You want to start jazz. But you don't know what to practice first.
- Method books are all explanation — your hands never move.
- YouTube lessons are scattered, and you get lost.
- You memorize chords and scales, but can't use them in songs.
- When it's time to improvise, you don't know what to play.
Jazz is free music. But the practice it takes to play freely has been confusing and hard to sustain for most people.
Jazzify rebuilds that practice as a game.
Don't just read. Play your way forward.
In Jazzify, you play real keys along with on-screen prompts. Play the right chord. Lock into the rhythm. Echo the phrase you just heard. Improvise with a limited set of notes.
You don't stop at understanding — you confirm you can play it, then move on.
It starts with the C blues.
The Main Quest is a single guided path for jazz beginners.
Instead of front-loading difficult theory, you start by improvising with just a few notes, then move gradually through chords, rhythm, and the blues progression.
No more wondering what to practice next — you learn the fundamentals of jazz by playing them.
- Improvise with a few notes
- Play chords
- Lock into rhythm
- On to the blues progression
Your first goal: play a full C blues, start to finish.
Train with purpose.
Once you have the basics from the Main Quest, keep going with courses built around specific goals.
Train the skills jazz piano demands — two-hand voicings, improvisation, chord fundamentals, and ear training — one theme at a time.
Improvisation
Start with a limited set of notes and grow your ability to create your own phrases.
Chord Fundamentals
Drill the chord shapes jazz uses most, until you can grab them reflexively.
Ear Training
Echo notes and short phrases on the keys, connecting your ears to your hands.
Same practice, different ways to play.
Chord Run
Play chords to run and jump.
Every chord you play makes your character run and jump.
Repeat chord shapes in a game until you can play them without thinking.
Survival
Play the right notes. Survive.
Attack enemies by playing the right notes and chords, and survive until time runs out.
Repetition stays focused and fun instead of turning into a chore.
Battle
Listen, then play it back.
Listen to the notes and phrases your opponent plays, then play them back on the keys.
Train the listen-and-respond reflexes that jazz demands.

Built by a working jazz pianist from real lesson experience.
Jazzify is developed by Toshio Nagayoshi, a jazz pianist and teacher who has coached more than 500 students.
What he saw again and again: many people get stuck on how to practice long before talent becomes the issue. Not knowing what to play. Not knowing if you're getting it right. Drills that don't stick.
Jazzify was created to reduce those friction points and give you a way to keep playing on your own.

Frequently asked questions
- Can beginners use Jazzify?
- Yes — if you know where the notes are on a keyboard, you can start. That said, Jazzify is not a service that teaches classical piano technique or sight-reading from scratch. It's designed so that players with little piano experience can learn chords and improvisation step by step.
- I can't read sheet music. Is that a problem?
- Not at all. Many exercises use keyboard displays and sound, so you don't need to read notation for everything. Where it helps, you'll get comfortable with notation gradually.
- Can I use an acoustic piano?
- An acoustic piano without MIDI output cannot be recognized. You need a MIDI-compatible digital piano or a MIDI keyboard.
- Can I use it on just a smartphone?
- Some exercises work with the on-screen keyboard. For serious practice, we recommend connecting a MIDI keyboard. On iPhone and iPad, you can connect one via USB using the iOS app. See MIDI on iPhone / iPad for setup steps.
- Can I use MIDI on iPhone / iPad?
- Yes. On iPhone and iPad, you can connect a MIDI keyboard via USB through the Jazzify iOS app. For setup steps and compatible gear, see MIDI on iPhone / iPad.
- Will I be charged automatically on the free plan?
- No credit card is required for the free tier. You will never be charged unless you sign up for a paid plan yourself.
- Is Jazzify useful for experienced jazz players?
- If you want game-style repetition for chord shapes, ear training, phrases, and rhythm, yes. For now, Jazzify focuses on beginner-to-intermediate playing fundamentals rather than advanced theory material.
Starting today, turn jazz from studying into playing.
You don't need to improvise freely from day one.
Play one note. Learn one chord. Then play it along with the music.
Stack up small wins, and jazz changes from "difficult music" into music you can play yourself.
