Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about pacing, access, prerequisites, and support—kept simple.

Do I need to read sheet music?

Basic reading helps, but our courses pair concise notation with clear text and keyboard diagrams you can follow by ear.

How much time should I practice?

Fifteen focused minutes daily beats two unfocused hours weekly. Our practice tracks are designed for small, consistent doses.

Is this jazz-only?

We draw from jazz harmony, but apply it to ballads, film-like textures, and modern worship settings as well.

What equipment do I need?

Any acoustic or digital piano with 61+ keys is enough. A sustain pedal is recommended, but many drills are pedal-free by design.

Will I learn to improvise solos?

Yes. We start with motif creation, then develop contour and rhythm. By week six you will improvise short, honest solos on ii–V–I.

Can I get feedback on my playing?

We include optional feedback tracks in select courses where you submit a short recording and receive written notes.

How long do I keep access?

Most products are lifetime access. Bundles with live cohorts include a clearly stated access window posted in the catalog item.

What is your refund policy?

We offer a 14-day refund on first-time purchases if less than 25% of the content is completed. See the full terms for details.
