About DKO Video Lessons
DKO Video Lessons are a comprehensive library of pre-recorded videos containing powerful yet practical information regarding trombone, jazz and music technology. These three subjects are the passion and expertise of DKO Lessons founder Darren Kramer – an accomplished musician with 35 yrs experience as a professional trombonist, jazz musician, and music technology expert. All video lessons are created and taught by Darren and are intended for musicians of any instrument, age or skill level. (other than the obvious “Trombone Lessons” category) This clear, concise content is easy to understand as it is presented through detailed, step-by-step, modern teaching techniques used in conjunction with multiple HD video cameras, state-of-the-art audio, cutting-edge iPad apps, and even video footage from live performances and education masterclasses. In addition, Mp3 recordings and written PDF music examples are embedded within the video lesson and are also provided as digital downloads for enhanced learning during personal practice.
DKO Video Lessons are a unique multifaceted approach for focused learning of complex topics such as jazz improvisation, jazz theory, performance and recording techniques, transcribing, writing horn parts, secrets of jazz trombone, incorporating the iPad into your daily routine and “Electric Trombone Lessons” showing you how to use audio effects to convert your instrument into a 21st century sound device! In response to today’s fast-paced world where consumers demand instant access to highly categorized information, DKO Lessons were created to help an educator in the classroom today or help a musician for a gig tonight. These videos are not intended to be an all-inclusive chronological online course, but rather a quick resource for specific popular topics that will instantly help answer your questions now. To that end, all lessons follow this simple agenda:
- Listen – Every video begins with a short performance or demo of the lesson objective…not a verbal explanation!
- Learn – Break the task down into small easy steps. (Usually accompanied by a downloadable PDF and/or MP3)
- Practice – Meticulously practice the material together with Darren using two proven learning methods: Slow Repetition & Relaxed Concentration.
- Review – A brief recap of specific action items that will accelerate your learning and retention rate while practicing.
- Ask – You can then email Darren questions, send a video url for feedback, or schedule a private one-to-one Skype lesson.
The primary goal of these informative lessons is to save you time! The secondary goal is to eliminate frustration (or at least reduce it!) when learning new topics or new technology. In doing so, I hope to increase your knowledge and enjoyment on numerous topics by showing you how to quickly incorporate new helpful tips into your daily routine. It’s Fun, Fast & Easy – Join Now!
