Jason Klobnak Music

Hi, my name is Jason Klobnak and I’m a jazz musician, author, and educator that helps musicians find a better way to improvise.

What They’re Saying

Don’t take my word for it.

Here are some reviews from press, students, and customers:

I am quite impressed with this book, such a crucial technique for Jazz. Students deserve a thorough and complete book like this one

Jazz Etudes

Learning Jazz Improvisation doesn’t have to be hard. One of my recommended ways beyond my Targeting principles is to learn from etudes.
