Do you struggle with the following?

  • "I really want to learn jazz piano but don't know where to start"

  • "I want to accelerate my jazz learning and see faster results in my playing"

  • "Learning jazz piano on my own feels like wandering through a mist, slowly picking up clues and trying to connect the dots"

  • "I feel like there's a theory bottleneck that's hindering my free expression on the piano"

  • "I'm overwhelmed with information, and just need to be shown a clear path for what I should practice"

  • "I want to learn to play any song from my real book in an authentic jazz piano style"

If any of the above sound like you - then I’ve created a jazz piano video course specifically for you...

Learn Jazz Piano In One Year

I've broken your learning into a series of step-by-step video courses...

Each course focuses on one aspect of jazz piano...

You won't have to go searching for your next lesson. I've organized everything for you in one place.

These are the courses you get access too:

  • Interval Arithmetic course ($97 value): Learn to count intervals quickly and accurately - so that you can accelerate your learning of jazz piano.

  • Jazz Fundamentals course ($297 value): Learn to understand chord symbols, lead sheets, ii-V-Is, modulation, song form, the chord/scale relationship, and how jazz works.

  • Improvisation Step By Step course ($297 value): Learn to improvise, one concept at a time - chord tone soloing, approach patterns, enclosures, and rhythmic techniques.

  • Chord Voicing Intensive course ($397 value): Learn to voice any jazz standard using sophisticated voicings that professionals use; upper structures, rootless voicings, shells, 5th voicings, and more.

Course Q+A

How much video content is there?
There's currently over 6 hours of video content (in my Interval Arithmetic, Jazz Fundamentals and Improvisation Step by Step courses). And in addition, I'll be posting my Chord Voicing Intensive course within the next 2 months.

How many videos are in each course?
Roughly 20-25 videos per course. Most lessons are 10-15 minutes long, with concise delivery.

Are these videos more detailed than your YouTube videos?
Yes - they're more detailed, they cover material that I've never talked about on YouTube, and most importantly - they're step by step, rather than just random topics.

I don’t understand how your course works - is it like going to school every day?
Think of each video in my course as being a private lesson with me - it's everything I would teach you in one lesson, only it's pre-recorded.
After watching the lesson - you'll leave with one practice exercise that I want you to practice at the piano (the exercise will probably take you several days to master).
Once you've completed that exercise, come back and watch the next lesson - where I'll give you a new practice exercise. And so on.
You have access to all of the material - and you can go through it at your own pace.

Is there any live broadcast training?
No - all lessons are pre-recorded and edited (which makes them much more concise than a live broadcast). This allows you to watch the lessons at any time, and you won't have to worry about missing a live broadcast.

Does this course have printable material associated with the lessons?
Yes - there's lesson notes for each lesson (downloadable PDFs). There's also additional resources like my 'practice exercise ebook' for each course, audio downloads (including backing tracks for you to play to) and sheet music.

Do you provide the sheet music for the songs you cover - or do you have to purchase a Real book?
I don't provide sheet music to any jazz songs. I recommend you purchase a Real Book ($30) to accompany you through these courses, and your jazz piano learning / career.

Are the videos downloadable?
No, the videos are not downloadable - but you have 24/7 access to the member's area so you can watch the lessons at any time, and from any location (including watching on your smartphone). Each video comes with a PDF lesson summary which can be downloaded.

Do I need any special software or apps to watch this course?
No - all you need is internet connection, and you can access your courses through this website.

Do I get complete access to everything from day 1 - or do I have to stay subscribed as the courses are dripped out?
You get complete access to all of the courses that have been posted. As of today, the first 2 courses today are already posted - 'Interval Arithmetic' and 'Jazz Fundamentals' - which are over 5 hours of videos.
In addition, I will be continuing to post new videos each month, as I complete the remaining 2 courses - 'Improvisation Step By Step' and 'Chord Voicing Intensive'.

If I cancel my subscription after a few months - do I retain the courses?
No - you get complete access to all of the courses / videos in the member's area while you're a member. If you decide to end your subscription, you will lose access to the member's area (although you can always sign up again in future).

However you do get to keep all of the lesson resources which can be downloaded from the member's area - practice ebooks, PDF lesson notes, backing tracks, audio exercises, etc.

Will I get notified when my subscription is about to renew?
Yes. If you become a yearly member - you will get an email from me, several weeks before your subscription renews. This will give you plenty of time to review the courses and decide if you wish to continue - or cancel your membership.

