David is the founder of Improvise for Real—a methodology and library of materials designed to help anyone start and improve their improvisation in a unique and natural way.

This interview was a real gem, and I know you’re going to enjoy it.

What You’re Going to Learn in This Episode

  • How David has developed a simple, progressive approach to modern harmony that allows students to actually enjoy the learning process
  • How to engage with music naturally—by savoring it, rather than forcing progress
  • The difference between playing music and truly feeling it
  • Why it's so valuable to build your own fascination and personal connection with music—before or beyond the rules and advice of teachers

And much more!

“What people really need, I think, is an experience of learning music that actually involves music.”
