Struggling to improve your jazz playing — even though you’re practicing regularly?

You might not need more lessons or information.
You might just need a clear goal.

In this episode, I’m sharing the 3 specific goals that have completely transformed the way my students learn jazz piano — and why most players stay stuck without them.

Whether you’re trying to comp better in a band, finally play a tune solo, or improvise without sounding lost… these goals will help you cut through the noise and focus your practice.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why “just learning tunes” isn’t a real strategy
✅ The difference between comping, solo piano, and improv goals
✅ How setting a goal changes what you practice — and how fast you improve
✅ Why most jazz students stay stuck in limbo without realizing it
✅ How to figure out your next step based on what you want to play

This episode is perfect for self-taught players or anyone feeling overwhelmed by all the jazz content out there.
