If you learn 30 standards the right way, you'll learn the next 300 in the same amount of time. Learning standards is a process that can become so efficient, but you have to go through the process to really internalize them the right way before you can get fast at it.

As always, everything in today's video is free and we hope you'll enjoy it! If you want the full "30 Day Standards Bootcamp" resource, the online course will give you something to shed with each day to get 30 standards down in a meaningful way, and hopefully set you on the right path for expanding your repertoire and improving your overall musicianship as a result.

Regardless, thanks for watching and happy shedding :)

When you work on this process, once you feel you've mastered the standard, do you change the studied standard or do you start again the same process in another key and you don't move to another standard before you master it in all 12 keys?
