“I’m not going to be ready to play in time for the holidays!”
So we cram at the last minute, stress ourselves out, and miss the joy of playing.
This year, we’re changing that. We’re starting early. We’re doing it together. And we’re making it fun...
When you join today, you get everything inside the Jazz-Library All Access Pass, including:

I get it. My goal is to keep these groups small and a safe space to be vulnerable and learn. We're all doing this together. I won't make you play if you don't want to, but it is a great opportunity to get some feedback.
Beginners and advanced players are welcome. You are expected to know how to read music, navigate the keyboard. Many of the fundamental concepts we rely on these workshops are taught in other membership material which you will have access to review at anytime. We may not go over each technique as thoroughly in the live workshop, especially when there are other lessons in the membership dedicated to it.
This course is the result of giving hundreds of private lessons and my own experiences as a gigging player. What sets us apart is that we don't just teach the techniques academically. Rather, our approach encourages you to put each technique into your playing until you can play over any standard fluently.
I've been where you are. I studied piano at Cleveland Institute of music. I built the classical technique to play just about any song you could put in front of me. But, give me a lead sheet or ask me to improvise and I'd collapse. Playing spontaneously terrified me. It took me many years to build the skills and technique to feel comfortable improvising in front of others. Over the last few years I've taught over 100 other students to do the same thing, and over 50,000 musicians watch my educational resources on YouTube each month.
Our live sessions go for 9 weeks, but depending on your ability and time to practice, you may take as long as you need. Our goal is to have you ready by Christmas, but if you need more time, thats great too. You'll always have the replays to look back to.
