It’s your first day! Congrats for taking the challenge. Comment “day 1” on this post so we can cheer you on and get cracking in the course in the classroom! In our first video lesson in the course we are looking at learning the melody to Lady Be Good by ear and committing it to memory, using it to bounce off of with some improv. Use this thread to ask any question or post your progress video when you have practised the steps in the video. Happy practising

This is your daily practise check in. Either: 1. Tell us what you practised in the comments 2. Post a video or audio recording of what you're working on 3. Ask a question about something you came up against in your practise Or if you just want to let us know you showed up, comment "HERE". Today's question: First one! Whats you main goal at the moment?

I'm trying something out. You might remember the single practice thread we've used in the past. Instead, there'll now be a new practice check-in post each day of the week, where you can let us know what you're up to. Just drop a comment with what you're working on today. It can be a sentence, a quick video, or even just a 🎻 to say you showed up. I'll be reading them all and cheering you on. Let's see how many days in a row we can keep it going! Let's start today! Il show you how in the comments. Matt.

How to use this community 1. INTRODUCE YOURSELF Copy this format and comment below: - your name - where you're from - your musical background - what you're trying to achieve in your playing 2. START LEARNING If you are new to jazz, take my "5 Days To Improv" challenge. Its a free course that helps you make your first steps into jazz improv. Learning the ropes and delving into how a jazz musician thinks, practises and plays. If you really want to progress, you can get hold of the larger paid courses in there too "Jazz Violin Fundamentals", "10 Tunes You Must Know", "46 Lines", "Mastering Chromatics" 3. KEEP A PRACTISE DIARY Head over to the pinned Practise Diaries thread and drop your first check-in. It could be something from a 1-1, something from Practice Club, or just whatever you're working on that day. It's the easiest way to keep showing up in here, and every like you get on a check-in is a point towards levelling up and unlocking more of the material. BONUS There's a poll below this post. Let me know what you're most interested in improving in your playing, it helps me shape the material in here
