Welcome to Seasons of Soloing! Each month we’ll explore a new song for ear training and improvisation. Buckle up and dive in!
Soloing is closely tied to ear training. Usually, when improvising, you’ll imagine something in your mind’s ear and then attempt to play it. The more you hone your ear, the easier it will be to execute your improv phrases on the fly.
For this reason, I have decided to tie these two topics together in Seasons of Soloing. By exploring each song from both angles, you’ll get the most out of your efforts and be able to improve at a faster pace.
Start with the intro packet so you understand the fundamentals and are prepared for each season’s material.
