"Priceless. And addictive"

Being a quasi beginner I was completely overwhelmed and confused by random YouTube Tutorials. It was only Julian’s course that taught me step by step counting intervals, building stacks of thirds to be the chords and now I gradually can hear how music is built. THIS is where the fun begins. Priceless. And addictive.

Excellent teaching, superbly delivered in 11 minutes, this video alone is worth the cost of the whole course!! I’ve just returned from an excellent Jazz Course that lasted a week. Both piano tutors used and explained the Shell Voicing technique, but in an 11 minute video you have explained this much more clearly than they did, and importantly demonstrated how to apply this to my playing.

Julian's 'Improvisation Step by Step' course has given me loads of confidence in improvising - in just a few short lessons it's been a huge step change for me. He is a great teacher, making everything look simple and easy. Like so many others, I started as a classical pianist, and for ages felt reticent departing from written music, thinking, 'what am I supposed to play, and why doesn't it sound any good?!' Now I am much more confident both in improvising over jazz standards, and even in making up music of my own. Thanks Julian!
