Overview

Many students who’ve never dialed in a disciplined practice routine wonder why they feel limited or stuck in their creative life. It is often through developing an organized and disciplined practice regimen that creativity can be unleashed. This creative unleashing is the main goal of any serious jazz musician. We will discuss what kinds of drills, rudiments and rituals make sense as musical, professional and personal goals change and evolve. Alan will share some rituals he learned from his teacher, the great Alan Dawson in addition to some of his own approaches. We will also discuss how you, the serious student, can go about developing and structuring your own set of routines.

Mondays 8:15 – 9:45 pm
