Learn to practise and play like a jazz violinist
Everything taught by ear, with live classes, courses and a community of 900 violinists. With London jazz violinist Matt Holborn.
Why people learn with me
Everything by ear
You learn tunes and ideas the way jazz players always have, by listening and playing them back.
Small steps that add up
Short, clear things to practise, so you always know what to do next.
Live, every week
Classes on Zoom every week, with recordings and written material if you can't make it.
People in your corner
A friendly group of violinists working on the same things, sharing practise and helping each other out.
“I've tried a few beginners jazz courses and they were always way over my head, but this one is different.”
“Being a member of this community has really given my jazz violin journey direction.”
