jazz improvisation
This is a very important opportunity to get into jazz improvisation, and if you are alredy playing some jazz music, this course have very nice tools for improvisation such as scales, harmony and "theme and variations" melodies that you can applay to any musical instrument.
Superb for those who begin to want to develop and/or improve their jazz improvisation level.
Excellent introduction to Jazz Improvisation.
It was a great course for those who know a lot about music and want to start in jazz improvisation.
The assignments are so well created that this provides wonderful guiding to the jazz improvisation.
me ayudo mucho a entender lo que parecia complicado Excellent start in Jazz improvisation.
Perhaps too advance for a novice but for an average intermediate musician, it is a great intro to Jazz Improvisation.
Gary clearly presents the idea of jazz improvisation.
After completing this course, and some personal work, one can hope to at least understand the language of jazz improvisation and become a far better listener, if not an improviser.
Take it if you want to learn jazz improvisation Absolutley great to give everybody access to information of this quality and on this subject!Paul Kovacs It is a great course and Gary Buton is amazing.
I had tried learning some jazz improvisation and theory on my own, but I wasn't making very quick progress.
I learned about the most important elements in jazz improvisation.
Excelente Excellent mini course on the rudiments of the language of jazz improvisation.
There are several basic concepts that this course presents for Jazz Improvisation that I found very helpful, such as chord scales and modes, guide tones, and theme & variation.

Very good and simplified instruction.
A very good and educational course, but you have to know your basic theory before you get started.
Very good course also for beginners and intermediates.
very good course to improve your musical skills!For me, like EDM producer it was really useful and necessarily to look in a new way (Jazz way) on music.

recommend it
All of the material shared in this course was really useful to me, I totally recommend it to anyone who wants to improve his improvisation skills.
However, I don't recommend it for people who start in music.
I have recommended the class to a friend who is taking it at the moment:) Will recommend it to others!!!
This course was a great experience and I could recommend it to all who want to improve their improvisation skills.
I highly recommend it!

music theory
You should be able to play the melody of a jazz standard from a sheet, make sense of chords beyond simple major/minor, and ideally have some basic knowledge of music theory.
Especially if you are a beginner with respect to playing jazz, as I am, and if you are also a beginner with respect to music theory (which I am not, I have a master's degree in musicology), I guess it is more than tough.
This is NOT recommended if you have less than 1 year of music theory under your belt.
I'd recommend it to anyone interested in jazz improvisation who has prior music theory experience and is proficient in at least one instrument.
