Beethoven To Bebop

  • 134 Lessons

You’ve mastered the art of reading music — maybe you’ve played Beethoven sonatas, Chopin nocturnes, or Debussy preludes. But when it comes to playing without the page, you aren't sure what to do.

Beethoven to Bebop is a step-by-step course to breaking free from the sheet music and developing the skills to improvise, arrange, and play with style — from classical elegance to swinging jazz and soulful blues.

Through clear video lessons, hands-on exercises, practice tracks, and downloadable pdf's, you’ll:

  • Translate your classical training into chords, lead sheets, and harmonic patterns

  • Learn the essentials of blues, jazz, and swing piano vocabulary

  • Learn to play ii–V–I progressions, rootless voicings, and walking bass lines over jazz standards

  • Improvise confidently over standards and original arrangements

  • Develop your own creative voice at the piano — no sheet music required

Whether you want to spice up your repertoire, jam with other musicians, or simply enjoy the freedom of playing what you feel, Beethoven to Bebop bridges the gap between the disciplined world of classical piano and the joy of jazz and blues.

By the end of this course, you’ll:

  • Play jazz confidently in multiple styles and tempos

  • Understand how to get that colorful "jazz sound"

  • Be able to improvise solos that sound authentic and polished

  • Have the tools to explore any style you want — your musical world will feel wide open

If you can read Mozart, you can learn to swing like Monk.
