To help you build a strong, lasting, and deep connection with the harmony, each cycle in the course is named and associated with well-known jazz standards or coreprogressions wherever possible — for example:
Descending ii–V pairs, Modal Interchange, Stella by Starlight, Invitation, All the Things You Are, Autumn Leaves, and Fly Me to the Moon.
The twelve progressions comes with a full set of creative study materials to make your learning hands on, dynamic and effective. Every Cycle includes its own 🎥 video tutorial with clear, step-by-step harmonic explanations, complete with audio demos and explainer visuals. The 📄 PDF “Master” Study Book lets you study and practice each lesson deeply at your own pace, while the 🎹 MP3 tracks allow you to really feel the unique sound of each cycle through listening and playing along with the harmony.
To embed the Cycles and to provide hands on practices material to get really stuck in to, there are two kinds of written exercises — "Tutorial" studies to use with the backing tracks, and "Standalone exercises" for solo practice. These melodic lines trace and describe the harmony itself, helping you absorb the cycles deeply into your ears + fingers.
