What's Included In The Jazz Piano Launchpad
Meet Your Instructor
My name is Michael and I've been playing piano for as long as I can remember.
I started with traditional piano lessons (with my mom) and played music by Bach, Mozart, and Chopin, just like many of you.
Eventually I became interested in jazz, especially pianists like Bill Evans, Gene Harris, and Keith Jarrett, but because I was already taking classical piano lessons, I had to learn on my own. Just in the past few years I've had the privilege of performing with the University of North Texas One O'Clock band, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and the Glenn Miller Orchestra, to name a few, as well as amazing colleagues in the Dallas/Fort Worth jazz scene where I live. I've earned degrees in classical and jazz piano performance from the University of North Texas, and even recently I was the winner of the inaugural Ravenscroft Jazz Piano Competition.
Throughout my journey as a jazz pianist, I've had the great opportunity to help other pianists become improvisers and to start playing jazz, and guess what the #1 thing I've learned is...?
👉 You don't need to learn every chord voicing, every scale or mode, or transcribe every solo that [insert favorite jazz pianist] ever played to be able to enjoy playing jazz and love your own playing... In fact, usually it hurts more than helps when you're just starting out. Once you understand and the fundamentals of jazz harmony, rhythm, and have a simple way to start improvising, you are ready to play jazz!
AND THAT RIGHT THERE is what inspired me to create The Jazz Piano Launchpad, the best and most effective way to help pianists quickly develop the skills they need to play jazz piano whether they've been trying to learn for a few years or they've just started today.
But I get it, you probably don't really care about who I am and why I created this course... Right now, all you care about is CAN I ACTUALLY HELP YOU! Well, since I began teaching the Jazz Piano Launchpad course to my students, and helping pianists:
1. Host and attend their first jam sessions
2. Join their first band
3. Win auditions with their dream music schools (IU-Bloomington, CCM, UNT)
4. Teach improv to their own piano students...
People are blown away at how quickly and easily they can learn jazz piano when they follow a proven step-by-step process that is simple and easy to understand. I hope you're as excited as I am for you to begin this journey! I hope to meet you soon in our Jazz Piano Launchpad community!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I play the piano well enough to enroll in The Jazz Piano Launchpad?
Any level of pianist can take this course and be successful if you watch all of the videos and complete all of the practice assignments. However, you will progress much faster if you already play the piano at an intermediate level and can play major scales comfortably.
How long do I have access to the program & when does it start?
This course includes lifetime access to the videos in The Jazz Piano Launchpad! All content is available today. The course will continue being revised and upgraded to answer any FAQs that come up as students take the course.
Can't I learn all of this on Youtube?
Yes, you could technically learn many similar things by spending hours watching YouTube videos. However, you would not be able to achieve the same results that my students have achieved, simply because you don't have a clear, step-by-step way to progress from one learning activity to another.
Is there a guarantee?
Absolutely! The Jazz Piano Launchpad has a 7-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. If you are not completely SATISFIED with the The Jazz Piano Launchpad Program, then contact us within 7 Days for a full refund, no questions asked!
