Advanced students should expect expoundment upon all skills previously learned. At this point, we will be focusing on learning different challenging pieces and techniques that will require a higher level of practice. These techniques include harmonics, chords, progressions, transcriptions, bebop line creation, advanced walking progression, and much more.

Intermediate students should expect a higher degree of intensity in lessons as we delve into more advanced techniques such as faster pieces, double stops, extended range pieces, and much more. We will start looking at footage of greats such as Edgar Meyer, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, Ray Brown, Paul Chambers and more to start to the path to imitation and ultimately, to develop your own sound.
