Charlie is warm and welcoming, making it easy to connect with him. Each lesson, he is fully engaged and meets me at my level. His voicing system is crucial for grasping the foundations of jazz piano, and it's surprising that major institutions aren't utilizing it. His teaching style is clear and digestible, and he's flexible with scheduling, making learning accessible. If you want to truly understand and feel jazz piano rather than just play, Charlie's academy is the place to be. I can't recommend him enough!

Novu Jazz Academy is an ever-growing library of jazz piano courses for aspiring jazz pianists of all levels - built on real systems designed to help you deeply understand and internalize the language of jazz.
The founder, Charlie Tran, became a jazz pianist as an adult and emphasizes systems that promote true learning and retention of the jazz language rather than collecting technical skills and concepts.
Charlie also works with select students every few months in his 1:1 coaching program, where he deeply assesses each pianist's starting point and crafts a precise, step-by-step plan for lasting transformation - targeting the core of how his students hear, understand, and express the language of jazz.See more
