The 15 Minute Jazz Practice System
Jazz Warmups
A Six Week Guided Practice Plan for Busy Adult Jazz Players Who Want to Sound Better Without Overthinking
A Smarter Way to Practice Jazz When Time Is Limited
If you’re an adult jazz player who wants to practice — but feels scattered, overwhelmed, or unsure what to work on — this system was built for you.
You don’t need longer practice sessions.
You don’t need more theory.
You don’t need more material.
You need clarity.
The Real Problem Isn’t Time — It’s Decision Fatigue
Most adult jazz players don’t struggle because they lack motivation.
They struggle because every practice session starts with too many decisions:
What should I work on today?
Am I warming up “correctly”?
Should I be playing scales, tunes, licks, or time feel?
How much is enough?
By the time you decide, half your energy is already gone.
The 15-Minute Jazz Practice System removes those decisions.
It gives you a clear, repeatable structure you can rely on — even on your busiest days.
What This System Is (and Is Not)
This is not:
🎶a massive jazz theory course
🎶a membership
🎶a collection of random exercises
🎶a “practice more” mindset program
This is:
🎶a one-time eBook
🎶a daily 15-minute practice structure
🎶a 6-week guided path
🎶a foundation you can reuse long-term
It’s designed to help you sound better by focusing on the few things that matter most in jazz playing.
Why 15 Minutes Actually Works
Focused practice beats long, unfocused sessions every time.
When time is limited, the highest-impact areas are:
tone
time feel
harmonic clarity
simple improvisational fluency
This system is built around the smallest set of activities that produce the biggest results, making it ideal for daily use — even when life gets busy.
What’s Inside
The Daily 15-Minute Practice Structure
Every session is divided into three clear parts:
-
You’ll rotate between three long-tone warmups based on real jazz tunes:
Sonnymoon for Two
Confirmation
Bluesette
These use guide tones (3rds and 7ths) to improve:
tone
pitch
ear training
harmonic awareness
You simply play the written lines as long tones — no analysis required.
You’ll also work on time feel using structured exercises and backing tracks to develop a relaxed, confident swing feel.
-
Instead of memorizing dozens of licks, you’ll work deeply with two ii–V⁷ vocabulary lines:
one major ii–V⁷ enclosure
one minor ii7(b5)–V7(b9) line (inspired by JJ Johnson)
You’ll learn how to:
practice them efficiently
move them through a few keys (not all 12 at once)
transform them into your own language
This builds usable jazz vocabulary without overwhelm.
-
Improvisation improves fastest when complexity is reduced.
You’ll practice over:
a Dm7 → G7 flow
a Bb blues flow
Using a step-by-step process:
chord tones only
add passing tones
add bebop language
combine everything naturally
This builds confidence, swing feel, and musical direction — without pressure.
-
You don’t just get exercises — you get structure.
The system includes a full 6-week guided plan that shows you:
what to focus on each week
when to rotate exercises
how to increase depth without adding stress
how to personalize the system by Week 5–6
You’ll also receive:
printable practice trackers
weekly checklists
daily reflection pages
confidence tracking tools
These are designed to help you stick with the process, not just start it.
Who This Is For
This system is ideal for:
adult jazz learners
busy professionals and hobbyists
intermediate players who feel stuck or scattered
musicians returning to jazz after time away
classical musicians transitioning into jazz
If you want a calmer, clearer way to practice — this will fit into your life.
How People Use This in Real Life
Players use this system:
before rehearsals
before jam sessions
alongside private lessons
as a reset after burnout
as a daily jazz warmup routine
You can also extend sessions to 30–45 minutes by adding tunes — the structure still holds.

FAQs
Is this an eBook, a course, or a membership?
This is a one-time purchase eBook that gives you a clear, repeatable jazz practice system.
There are no logins, no subscriptions, and no ongoing commitments. You download the materials and use them at your own pace.
Do I need to understand jazz theory to use this?
No.
The exercises are designed so you can play the written material first and let your ear do the work. The focus is on sound, time, and feel — not analysis.
Theory concepts are explained simply where helpful, but they’re not required to benefit from the system.
Will this help my improvisation?
Yes — but indirectly, which is often more effective.
By improving tone, time feel, harmonic awareness, and vocabulary clarity, your improvisation becomes more confident and intentional without forcing it.
What if I miss days or fall behind?
That’s expected.
This system is designed for real life. Missing days does not mean you’ve failed — you simply pick up where you left off. Consistency over time matters far more than perfection.
I still have a question — can I ask you directly?
Yes. You’re always welcome to reply to the purchase confirmation email or contact me directly. I’m happy to help you decide if this system is right for you.
How much time do I need each day?
The core routine is designed to fit into 15 minutes.
If you only have 5–10 minutes, the system still works — you simply start with the warmups and build from there. Consistency matters far more than length.
What instruments is this written for?
The concepts apply to all instruments, and you can easily adapt them to your range and clef. This is written with horns and melodic instruments in mind, but can also be used in a class setting for all instruments.
How long will this system last me?
The system includes a guided 6-week practice path, but it’s designed to be reused long-term.
Many players return to it whenever practice starts to feel scattered or unfocused.
Is there a guarantee?
This system is built to provide clarity and structure, not quick fixes.
If you follow the routine consistently for a couple of weeks, you should feel more grounded and confident in your practice.
What level is this for?
This system is best suited for:
adult jazz learners
intermediate players
classical musicians transitioning into jazz
players who feel stuck or scattered in their practice
If you’re brand new to your instrument, you may want to pair this with basic fundamentals instruction. If you’re an advanced professional looking for deep harmonic theory, this system may feel intentionally simple.
Do I need a backing track or metronome?
A metronome is helpful but not required.
Backing tracks are included for all exercises.
Can I use this alongside private lessons or ensembles?
Absolutely.
This system works very well:
before rehearsals
before jam sessions
alongside private instruction
as a warmup or reset
It’s meant to support — not replace — other musical work.
How do I receive the materials?
After purchase, you’ll receive immediate access to the downloadable PDF and supporting materials.
