STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
Who is this Workshop for?
This workshop is for all intermediate and advanced-level pianists, whether you’re new to improvisation, a fan of Cory Henry, or a more experienced soloist looking to accelerate your growth and expand your skills. The projects are designed so that you can practice and learn at the pace of your own personal abilities.
If you’re looking to immerse yourself in a month-long learning experience, level up your soloing skills, and finish the workshop with a blueprint of your improvisation guideline and 4 original solo performances, this workshop is for you.
How much musical knowledge and experience do I need?
You only need basic knowledge of the piano to participate in this workshop. Berklee College of Music professor Alain Merville explains all of the music theory and provides practical understanding behind every concept and technique Cory teaches. This workshop is packed with information and you’ll likely get different learnings of it depending on your level of musical knowledge.
We’ll provide resources throughout the workshop to help you, including weekly Q&As with Cory & Alain, music theory exercises, ear training exercises, performance exercises with real-time feedback, play-along tracks, and skill development monitoring technology for you to measure your progress throughout the entire workshop.
Does it matter where I’m located?
Absolutely not. All the video lessons are pre-recorded, allowing you to watch them whenever is best for you. Inside the workshop, you’ll see the daily classwork to complete to stay on track. Although other students may complete lessons and exercises at different hours during the day, every student will be completing the same projects and watching the same videos day by day. It’ll feel like you’re learning in a classroom and part of a vibrant group of students.
We recommend attending the live Q&A sessions each week. If you aren’t able to attend, you’ll be able to submit your questions in advance and access the recorded versions after each weekly session.
You’ll get the best of both worlds - many of the benefits of learning in person, all from the comfort of your own home and the flexibility of your own hours.
How long are the weekly video calls?
The live video calls with Cory and Alain will be approximately 1-2 hour sessions at the end of each week during the 4-week workshop. This is when you’ll have a chance to ask any questions about the workshop material and get direct feedback from Cory and Alain.
We recommend attending the live Q&A sessions each week. If you aren’t able to attend, you’ll be able to submit your questions in advance and access the recorded versions after each weekly session.
Will I get direct feedback from Cory Henry?
Absolutely Yes! Cory and Alain will participate in the live weekly calls where you’ll have the opportunity to submit questions and receive direct feedback. You may also be called on and have a chance to speak during a session. Students will be able to submit performance videos prior to the live calls for more specific feedback on their playing.
May I enroll later if this timing does not work for me?
Due to Cory’s busy travel and studio schedule, we are offering the interactive version of this workshop during the specified time - so don’t miss your chance to enroll! Additionally, we offer a 3-day money-back guarantee, so you may try the workshop for the first couple of days risk-free.
Do you have a refund policy?
Yes. If for any reason you want to refund your enrollment, you may do so within the first 3 days of the workshop and receive credit back in your account to take a different workshop or class.
