So You Always Know Exactly What to Practice

Do you struggle with what to practice, in what order, or how much is enough?

The Studio Membership at the Jazz Improv Institute exists to solve one clear problem:

How to practice jazz improvisation efficiently — in just 15 minutes a day — and still make real musical progress.

No overwhelm. No guessing. No wasted practice time.

This Membership Is For You If…

  • You love jazz, but feel scattered in your practice

  • You don’t want another massive course you’ll never finish

  • You want daily structure, not pressure

  • You’re a busy adult musician who wants consistent progress

  • You learn best by playing, not watching endless videos

If you’ve ever thought, “I know I should practice… I just don’t know what to work on,” you’re in the right place.

What You Get Inside the Studio Membership

Every weekday, you’ll receive a focused, playable jazz practice assignment, including:

  • Daily jazz lick or concept

  • Backing tracks so you can apply it immediately

  • Audio coaching explaining what to listen for

  • Practice-ready music — no setup required

Plus:

  • Weekly virtual check-ins for accountability

  • Full access to the Jazz Improv Institute PDF & backing track library (updated weekly)

  • Improv Insight newsletter with practical jazz ideas

  • A private practice community where you can:

    • Post videos of your playing

    • Tag moderators for feedback

    • Share what you’re working on

    • Learn from other dedicated players

How It Works (Simple by Design)

  1. Open the app

  2. See exactly what to practice that day

  3. Play the lick over the backing track

  4. Post your video (optional, encouraged)

  5. Get feedback and keep moving forward

That’s it.

Decision fatigue is over.
You never have to ask, “What should I practice today?” again.

Why This Works (When Other Methods Don’t)

At the Jazz Improv Institute, we believe:

Short, consistent daily practice beats long, irregular sessions every time.

This is micro-learning for jazz musicians.

  • No binge-watching

  • No cramming

  • No guilt if you miss a day

If you’re busy, you simply catch up when you can. The material is always there, waiting for you.

This is the opposite of overwhelm.

A True Community of Jazz Learners

This isn’t just content — it’s a living studio.

You’ll be encouraged to:

  • Share progress

  • Ask questions

  • Learn by listening to others

  • Stay motivated through weekly emails

Jazz is a language — and languages are learned best together.

Meet the Creator: Shannon Gunn

Hi, I’m Shannon. I’ve been a professional jazz trombone player for over 15 years, with performance credits including:

  • The Kennedy Center

  • DC Jazz Festival

  • Teaching jazz at the college level for 4 years

After coaching hundreds of students, I kept hearing the same thing:

  • “What can I play over a ii V7?”

  • “What should I play over a V7?”

  • “What are some ideas over a minor ii7(b5) V7(b9) i?”

So I built a resource for all improvisers—from the ground up.

I am endorsed by Conn Selmer and play a Bach 16M New York Model. I play on a Greg Black mouthpiece.
