Have you ever thought...
“Why does it seem like other people can learn songs by ear, but when I try I feel lost and confused?”
“I’ve spent tons of time playing songs but I have a hard time memorizing them.”
“I can improvise over a blues and other simple chord progressions, but how do I play solos that sound great over ANY jazz standard?”
Of course I'm going to say it's great (I created it, right?)
Here's what others are saying about the course!
Wayne:
“So far I love your idea of breaking it down step by step. I think it’s going to be the best course ever!!!”
Nicolas:
“I found his insight and advice spot on as always. I truly love the way Dave shares his vast knowledge in an easy, friendly, and extremely intuitive way. I could not recommend getting any of his courses more enthusiastically.”
Mladen:
"The course looks great and full of excellent tips for learning tunes. I am excited to dive into it and start applying it to new tunes I am learning.”
Here are some lies you may have been told that are getting in your way:
- You have to have perfect pitch or a really great ear to learn melodies
- There is only one way to learn new songs
- Some people just "have it" and not everyone can learn jazz standards
- You need to know hundreds of songs before ever performing for anyone or stepping on stage
- You need to put in 10,000 hours of practice before you can play jazz standards well
- You need to be an advanced improviser to memorize and solo over chord changes
Wrong, wrong, wrong! That's why I created...
How to Learn Jazz Standards
Penny said:
"I am very new to Jazz and improvisation, and this course was just what I needed to learn and memorize songs and create my own solos that actually sound musical. (Like I know what I'm doing and not just playing random stuff). Dave has a fantastic teaching style that is efficient, effective, and super fun. The lessons build on each other as Dave leads you through three different song styles. The bonus material is also a gold mine of reference material that I go back to time and time again. Well worth the money, and I highly recommend it!!"
Paul said:
"This is a fantastic course. The course is very easy to use, well organized, and very thorough. The best part is that Dave does not assume anything about the skill level of the person who wants to learn, so it is not intimidating for those new to the saxophone. There is so much to learn here!"
Matthew said:
"This course covers an excellent conceptual method of learning songs, making sure that they will STICK and also to get you improvising and creating your own melodies for any standard tune. Dave's style is clear and the course is well structured - starting with reference recordings and their importance, through vocalizing the song and taking it to your instrument, and how to make sure that each step is really successful."

“I just purchased the How to Learn Jazz Standards course by Dave Pollack and highly recommend it! This course is for you if you want to learn the best way to learn jazz standards. I am a member of Dave's Saxophone Success Community and can tell you that Dave is a great teacher, and he loves to share his knowledge and experience of playing Jazz. The course is very thorough with a lot of musical examples, and you are encouraged to have fun learning these tunes. To me, it's a no-brainer to purchase this course!”
Uwe said:
"First of all: All your teachings are absolutely precise and clear. I don't have to look in a music-theoretical book to understand your course. All steps are building one on another and so learning goes easy and in understandable steps. You always can go on where you left the lesson. Your tips are easy to follow and there is no overload with theoretical debates."
Matt said:
“Although you may know the standards included in the course, when you take the same methods to other standards, it's really going to help you learn those tunes inside out in double quick time.”
So you might be wondering what the investment is for How to Learn Jazz Standards, right?
Well, for this amount of training in 1-on-1 lessons with me you'd have to spend thousands.
There are other courses out there that are just way too complex (and end up confusing you even more) and those are $500+.
Add to that the large amount of expensive one-off individual lessons (that barely scratch the surface of what you'll learn in this step-by-step course) and you'll see that the value of this is incredibly high and this is a no-brainer, so check this out.
You won't pay thousands. You won't even pay close to $500. How to Learn Jazz Standards is only...

"I’ve been playing saxophone for over 30 years, and I’ve got to say—I loved this course! It’s not easy to find a resource that keeps things fresh and engaging, especially when you’ve been playing as long as I have, but this course absolutely delivers.
The way the material is broken down into easy-to-digest pieces makes it super approachable, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned player. And honestly, it becomes helpful immediately—you start getting value right after the first module.
If you’re serious about learning jazz standards and building your repertoire, this is the course to get. It’s practical, well-structured, and just a great tool for any saxophonist looking to grow.”
Mathias said:
“The "How to Learn Jazz Standards" course is exactly what I have been looking for for years and fits exactly my needs. The course is absolutely well structured. You will be guided by small steps how to learn and remember jazz standards. Each step (lesson) is provided by a video and examples given by Dave, and the in depth explanations and guidance is extraordinary and outstanding. For me as an amateur sax-player it is by far more than what I expected. Thank you Dave for this incredible work.”

Jim D. said:
“This is all so wonderful. Just loving your approach to teaching this art. Especially learned something from your comment that the primary goal is to get the music from the recording into your head first. Then from your head to your instrument. Helps so much!”
Lisa said:
“This course is a great way to really internalize jazz tunes, or really any tune you want to play. Dave provides a step-by-step roadmap that is easy to understand, follow, and put into action. Each module builds upon the last one so that you can’t help but know the tune inside and out when you’re done. Knowing your chords is foundational to being able to learn tunes and improvise, and this is a main theme throughout the course. Learn chords, learn chord progressions, learn tunes, and have fun!”
Christoph N. said:
This is so incredibly instructive already! I‘m so hyped for my first online course (you won against Eric Marienthal btw.). This will compliment my in person lessons very nicely and serve me as a resource for years. I will try my best to restrain my eagerness and go slow!
So what happens if you don't join?
