Frequently Asked Questions
How often are Jazz Piano Skills Podcast Episodes released?
I produce and publish a new Jazz Piano Skills 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, Audible, Pandora, Google Podcasts, and many others) or you can listen at JazzPianoSkillsPodcast.com.
Why choose Jazz Piano Skills over Youtube Videos?
I’ll start with my credentials. I am a professional jazz pianist and educator with 30+ years of professional 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.

What are Podcast Packets?
The Podcast Packets are study and practice aids designed to maximize your musical growth. Three Podcast Packets (illustrations, lead sheets, play alongs) are developed for every weekly JazzPianoSkills Podcast Episode. The Podcast Packets are published using the standard PDF format for convenient access and downloading ease.
The Illustration Packet includes beautifully designed diagrams of the jazz piano skill being taught using a variety of detailed graphics for proper conceptual development.
The Lead Sheets Packet includes multiple presentations of the jazz piano skill being taught using standard musical notation; a familiar and traditional format great for developing reading skills as well.
The Play Alongs Packet places the jazz piano skill into a musical context and ensemble setting. The audio files are perfect for developing essential jazz skills; time, articulation, and aural skills. Multiple keys and tempos are always explored.
The Podcast Packets present a comprehensive approach to discover, learn, and play the jazz piano skill being taught in the weekly Podcast Episode.

How long is each Jazz Piano Skills 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.
