Improvise By Degrees is an interactive course designed to enhance improvisation skills across all instruments. It encompasses multimedia exercises, examples, and explanations.

The course focuses on teaching you how to use scales and chord notes effectively on all kinds of chord progressions. The training strategy has two main objectives. The first is to train the musician in mastering the use of pure chord notes or 'pillar notes' when improvising on chords, and the second is to train him in mastering the use of scales and modes.
Improvisation By Degrees emphasizes the importance of mastering both chord notes and scales and demonstrates their utility from the very beginning.
The course is designed mainly for intermediate and advanced musicians. Beginners are advised to develop some basic musical skills, such as chords, scales, and basic techniques, before starting the IBD course.
Although jazz musicians are the most obvious category that can benefit from the course, Improvisation By Degrees is not linked to a particular musical genre. Anyone who solos and improvises on any kind of chords, such as blues, rock, bluegrass, metal, and many other musical forms, will find highly effective exercises and training strategies that they can apply immediately to their own playing.
Overall, Improvisation By Degrees is a comprehensive course that effectively develops improvisation skills in any kind of music genre.
