"Dude your text lessons are really brilliant and solve a particular problem elegantly. It’s the best music education value I’ve ever seen. How do you get real, substantive interaction, coaching and support from an amazing player at a price that makes it possible for anybody, without enrolling at North Texas or someplace like that? I really love this model. You’ve put together something so innovative here."
Everett Young, Pianist/Studio Member
"The text lesson studio has been an amazing resource for guiding my jazz technique and musicianship in general. I want to make a specific encouragement here for brass players who might feel skeptical of receiving lessons from a saxophonist: the exercises improved my lip flexibility, dexterity, range, endurance, and ear in ways that my trumpet-focused studies alone did not."
Sam Carlos, Trumpet/Studio Member
"Dude! I'm having a GREAT time with all the assignments you sent. I've never sounded this good!"
Jonathan Swann, Saxophonist/Studio Member
"You’ve been an outstanding mentor for me. I haven’t had any guidance in my jazz studies until I signed up for the text lessons and it has changed my playing!! Thank you!!!"
Andrew Guffey, Guitarist/Studio Member
“This program has given me a new approach to practicing that I wouldn’t normally come up with on my own. I’m already seeing immediate results!”
Mikey Vitale, Saxophonist/Studio Member
"I usually know how to go about studying but it’s so awesome that at my finger tips I can ask a question regarding a concern. I honestly love this method."
Gabriel Perez, Guitarist/Studio Member

Are Text Lessons right for beginner players?Chad is happy to work with all levels of players!

-
Are Text Lessons offered in multiple languages?Chad will only give lessons in English, but one of the reasons that the Text Lessons program has worked so well is that it allows students to copy and paste any of Chad’s answers or even their own questions into Google Translate!
-
Are these personalized lessons just for me?Yes! Your monthly lesson assignments and practice plan will be specifically assigned to you based on your entrance video, preferred topics of improvement, and your amount of practice availability. Then, each month you will continue to receive assignments based on your progress, as you will continue to send videos of your improvising and your assignments. Chad will continue adapting your assignments and practice plan according to your progress and preferences.

Can I cancel the subscription?Yes! You're welcome to cancel the subscription at any time, even during the first month. So essentially, it’s $69.99 to give it a try and see if you like it!
-
How frequent are the lessons?Assignments and practice plans will be given monthly, but you can text Chad 24/7 with questions and concerns regarding your practicing. Chad or Andrew will always reply within 24 hours!
-
Are Text Lessons appropriate for any instrument?Yes, Chad is happy to work with any melodic/pitched instrumentalist who wants to get better as a jazz musician and improviser.
-
Is this the only chance to enroll or will there be more opportunities later?This is only the third time that we have opened Chad's studio and it will not be open for long because the studio is already close to capacity. We may open enrollment again at some point, but the price of future enrollment will increase, so we suggest joining now to sample the experience at the lowest price, and to enjoy legacy pricing at the same rate if you continue your membership. Members of Chad's studio have been thrilled so far, and we will continue to add perks and benefits to your studio membership, so we think that you will love the experience and want to stick around, but if you need to end your membership for any reason, you're welcome to cancel at anytime with no questions asked!
