Join the FREE 5‑Day Jazz Challenge

Try the exact approach my private students use to turn their favorite jazz standards from a bare lead sheet into authentic jazz piano.

Join today and get access to 5 video lessons with my guidance, tools, and proven exercises to improve your playing.

Here's what we'll cover.

Technical

Handling multiple parts (melody and bass)
Building a full sound with spread voicings
Getting a boring melody to swing
Creating many textures with minimal theory

Practical

How to first approach a lead sheet
Goal‑specific practice strategies
Common jazz misconceptions
What to focus on, and what to ignore

How It Works.

Each day you'll receive a video lesson with one specific concept, effective exercises to practice and drill the concept, and the exact method to apply the concept to a jazz standard.

This is the same structure my students use to learn jazz because the biggest problem in learning jazz these days isn't a lack of information…

It's a lack of application.

So by the end of this 5‑day jazz challenge, you'll not only increase your jazz knowledge — you'll actually be able to apply specific concepts into a jazz standard to create an authentic jazz sound.

By the way, I'm Charlie Tran.
