I have been a teacher for over 35 years and this is what you will learn with my Improvisation Method.

  • Blues/Jazz/Rock Improvisation Lessons on Saxophone, Guitar, Violin, Strings, Trumpet, Flute, Clarinet.

  • Online Video Lessons on Basics to Advanced Improvisation for all instruments.

  • How to Improvise Starting with the Blues- Rick has taught this method to over 150 music students and successful working musicians around the world. This book teaches you to learn the basics on how to improvise on Saxophone or any instrument using a Play-Along Track and step by step instruction that guarantees that you will learn how to improvise in just 3-6 months in any style of popular music.

If you are frustrated with your solo ability….. can’t find a teacher to break it down and take the mystery out of it… give me a call…. I have a proven method that breaks through all the usual barriers…. It’s based on a very simple formula of memorizing 6 approach notes. The 6 approach notes can be memorized in the very first lesson. In less than a month you will be improvising simple phrases and in 3 months you will be playing the blues like you never thought possible. It is so simple that at first you won’t believe it… I have heard many of my students say the same thing: “I’m not even thinking and it’s just coming out without even trying” ….. and that’s the real beauty of this method…. it takes all of the thinking out of your playing allows your ear to guide you fingers … That way you are able to play without overloading your brain with a lot of technical information. The method is not based on any tricks or short cuts. Instead it’s based on how the body naturally learns which is the same process that is going on in a great improviser is using when he’s playing his best. There is very little thinking going on which allows the body to let the music flow out naturally.

This is a fun method that gets you playing real music right from the start. Not a bunch of boring exercises and scales. I work with a slow blues track (provided with piano, bass and drums) that you can play along with and as early as the second lesson you are able to start improvising and making music with control. By the end of the book you will have learned enough to sound like a professional player in a hip bluesy jazz/rock style.
