201 Explorations

This ONLINE ZOOM class is about building on the basics presented in 101 and moving into more intermediate territory. To go along with each day’s topics, we’ll walk through one cool arrangement making use of the same new ideas. It’s important to me we give these ideas legs. It’s not enough to study this stuff; we need to make it all musically practical.

All sessions are recorded for review and catching up. These videos will be available for 30 days after the last session.
