There's a year in my life where I had a lot of time

on my hands in, I actually learned 100 new jazz standards in one year. That's right. I'll say

it again. I learned 100 new jazz standards in an entire year. And while I wouldn't necessarily

recommend someone to do this, in fact, I wouldn't

really ever tell my students to learn 100 jazz standards in one year. And I'll explain a little

bit about that in this episode. I did actually learn a lot of lessons about jazz and learning

music very quickly because I went through that process.

So in today's episode, I'm going to be sharing with you four things that I learned from

learning 100 jazz standards in one year so that you can learn from them so that you can

avoid doing that yourself and just take the lessons that I got from them.

All right?

So let's do this thing.

Let's crush it.
