🎹 Unlock Your Jazz Potential

Learn to Play with Confidence and Skill


Have you been struggling to learn to play jazz? Maybe you're feeling confused by music theory or intimidated by improvisation. Or perhaps you're a classically trained musician who wants to try something new but doesn't know where to start. I've been there too, and that's why I created this online course.

Each lesson is designed to be short and sweet - just 5 to 10 minutes - and focuses on one specific technique at a time. By breaking down these smaller concepts and applying them to your daily practice, you'll be amazed at how quickly you can master the fundamentals of playing jazz.

Students ❤️ Jazz Fundamentals

“I love how Jazz Fundamentals focuses on just one idea at a time. Other methods are so overwhelming and confusing, but this course makes each concept immediately approachable.”

Angela Senicz

“The videos in this course are great! I've picked up several new techniques that I struggled with from other courses.”

Martyn Ramsden

“A unique thing about Jazz Fundamentals is how it’s approachable on multiple levels. I’m currently working through the lessons quickly but I look forward to revisiting some of them again to really internalize the concepts and deepen my understanding.”

Eric Browning

“This course gave me a clear direction, allowing me to focus on one goal at a time. It was fun, it motivated me, and the challenge provided me with valuable perspective and new ideas.”

Natalie B

“Josh produces such great content on a weekly basis, and there's always a good practice plan to go alongside...I only wish my fingers could keep up with it all!”

Ron T

“The course has been spot on for my needs. I am especially impressed that you cared enough to take the time to condense it down to just the beef so that we didn't have to search to find it. I am also impressed with the quality of your website and videos and its ease of use.”

Brian B.

“Josh's Friday workshops are helping me in my real gigs. I was able to confidently improvise and solo during a set—just by using the scales and concepts we practiced that day. His explanations make theory click and show up in my playing immediately.”

Barb C.

“Josh’s 7-day challenge was so well taught, I signed up for the full year. I especially love how he ordered the keys from easiest to hardest—it made the learning process feel approachable and doable.”

William W.

“We all love the fancy chords, voicings and scales. But, Josh's relentless focus on mastery of the fundamentals is what keeps bringing me back for more.”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What if I'm not happy with my purchase?

    If you aren't happy with the product please reach out to us within 30 days and we'll give you your money back.

  • Is this course for all instruments?

    The course is designed for all instrumentalists, except for drummers. Our lessons are all presented at the piano keyboard, but apply to all instruments. There is a key focus on rhythm section instruments, with techniques around chord voicing, comping and accompanying. But, these lessons are valuable even to solo instrumental players to learn how to play with an ensemble.

  • Is this course for beginners?

    This is great course for beginners to jazz, but its not a great course for total beginners. If you have some proficiency at your instrument and the ability to read music, you should be just fine!

  • Are there advanced techniques in this course?

    This is fairly subjective. We have accomplished students who get great value out of this course by picking up new techniques that they haven't yet mastered. Check the curriculum above and consider how it applies to your abilities.

Hi, I'm Josh

I'm Josh Walsh — jazz pianist, educator, and creator of the courses you see here. I’ve spent years performing, teaching, and creating content to help everyday musicians play jazz with confidence and creativity. Before all this, I ran a tech company for 20 years. It was a high-stress job, and sitting down at the piano became my way to reset. Playing music helped me slow down, clear my head, and just enjoy the moment again. In 2021, I sold that company to pursue a new mission: helping 100,000 people find joy and relaxation through making music. If that sounds like something you’re after, you’re in the right place.
