Improvise for Real is now being used by both students and teachers in more than 20 countries. The method has been described as a totally different way to learn about music and improvisation. But what makes it so different?
In this free video lesson, I show you how you can learn to understand music by ear and to play the sounds you imagine using the "Sound, Map and Instrument" technique from Improvise for Real.

I'm currently practicing the IFR exercise Seven Worlds and I'm not sure how much time I should spend in each harmonic environment before advancing to the next. Is there any guideline?
An IFR student asks how much he needs to practice to be successful with the IFR method.
For IFR students practicing Exercise 2: Melody, this is a demonstration of the exercise Seven Worlds in the sixth harmonic environment. Miguel 'Pintxo' Villar explores the harmonic environment on tenor sax.
The IFR Jump Start Program is a 12 week online course that includes video lessons, homework assignments, live sessions and personal feedback and coaching. It's designed to give you the best possible start in the IFR method.
Even with just a few minutes per day you can still have a deep and meaningful connection with music. Your pleasure and satisfaction aren't necessarily about "how long you practice" but about how completely you allow yourself to get lost in the experience.
Would you like to learn the IFR method directly from one of our instructors? The combination of the IFR methodology with an experienced coach can be life-changing.
