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 and played classical music all throughout my journey, but I always had an itch to create my own music.
Soon 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. Fast forward to today, and just in the past few years I've had the privilege of performing with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, the University of North Texas One O'Clock band, and the Glenn Miller Orchestra, to name a few, as well as countless amazing musicians in Dallas, Texas where I live. I've earned degrees in classical and jazz piano performance from the University of North Texas, and I've been the recipient of several awards, including the Yamaha Award at the American Jazz Pianist Competition and First Prize at the Ravenscroft International 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, starting jazz this way usually hurts more than it helps. 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.
Since I began teaching The Jazz Piano Launchpad course to my students, I've been able to help 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. Understand how to actually teach improvisation to their own 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!
