“The Visual Technique for Improvisation course has been huge. I’ve been working on that all year. It made me realize how much I wasn’t aware of while I’m playing. It unravelled a lot of fundamental issues I need to address!”
Matthew W., Virtual Studio member
Stay focused with monthly practice roadmaps
For those times when you just wish someone would tell you exactly what to practice, and for how long.
“I often find myself not sticking with one thing long enough for it to make an impact on my playing. These roadmaps held me accountable to practicing the same thing every day.”
Jeffrey Stevenson, Virtual Studio member
