Name your 2026 jazz goal (I'll share mine first)


Reader,

If you could achieve ONE breakthrough in your jazz playing in 2026, what would it be?

  • Improvising with freedom and creativity?
  • Comping the changes in a trio?
  • Building a repertoire you can play anytime, anywhere?
  • Making music, not just playing exercises?

Name it. Write it down. Make it real.

I'm sharing mine in the community #general room this week. My goal for 2026 is to master Bill Evans style voicings.

Declaring your goal publicly changes everything. It makes it real. It gives you accountability. And you'll be surrounded by people working toward the same thing.

Here's what worked in 2025.

The students who grew the most came to the workshops every week and applied my RPM practice method to their daily practice. But on top of that, they were active in the community, sharing their progress and supporting others.

That's the formula. And it's how we're making your 2026 goals a reality.

Mark your calendar: Our 2026 kickoff is January 9th featuring special guest Joe Alterman. This is where your breakthrough begins.

You're already on the RSVP list. See you Friday, Jan 9, at 1:00 Eastern.

2025 was an incredible year for us. Thank so so much for your support as I continue to lead my incredible team who puts all this together. I am grateful for you, and proud of all you've accomplished.

Happy practicing.

Josh Walsh
