Jazz Chord Reference Handbook + Masterclass Bundle

A structured, authoritative 12-week hybrid program combining a 200-page physical reference handbook (rules-first, not theory-first) with 24 live group masterclasses where a working jazz educator systematically decodes chord notation conventions, then applies them to real lead sheets and recordings. Learners work through actual jazz standards, not abstract exercises.

COURSE

28 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Replaces scattered forum answers and dense theory textbooks with ONE authoritative source written by a working jazz musician who explains the *why* behind notation rules (e.g., why Cm13 uses natural 13th, not flatted). Physical handbook stays on the stand; live masterclasses create accountability and peer learning that solo courses lack.

Target Audience

Intermediate music students (ages 16-45) and semi-professional musicians actively playing jazz or studying it seriously; music teachers seeking authoritative material to teach from.

Key Features

  • 200-page reference handbook organized by chord type (triads, 7ths, extensions, alterations) with visual chord diagrams and notation examples
  • 24 live 90-minute masterclasses (2x/week over 12 weeks) taught by a working jazz educator, recorded for lifetime access
  • Real lead sheet decoding: students bring actual jazz standards and learn to read/construct chords in context
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Original Problem

Musicians struggle to understand jazz chord theory and notation conventions

Musicians and music students frequently encounter confusing chord notation rules (like why Cm13 uses A natural instead of A♭) that aren't clearly explained in standard music education. Current resources scattered across forums and textbooks fail to provide systematic, authoritative explanations for these harmonic conventions, leaving learners frustrated and unable to confidently read or construct complex chords.
