If you’re in this stage, then you already have a little bit of a foundation, but it might not be much, AND it might contain holes. But that’s OKAY! You’re going to find that you contain holes in your playing at any stage you fit into. In this stage we start to dig much more into jazz. You’ll learn your first tune, you’ll start improvising, you’ll start swinging and learning about progressions. Besides the fun stuff above, it is very important to gain a clear and in-depth understanding of jazz harmony as it will allow you to easily learn advanced theory and harmonic concepts in later stages. We also begin to explore very basic yet powerful improvisation methods that will make or break all of your improvisation in the future.