I'm worried about forgetting to cancel my subscription - what happens if I'm accidentally billed?
Not a problem. I can refund any payment you make within 90 days. Just email me and I can reverse any unintended charge.

Which subscription is right for me - Monthly or Yearly?
If you're serious about achieving jazz piano success - then the Yearly option will give you the best results. You'll have the time that's needed to go through the courses and do the practice exercises.

Do I need any other equipment?
I recommend all students buy a Real Book (roughly $30) to accompany watching the courses. This is so that you can apply what you learn to your real jazz songs after each lesson.

Can I pause and re-watch the videos?
Yes! The course videos are hosted with Vimeo - which has beautiful resolution. You can pause the videos, skip forward and back, re-watch as many times as you like - and you can even change the playback speed to double speed or half-speed.

What happens when enrollment closes?
The Jazz Tutorial Membership is only available while enrollment is open. After enrollment closes, it will be at least 3 months before you can join again. Today's Founder Rate pricing is only guaranteed for this enrollment, and will likely increase as I publish more courses to the Membership.

What happens if I unsubscribe? Can I re-subscribe later?
Yes, you can unsubscribe at any time, and join again during a future enrollment.

Prerequisites Q+A

I don’t read music - can I still join?
You can still join and learn from the courses. Most of the videos DO NOT require you to read music at all. And my 'reading music guideline' is mostly so that you can apply what you learn by playing songs from your real book.

How good at reading music do I need to be?
You only have to read treble clef to play from a real book (there's no bass clef in most real books).
If you don't read music yet - watch my quick video that shows you how to read music before you join: Click here

I don’t play piano - is this still for me?
The Jazz Tutorial courses are made primarily for jazz pianists. However, most lessons apply to all instruments (including my improvisation lessons, jazz theory lessons, and interval arithmetic lessons). Only the Chord Voicing Intensive course is piano specific.
So I still recommend the Jazz Tutorial courses to non-pianists. However, you must be familiar with the notes on the keyboard (as I teach through the piano). If piano is your second instrument, I recommend the Monthly Subscription.

I'm over 60 - can I still learn this?
My audience is full of people over 60! I have many students in their 80s, who remain incredibly sharp and have made great progress in jazz piano. I believe that having the time to immerse yourself in learning jazz has more impact than how old you are.

Should I watch the courses sitting at my computer - or can I watch them on my cell phone?
It's up to you! You can watch the lessons from any device - computer, cell phone, iPad. You can watch them while sitting at the piano, or away from the piano. You can login to your courses from any device - and watch them from any location (as long as you have wifi).

I still don't know if this is right for me - what should I do?
I would love for you to try the new courses and see for yourself. You have a 90 day money back guarantee for the yearly membership, so if for any reason it turns out not to be right for you - just email me and I'll refund your purchase. That's what my money back guarantee is there for!

Billing Q+A

Now let me answer your questions about payments and billing:

Can I pay using PayPal?
Unfortunately not. The only payment I can accept is by bank card through the secure checkout page.

Can I pay by check?
Unfortunately not. The only payment I can accept is by bank card through the secure checkout page.

Is it safe for me to pay with my credit card on your website?
Yes. This website has an SSL certificate (which protects your personal information using encryption), and your payment is handled by Stripe's secure checkout (a service similar to PayPal), which is embedded on this website.

I live outside the US. Can you tell me what your pricing is in my home currency?
If you're outside the US, please use an online currency converter to see what your payment will be in your home currency.

Will I pay additional sales tax on my order?
No. Sales tax is already included in the price. You only pay today's price - and nothing more.

Is your pricing in US dollars or Australian dollars?
All pricing is shown in US dollars.

Musical Ear Q+A

Now let me answer your questions regarding my other popular course - The Musical Ear:

How much overlap is there between your ear training course (The Musical Ear) and the jazz piano courses?
There is almost zero overlap between the jazz piano courses, and my previous ear training course.
However, both courses are taught using my 'Fixed Root Learning' system - where I teach everything from C first - chord voicings, scales, reharms - we learn everything lined up from C first, before transposing it to other keys.

The Jazz Tutorial courses are exclusively focused on learning jazz piano - things like chord voicings, jazz notation markings, chord symbols, jazz scales, improvisation techniques, and so on.
