Deena sings and accompanies herself but has always had a dream of playing in a jazz band with her husband Alan. Deena has been able to gain confidence in her comping and enjoy jamming with Alan!
Krista has taken jazz piano lessons with 5 other jazz pianists, but has given up every time. Now she's able to confidently read chords from lead sheets, and is preparing for her first jam session!
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...?

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
Pianists who want a simple and easy way to get started as a jazz pianist
People who want the RIGHT way rather than struggle for years with jazz piano "Tips and Tricks"
Pianists who want to get off the page and learn to improvise and play jazz piano
Intermediate and Advanced Pianists
Beginning and Intermediate Jazz Pianists
Jazz Vocalists wanting to accompany themselves when they perform
Jazz Instrumentalists wanting to solidify their understanding of jazz harmony
Pianists who aren't willing to follow a proven system and prefer to figure things out on your own with trial and error.
