Welcome to Jazz Improvisation Lessons Made Easy!

  • Improvising is EASY if you don’t overload yourself with too much information

  • Most Jazz educators tell you that you need to learn all your scales in every key before you can begin to improvise.

  • This system teaches you how to improvise by ear and it’s incredibly simple to learn!

  • I have a system that has been proven for 20 years! Just look at my student’s videos below!

  • Have you tried other teachers and found it all too overwhelming?

I have a proven method that breaks through all the common barriers and you won’t believe how simple it is. Just check out some of my students in the videos below to see the proof.

 

And here’s a basic demonstration by Rick of how the system can work to embellish a melody:

Over 16 years ago I developed my own method of teaching improvisation that changed everything for me.I was looking for a better way to teach my students so they could learn faster and so that I could teach them to improvise in order to make it more fun and creative so they could play with other musicians.

I came up with a method which turned out to be genius. It taught me that my students were being held back by the fact that I wasn’t teaching them to trust their ear. I was doing what most conventional teachers do which was to fill their heads with a lot of reading and learning scales and patterns, reading transcriptions and a lot of unnecessary information that made it impossible for them to make music with it.

Once I started to teach this new way I was able to literally teach a complete beginner to improvise in under 4 months. And I’m not talking about just playing the blues scale, I'm talking about teaching them to hit every chord change. 

If you’ve ever taken any lessons in improvisation and felt like you still had no idea of how to play without getting lost in the form and to play the changes then you will love what I do in my course. This way of learning is 10x’s as fast as the conventional method I was using and if that sounds too good to be true, just listen to some of my students in these videos. I STILL am amazed at how fast people can learn when you stop giving them scales and patterns and teach them to hear approach notes.

Just check out a few videos. You’ll see what seems impossible!
