We'll let you know when Molly Miller adds new classes to Til.
In this course we will continue to develop our jazz fundamentals. We will work on improvising, comping, repertoire, and fretboard knowledge: scales, arpeggios, chord voicings. There is a big push on application, not simply memorizing these fundaments, but the HOW, WHY, and WHEN.

Loved the Intro to Jazz class. We learned 4 standards and Molly introduced concepts like arpeggios, enclosures, scales and drop2 chords in a way that's digestible and rooted to the songs we were learning. I did really feel a build during the 6 weeks and I'm excited to continue 🙌

Molly Miller is a very gifted player and educator. She is dedicated, and personable, and very good at demonstrating and explaining the lessons. I highly recommend her classes !

Dr. Molly's "Intro to Jazz" was a fab course. She presented a methodical system to learning standards that greatly helped me to get past the intimidation of difficult chord changes. Each class built on the concepts of the previous week, so it was easy to practice all of the material and keep up with assignments. Molly was very patient and friendly during lessons. She took the time to thoroughly answer everyone's questions either in the lesson on in the class chat. I appreciated that she provided constructive feedback on the posted assignments every week too. I highly recommend this course to intermediate players looking to expand beyond pop/rock idioms.

Dr Miller gives great importance to the fundamentals and has very effective ways to allow her students to internalise them not just mentally but also by execution. Not just a great guitarist but also a great teacher!

As a newcomer to Jazz, this was an easy to follow course that covered some essential pieces while still allowing us to dive right in and start playing. I had been taught some of these "pieces" before, but was able to finally "connect the dots" here -looking forward to "Part II" in the new year.

She's a great, organized and knowledgable teacher. She always had a plan for the class, and was willing & able to pivot if we needed it.
