My name is Nick Homes. I am a non genius musician who struggled for many years to find out the secrets of jazz improvisation. Throughout 40 years of playing, and obsessive investigation I have focussed on building systems of learning for my students so they can improve, and reach their learning goals with the highest probability whilst having fun!
JAZZ DUETS VISION
