How to Play Jazz Piano



Jazz music has always been admired by both musician and non-musicians for it’s expressiveness and the virtuosity required to play it.


To the uninitiated, the language of jazz seems almost incomprehensible. But the truth is, Jazz is governed by a relatively small number rules. Our How to Play Jazz Piano lessons examine these rules and break them down into smaller bite-sized chunks so they are easily understandable by the intermediate musician. Even advanced musician unfamiliar (or even perplexed) with these concepts will value these lessons.


And our Jazz Improv lessons show you how to use this knowledge and apply it to any style of music that you play. Adventurous improviser and accredited composer Landon Knoblock, who was recognized with honors from the University of Miami in Jazz Pedagogy, explains these Jazz lessons in a personable and appealing manner as they apply to guitar, horns, bass, keyboards and every other chromatic instrument.

Plus (but you didn’t hear it here), we’ll also show you the secrets that pros use. There is some smoke and mirrors in improvisation Jazz solos, little tricks that are easy to implement and sound extremely authentic. And we’re not afraid to show you what they are. Some musicians take years of lessons hoping to learn these secrets, and some teachers never give them up!


Your solos will take on new depth and complexity, yet you’ll be amazed at how easy it all was to learn.
