I play and teach muuuuusic. Check out my 10 Minute Jazz Lesson Podcast!!

It’s not just watching them play either! Some of the best lessons I ever got were car rides with legendary artists I was lucky enough to pick up from the airport or shuttle around in college. Don’t pass up any opportunities!

[Nick Mainella @mainellamusic]

Proximity to great musicians is really important in learning music. Whenever you get a chance, try to get into the same room and observe the masters. You will learn so much!

These velocity exercises are kicking my ass all over the place!
