How it works

Every month follows the same proven rhythm

A clear structure, so each session builds on the last and you always know what to practice next.

A new standard

Each masterclass has a Monthly Focus: one jazz standard you'll learn inside out.

Lesson plan & sheet music

You get a detailed lesson plan plus downloadable sheet music for the tune.

Live with Paul

90 minutes on Zoom: the head, voicings, rhythm, soloing and playing with bass and drums.

Replay & feedback

Watch the recording any time, then send Paul a performance for personal feedback.

The skills you'll build

Go deeper than any single course can

Voicings & progressions

Move from simple chords to rich 9ths, 11ths and 13ths, and string progressions like the II–V–I together musically.

Improvisation

Build solos over real changes using scales, arpeggios and the vocabulary of the jazz greats.

Rhythm & swing feel

Lock in your time with swing, Latin grooves and other jazz rhythms at a range of tempos.

Technique & independence

Jazz Hanon and two-hand exercises, like a walking bass line under a right-hand solo over a II–V–I.

What they say

Wonderful masterclass! I learned as much from your spoken content as I did from listening to you play. I jammed on the B♭ blues after the class.
