PRO Membership from Jazzadvice
Your All-Access Roadmap to Jazz Mastery
If you like our lessons, you’ll love PRO
Much of Jazzadvice is free, but the most detailed, transformative training — the tools that truly move your playing forward fast — are exclusive to PRO Members. Get all 5 PRO Jazz Courses, every PRO Lesson (formerly Premium Lessons), and everything new we create. One membership. Unlimited access.
What PRO is & Why we started it
So here’s the deal…we’re not some big company with a hundred employees. We’re just two guys, Forrest & Eric, passing on all we’ve learned about playing jazz. Every lesson, every course, every detail — everything you see here, we do ourselves.
Behind the scenes are thousands of hours (and dollars) poured into creating and maintaining this site, all so we can focus on the work that matters most: helping you become a better musician. We create the most in-depth jazz lessons we can. You read and practice them. That’s how it works.
When we started Jazzadvice, we never imagined it would grow to hundreds of thousands of readers. We’re grateful to be here, sharing our passion. You’re the only reason this site keeps going — musicians who value what we do enough to help us keep doing it.
So why is PRO the Best Way to Learn Jazz?
All of our courses are built to work together. Instead of piecing things together on your own, you get a clear, connected path for your entire jazz journey. And it’s not just the courses — every lesson on Jazzadvice, free and PRO, reinforces the same approach.
With full access, you’ll have everything at your fingertips, working together to move you forward faster and with confidence.

Thousands of musicians paid full price for these courses and lessons, and for good reason. The material works. It helps players make real, lasting progress.
With PRO, you can now take advantage of the best offer we’ve ever made—and it’s not just about the price. We’ve made everything easier to access, more affordable, and more effective.
The courses are designed to work together, giving you a structured, step-by-step foundation. The PRO Lessons (formerly Premium) build on that foundation with real-world examples, targeted exercises, and deeper explorations of the concepts in action.
Everything now lives under one roof: a cohesive learning experience that helps you improve faster, stay focused, and finally understand how it all connects.
And here’s the truth…
We’ve almost given up many times. Closed the site, packed things up, and called it quits. Loving the work doesn’t make the hard moments disappear, and there have been times when it would’ve been easier to just walk away. But we didn’t — we kept going.
And with your help, we can continue to make Jazzadvice better than ever…
So if you’ve ever shared one of our lessons…if you’ve learned something that pushed your playing forward, kept you from quitting, or reminded you why you love music, joining PRO is the best way to say thanks and to make sure Jazzadvice keeps growing for years to come.

