No, these lessons work equally well for both solo and group piano settings. They provide the required foundational material to create jazz arrangements that can be performed confidently on your own or with a group. Whether you’re learning for personal enjoyment or to play with others, these lessons are designed to help you succeed in either context.
There are no commitments or contracts. You can cancel your membership at anytime by visiting the Billing & Payments page from within your account.
Our goal is for you to learn piano, not to be stuck in a program that doesn't work for you.
While Jazzedge Academy is an incredible resource for anyone who wants to learn the piano, we understand it might not be right for every student.

Yes! With Jazzedge Learning Paths™ you'll get a detailed list of lessons to practice and what to focus on in each lesson.
Premier members enjoy live Teacher "Check-ins" with a Jazzedge teacher where they can ask questions and get feedback.
However, If you are an absolute beginner, meaning you don't know the notes of the keyboard, have never played a song or have no idea what a quarter-note means, you should look at our HomeSchoolPiano program which is perfect for absolute beginners.
If you've been playing for a few months you have all the skill you need to be successful here at Jazzedge Academy. My students range from beginners to pros. You'll find all the lessons you need here to "level up" your piano playing.
Over a dozen musical styles are covered in my lessons. Yet, you will notice that Jazzedge Academy skews toward the jazz style.
So, why Jazzedge? Well, when I started my online businesses in 2000...yes that long ago, I wanted to created a name that joined together my love for jazz and education. That became JazzED which eventually morphed into JazzEdge. We actually spelled it as JazzEDge for a while.
So Jazzedge Academy is not only for the 'elite' player. Nor is it only for jazz players. Jazzedge Academy takes the best of jazz, its creativity and improvisational spirit, to create an online learning experience like no other.
As one of my students likes to say "Your lessons don't just teach me a song, they teach me HOW to learn."
Yes! Our special Jazzedge Academy video player lets you loop any section of the lesson and slow it down. You'll never miss a note with our virtual keyboard and all of the options you have with the video player!
At the top of every page in the site is a 'Help' link where you can find tutorial videos on how to use the site or contact us for further help.
In addition, every month Willie hosts 'Office Hours' which is a great opportunity to ask him questions directly about practice, music, the Academy and more.
Plus, our Student Community is another place where you can ask questions and get answers from fellow students.
