Jazz can be learned!
After 25 years of international performances as a jazz pianist and educator, I am sharing my exclusive method of teaching authentic jazz piano.
This course takes you through the exact method I use with my private students and it is clear, concise and will have you playing authentic jazz piano in record time!
● How to read a lead sheet
● How to play a variety of chord qualities in 12 keys
● How to interpret jazz rhythms, including back beat, swing feel and phrasing
● How to walk a bass line
● How to comp (playing chords in a rhythmic manner)
● How to play great jazz piano voicings (choosing different chord tones and extensions to create a different harmonic landscape)
● How to play a Ballad, a Bossa Nova and other Latin styles
● How to improvise in the jazz style at the piano!
