It is my belief that having exceptional relative pitch is essential to being a good musician/improvisor.
Understanding how chords and scales relate to one another in a simple, elegant way can improve your playing by leaps and bounds, taking what you already know and learning how to use it in different, creative ways.
Paying a little attention to technique can go a long way to improving your time, feel and ability to express yourself.
Most importantly, the intense focus of a master improviser requires a mentality devoid of insecurity and negativity. Whether you are a hobbyist or professional, understanding music to a greater degree can positively affect many aspects of your life as well as making you a better musician.
There are a few different plans available from one time/"as you go" options to 4 or 10 lesson packages.

I look forward to hearing from you about setting up some Skype lessons.
Happy practicing!
