I'm Owen Chimuka. I help busy adult pianists, especially late starters or returning players, go from feeling stuck with their theoretical knowledge to feeling confident, free, and creative at the piano through jazz improvisation. This enables them to sound authentic, have fun every time they sit at the keyboard, and fully express their own musical ideas.

Most people don’t struggle with jazz because they’re “not talented.”
They struggle because they skipped the fundamentals.
That’s exactly why I created Jazz Piano Fundamentals — to help you understand:
• how chords are built
• how tunes are composed
• how to play in time
The 40% discount is still active.

🎹 Quick note for anyone learning jazz piano
I’ve extended the Jazz Piano Fundamentals sale for a few more days.
Simply use the code CHRISTMAS to get 40% off.
This course is for pianists who feel overwhelmed by jazz and want a clear, structured foundation — scales, chords, harmony, and how it all actually fits together.
If jazz has felt confusing or messy… this is where things start to make sense.

🔔 Bluesy Jingle Bells! 🎹
I just shared a new tutorial showing how to make Jingle Bells swing using simple blues and jazz piano techniques!
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to:
✅ Add syncopation to create a swinging groove
✅ Play a boogie-style bass that drives the tune
✅ Use blue notes to give it that jazzy feel
✅ Turn a familiar Christmas song into something fun, musical, and playable
These ideas come straight from the same thinking I teach in my Jazz Piano Fundamentals course — so you can apply them to any tune.

Lesson to take into 2026:
Last night, I took my family to the opera house here in Budapest, and it was a powerful reminder of something I believe deeply:
Jazz musicians — don’t limit or box yourselves.
You can learn from every style and genre.
Classical music, in particular, is one of the most sophisticated traditions there is — the attention to detail, sound, balance, phrasing, and discipline is on another level.
And here’s the truth:
👉 Studying classical music will improve your jazz playing in multiple ways — touch, sensitivity, dynamics, listening, harmony, and musical maturity.
As we head into 2026, stay open.
Explore different worlds.
Let great music shape you, not confine you.
That’s how real growth happens 🎹✨

🎅 Holiday Jazz! 🎹
Just dropped a new tutorial showing how to turn Santa Claus Is Coming to Town into a jazzy, musical arrangement!
In this video, we focus on:
✅ Seeing the song as chord progressions, not isolated chords
✅ Using turnarounds and backdoor dominants to create smooth movement
✅ Understanding the form of the tune so it’s easy to memorise
✅ Turning a simple Christmas song into something jazzy you can actually play
If you want to jazz up a classic tune and learn the same thinking I teach in my Jazz Piano Fundamentals course, this one’s for you.
Comment below: Which Christmas song should I jazz up next? 🎹✨
