About Jazz Everyone

This system, developed by Willie Thomas, is the culmination of his work as a player and jazz educator over the past fifty years. These lessons provide an opportunity to learn a tangible language of improv along with ear training. As a beginner, you can start playing jazz in the first lesson, and as a seasoned player, you will gain strength in your improvisational skills and learn a special jazz language system built on his “pentatonic pairs.”

We have put together 700 pages of lessons with hundreds of videos and printable study guides. Let’s get to it!

What's my level?

If you’re just starting music, getting that horn out of the attic or never played jazz, you will want to head for the Beginner’s Corner and carefully work your way through all 12 Lessons. Then, continue working through Lessons 1-12 in the Intermediate Corner.
