Jazz courses can help you learn improvisation techniques, chord progressions, rhythm patterns, and the history of jazz styles. You can build skills in ear training, composition, and ensemble playing, which are crucial for performing with others. Many courses introduce tools like music notation software, audio editing programs, and digital audio workstations, allowing you to create and refine your own compositions while applying what you've learned in practical settings.
