Testimonials
"When I discovered the free lesson with the "5 Essential 7th chords" I immediately made that lesson a sort of warmup exercise that has also helped me get a quick grasp on the 5 most important chords to get started on Jazz piano. I had done something similar on guitar, but had never visualized it like you did to piano. Thanks for a truly wonderful website! I have learned tons in just a small amount of time." -Eddie
