In this video I illustrate the concept ‘Sound, Map and Instrument’ from my book Improvise for Real. This principle guides our practicing and ensures that as our musical knowledge grows, our ear doesn’t get left behind.
IFR video lesson: Sound, Map and Instrument
"The IFR method is explained so clearly—it's logical, easy to understand, and taught in such a stimulating environment with great teachers and beautiful backing tracks to improvise with."
"You can take the smallest bite out of this method and gain the nourishment to feed your musical quest for weeks at a time."
"I was a frustrated sheet-music-playing piano student before IFR. Now, the world of music has opened up to me."
“IFR has become my favorite method and the one I practice most. I recommend it enormously to all musicians who want to take their improvising farther.”
"Through my studies with IFR I feel like I am finally starting to find my own musical voice."
