In this video, I share an unedited practice session I recorded over three weeks with my son’s piano teacher. I originally held back on publishing it because it is full of mistakes.
But now I’ve decided to share it. Here’s why:
1️⃣ To show that if you're not a genius (like me), music still takes time, work, and patience
2️⃣ Because I believe mistakes are human—and inevitable in real music-making.
3️⃣ To make it clear that what I post here isn’t flawless (it never is).
4️⃣ And to remind anyone doubting themselves that growth takes time.
✅ The lines in this session come from The Thesaurus of Bebop Scales: jazzduets.com/collections/easy-beginner/products/thesaurus-of-bebop-scales
If you've ever felt discouraged in your practice, I hope this encourages you to keep going.
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!
