FYI: If you sign up for a Mas­ter­Class course by click­ing on the affil­i­ate links in this post, Open Cul­ture will receive a small fee that helps sup­port our oper­a­tion.

A quick update to some­thing we first men­tioned last June. On Mas­ter­class, jazz leg­end Her­bie Han­cock is now teach­ing his first online course on jazz. In 25 video lessons, the 14-time Gram­my win­ner shares his approach to impro­vi­sa­tion, com­po­si­tion, and har­mo­ny, and gives stu­dents access to 10+ orig­i­nal piano tran­scrip­tions, includ­ing 5 exclu­sive solo per­for­mances. Plus there’s a down­load­able work­book.

You can take this class by sign­ing up for a Mas­ter­Class’ All Access Pass. The All Access Pass will give you instant access to this course and 85 oth­ers for a 12-month peri­od.
