Frequently Asked Questions
How often are JazzPianoSkills Podcast Episodes released?
I produce and publish a new JazzPianoSkills Podcast Episode (Lesson) every week. The lessons I teach cover a variety of jazz piano skills (improvisation, voicings, technique, transcriptions, tune study, theory, and more). Each episode (lesson) is typically 45 to 60 minutes in length. You can follow JazzPianoSkills on any of the popular podcast directories (Apple Podcast, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, Google Podcasts, and many others) or you can listen at JazzPianoSkillsPodcast.com.
Why choose JazzPianoSkills over Youtube Videos?
I’ll start with my credentials. I am a professional jazz pianist and educator with 30+ years of playing and teaching experience. I hold a Doctorate degree in music from the University of North Texas (considered by many the best collegiate jazz program in the world, which it is).
My educational weekly Podcast, Podcast Packets, Sequential Curriculum with Interactive Courses, Online Classes, and Private Community provide you with premium educational content in a learning environment that is aesthetically pleasing and instinctually easy to use. They move you beyond “academic theory” and towards the practical “application and mastery” of essential jazz piano skills needed for performance.
To become an accomplished jazz musician, you need to discover the essential jazz piano skills (awareness), learn essential jazz piano skills (assimilation), and play essential jazz piano skills (application). It’s hard to accomplish any one of the three by immersing yourself in the plethora of random thoughts being professed through video on YouTube. All of my educational materials are educationally profound and professionally produced. JazzPianoSkills does not promise “30-day results”. It is not a short cut. It is a legitimate Jazz Piano Program designed to help you become an accomplished jazz pianist.
You will not find any group of random videos comparable to my educational weekly Podcast, Podcast Packets, Sequential Curriculum with Interactive Courses, and Online Classes on YouTube or any other social media site.

How long is each JazzPianoSkills Course?
It varies for each individual because my courses and lessons are designed using a self-paced format. Each of my courses and lessons explores (in-depth), a specific professional jazz piano skill in all 12 keys.
Each course consists of three comprehensive lessons (Discover, Learn, and Play). The Discover Lesson introduces you to the jazz piano skill with an extensive Educational Talk. The Learn Lesson provides interactive media so you can gain a conceptual command of the jazz piano skill. The Play Lesson presents twelve video demonstration of the jazz piano skill in all twelve keys.
The command and mastery of the jazz piano skills explored in each lesson take time and are not completed in one or two weeks. The consistency of your study will determine the length of your journey through the entirety of each course. On average, students will spend anywhere from 2 to 4 months becoming proficient with the jazz piano skill studied in a single course.