The Blueprint: 5 Courses, One Complete Path
You’ve seen the big picture. Now it’s time to dig into the details. Each course in PRO is designed to cover a critical skill every improviser needs.
These aren’t random topics or one-off lessons. Each one is part of a larger system that guides your playing forward. From harmony to ear training, melody to mindset, and visualization, the courses work together to give you the same foundation the masters built their music on.
Here’s how each one will transform the way you approach jazz…
PRO Course #1 – The Ear Training Method
Stop letting music pass you by — train your ears to catch it all. This course transforms listening into an effortless skill. You’ll go beyond guessing intervals or chord tones — you’ll start hearing music clearly and responding with confidence.
With over 300 carefully crafted audio lessons, this program lets you practice it all — no piano, no partner, just smart track-by-track guidance. You’ll build a musical ear that works whether you’re walking, rehearsing, or performing.
You’ll learn to:
- Move from recognizing intervals to recalling them instantly, as naturally as a familiar voice
- Fix the holes in your hearing, so no chord voicing or melodic nuance slips by
- Hear the color of chord tones and complex progressions inside your head before you play them
- Use “ingrain” exercises and contrast drills to train your ears until listening becomes second nature
By the end, your ears will work for you, not against you, able to pick out chords, melodies, and progressions on the fly so you can craft improvisations with intuition, not hesitation.
PRO Course #2 – Melodic Power
Break out of scale routines and start improvising with intention. This course isn’t about running patterns—it gives you the melodic techniques that make solos sound clear, powerful, and memorable.
Instead of endless notes, you’ll learn to shape lines the way great players do—so every phrase has direction and purpose.
You’ll learn to:
- Extract concrete melodic techniques from masters like Coltrane, Clifford Brown, and Stan Getz.
- Bridge the gap between transcription and improvisation by turning what you hear into personal vocabulary.
- Build a practice method that makes these techniques second nature in your playing.
By the end, you’ll have a set of melodic tools that bring clarity and strength to your improvisation—so your lines connect, flow, and leave an impact.
PRO Course #3 – Jazz Theory Unlocked
Unlock the hidden logic behind jazz harmony. This course isn’t just another scale zoo — it shows you how chords, progressions, and phrases fit together so the music tells a story instead of feeling random.
You’ll go beyond theory charts and memorized rules to really understand how jazz works. You’ll start to see the structure behind harmony, so you can improvise with confidence instead of guessing.
You’ll learn how to:
- See chord function and voice-leading as a clear roadmap through any tune
- Quickly recognize progressions in standards so you don’t get lost when the changes move
- Use theory as a creative tool to build solos that sound connected instead of patched together
By the end, you’ll understand harmony the way the pros did — not as scattered scales, but as a complete framework you can rely on to create lines that flow with logic, purpose, and forward motion.
PRO Course #4: Reprogramming the Musical Mind
Transform your mental game to play with confidence. This is a 30-day audio journey that tackles the underlying thoughts, habits, and mindset that most music courses ignore — the performer behind the instrument.
Whether nerves, comparison, or stuck practice habits are holding you back, this course rewires how you relate to your music.
Inside, you’ll learn to:
- Reframe your mindset toward music so practice and performance feel energizing, not draining
- Build habits that stick, so your progress compounds day after day
- Calm your mind during performance using mental tools like visualization and affirmations
- Trust your instincts under pressure, without letting anxiety derail you
Why it matters: You won’t just play better — you’ll think and perform differently. By the end, your state of mind will be your biggest ally on the road to your musical goals.
PRO Course #5: Visualization for Jazz Improvisation
Great players don’t just practice with their instruments — they practice with their minds. Visualization is the secret tool that connects mental clarity with physical execution, allowing you to internalize music on a deeper level.
In this course, you’ll discover how to:
- Train your mind to “see” chord tones, progressions, and lines before you play them
- Build mental fluency so your ideas flow effortlessly from thought to sound
- Strengthen your memory and confidence by rehearsing away from the horn
Instead of relying only on hours of mechanical practice, you’ll tap into the same approach elite performers use across sports and music — rehearsing mentally so you’re always prepared. By the end, you’ll know how to harness visualization to supercharge your practice, deepen your creativity, and unlock a new level of freedom in improvisation.

A: No. PRO is a separate membership. It gives you all 5 Courses, every PRO Lesson (formerly Premium Lessons), and everything new we create — all for one price.

Q: Who is this for?
A: PRO isn’t for everyone. If you’re looking for shortcuts, a way to fake it on stage, or an escape from daily practice, this isn’t it. PRO is for musicians who want to build a real foundation, study deeply, and apply what they’re learning. It’s not designed for the absolute beginner — but if you know the basics of scales, chords, and progressions, you’ll benefit whether you’re an experienced beginner, intermediate, or advanced player.
Q: Will this work for my level?
A: Yes — as long as you’re not a complete beginner. If you’re just starting out but already know the fundamentals, PRO will give you the structure and clarity to move forward faster. And if you’re intermediate or advanced, it will fill in the gaps, reframe what you already know, and push you further than you thought possible.
Q: Do I need to read music?
A: No. You don’t need to be fluent in notation. A basic familiarity with major and minor scales is enough to start.
Q: I’m not a jazz musician. Will I still benefit?
A: Absolutely. The ability to hear, understand, and use the language of music isn’t limited to jazz. Whether you play classical, rock, folk, or any other style, the skills you’ll build in PRO and its Courses will make you a better musician.
Q: Which course should I start with?
A: You can begin with any of the 5 PRO Courses — they’re designed to complement each other. If you’re unsure, start with the area where you feel weakest, or follow our suggested sequence on the site for a clear roadmap.
Q: Is there a money-back guarantee or refund if I don’t like it?
A: No. We don’t offer refunds. Our courses and membership are the result of years of work, and they require consistent effort on your part. If you’re serious about improving, willing to practice, and keep an open mind, you’ll get tremendous value from PRO.

A: No. PRO content is for the one person who signs up. Sharing or redistributing any part of our lessons or courses is not allowed, and access will be revoked without refund.
