voice of each player
• The defining characteristics of jazz genres and styles (blues, bebop, bossa, hard bop, modal, fusion, smooth jazz, and more)
• Why artists like Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Pat Metheny shaped not just jazz, but music itself

This course is equally valuable for players who want to deepen their musicianship and non-musicians who want to connect with jazz on a more meaningful level.

What’s Included

• 3 Live Workshops (with replays)
• 10 Follow-Up Lessons (20–30 min each) breaking down jazz styles through guided listening
• PDF Guides for each workshop and lesson
• Reflection Questions to sharpen your listening skills
• Lifetime Access to all workshops, lessons, PDFs, and practice materials
• Ongoing Support and Feedback directly from me

You’ll have everything you need before the first workshop begins, so you can dive in fully prepared.
