I've been a self-taught guitarist for two years and struggled to integrate theory into my improvisation. Yoel opened up my playing with modes, scales, and patterns all over the neck and after only three lessons, I've seen HUGE improvements in my playing. He's a great guy, easy to learn from, and is very good at pushing your limits. Overall great player and a great guy!

What is the best method for learning Improvisation ?
We're biased, of course, but at Lessonface we believe the best way to learn Improvisation is through one-on-one lessons. Personalized instruction means your teacher can tailor every lesson to your goals, learning style, and skill level. Online group classes can also be a great way to make learning fun and social. Learning Improvisation online makes it easy to stay consistent, which is essential to steady progress.
There are plenty of apps and YouTube videos out there to help with learning Improvisation, but most teachers agree that those resources work best as supplements to, not replacements for, one-on-one instruction. A skilled Improvisation teacher can identify bad habits before they become ingrained, help you focus on what matters most, and solve problems as soon as they arise, often saving you months of frustration and wasted practice time. The bottom line? A real teacher accelerates your progress and keeps you on the right path from day one.
How do online Improvisation lessons work?
Online lessons are effective, affordable, and accessible. Lessonface qualifies teachers in over 300 music, language, and arts subjects, including Improvisation. Students can browse teachers' profiles, send them messages, and book lessons securely through Lessonface. Lessons happen via Zoom links that are securely generated for each lesson, and can be easily recorded by the teacher. Recordings, notes, and attachments can all be accessed from within the Lessonface dashboard. Lessons can be booked one at a time, in packages, or by subscription to save a spot on the teacher's calendar. Lessonface hosts recitals, open mics, group classes, and self-paced courses too. Registering an account is free so it's easy to get started reaching out to find your ideal instructor. Contact us with any further questions!
