It really would have helped if I learned this from you instead of bits from around the internet.

Testimonials

You took the time

Don

"I just took a look at the notation and just have to express how pleased I am with what you have done. You obviously put considerable thought and effort into this I do so appreciate it."

I signed up immediately

Yoav

"Love your web site. I discovered your site a few days ago and signed up immediately. This is exactly what I have been looking for -- a way for someone with heavy classical training (as a child) who has for many years desperately wanted to learn jazz piano but could never figure out how to (short of taking expensive weekly private lessons). Always looking forward to seeing what new stuff is added. One of the great things about your website is the structure that it provides -- as I get too far afield, your structure brings me back down to earth."

Small investment of time yields big results

Eddie

"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."
