-Do you feel like the secrets of WHAT and HOW to practice jazz improvisation are out of your reach?
-Do you want to really deepen your connection to the music you play?

Choose one or more of these 36 actionable practice ideas and make real progress with your musical abilities: improvisation and soloing, ear training, connecting harmony, and more.
