The Jazz Piano Fundamentals Course

Learn the chords, inversions, progressions, harmonic formulas and tunes that will help you understand jazz piano. This beginner-friendly course walks you step by step from the basics until you can play real jazz standards confidently.

What's in it for you?

🎹 A solid foundation. With this, you will be able to understand and ultimately sound like the players you admire, whether that's Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, Bud Powell, etc.


πŸ’‘ You will acquire the tools to start creating your own original ideas. Instead of simply regurgitating licks or sounding like everyone else, you'll actually learn to think like a composer. Remember, jazz is about improvisation, and improvisation is composing, therefore you better learn compositional tools.


πŸ”— You will start to see similarities between songs. This is how you become fluent and develop the linguistic skills. Remember, jazz is a language. There are a handful of formulas that continue to appear in countless tunes. So yes, it seems like jazz musicians memorise thousands of songs, but in essence, they see common things in songs.


🎯 You will stop guessing. Jazz is not just about pressing keys and hoping it will sound good. I'll teach you to be intentional so that you play exactly what you intend to play.


πŸ”„ You will finally break away from playing a tune the same way every time. Often students think, 'This is how I play Autumn Leaves' β€” same key, same voicings, same style, same tempo. After this course, you will realise that everything on the page is an option. I'll teach you all these options.


πŸ•ŠοΈ You can finally play the piano freely and enjoy it, without stress or fear of making mistakes. There is a reason we call the process 'playing' the piano. It really must be fun, inventive, and ultimately satisfying.


⏱️ You'll learn to play in time and develop a real sense of flow. In this course, we practise everything with a beautiful-sounding backing track.


πŸ—ΊοΈ You'll get structure, learning everything in the most effective order. I've thought long and hard about your jazz problems, and I've also mulled over possible solutions. I've finally found the best possible order in which to learn these things. It's all yours here.


🀝 You'll find out that there is actually nothing wrong with you. There are countless students facing similar challenges and also getting personal wins everyday in the course. You'll see them all in the comments section and in the community. You can ask questions, share successes etc. Here the journey is the most important thing, not just the destination. Despite your best efforts and intentions, you ultimately cannot do this alone. Fellow humans will help you on your journey.
