Building Your Foundation in Jazz Improvisation: A Suggested Path Through the PRO Courses

Our 5 PRO Jazz Courses are packed with the essential skills every jazz musician needs. And one of the most common questions we hear is: What order should I study them in?

The truth is, there’s no single “correct” path. You can begin wherever your biggest weakness or strongest interest lies. But if you’d like a guided plan, the courses do fit together in a natural sequence. Follow the flow below to build the mental, aural, and creative foundation you’ll need for a lifetime of jazz improvisation.

1. Visualization for Jazz Improvisation

A powerful entry point, this course teaches you to think like a professional jazz musician—free from the constant mental strain of chords, scales, and progressions. You’ll learn how to internalize all that information so it runs effortlessly in the background, leaving your mind clear to focus on making music.

2. Jazz Theory Unlocked

Visualization is key, but you’ll also need a deep understanding of harmony. In 5 parts with 60+ videos, this course transforms how you think about chords, progressions, and substitutions, giving you practical tools to improvise and compose with clarity.

3. The Ear Training Method

Mental and theoretical knowledge is incomplete without aural skills. This course trains your ear to recognize how everything actually sounds, reinforcing what you learn in Visualization and Jazz Theory Unlocked. With easy to follow audio sessions and quizzes, it’s a course you can continue to use every single day.

4. Melodic Power

Now it’s time to apply it all. With 42 lessons and 5+ hours of demos, this course bridges the gap between transcription and improvisation. You’ll not only learn essential melodic techniques, but also the process for creating your own, an invaluable skill for developing a personal voice.

5. Reprogramming the Musical Mind

Every musician faces moments of nerves, burnout, or self-doubt. This 30-day audio program helps you reset your mindset and get back to your most creative, focused state, something you can revisit again and again whenever you need it.

Putting It All Together

These courses complement each other. You can start with the Visualization Course or Jazz Theory Unlocked and build from there, or dive straight into the area you most want to strengthen. Whatever path you choose, with consistent effort you’ll be laying a solid foundation for a lifetime of growth in jazz improvisation.
