How to train to become a jazz pianist.
First I would suggest that you listen to the old time jazz. Listen as much as you can.
The reason why I suggest the older time jazz is becaues it has a structure that is well defined both in terms of chords and melody.
Lets take an example of a song. The standards are the best old type jazz songs.
So an example such as As Time Goes bye... now that is a great jazz song,, or tenderly,
or Days of wine and roses. Wow , what music,, I dont call the so called new jazz jazz.
It sounds like the musicians are taking out their frustrations while performing.
Besides listening you must learn to read music, play all scales, arps, work on technique,
understand harmony and theory, chord movements, progressions, transcription and on and on. Its an art form that can be learned. But with a lot of dedication.
You might ask yourself,, heh , where can I study to be a jazz pianist that can teach me
all the requirements in becoming a good jazz pianist.
Answer,, you can study with my course, and its free, at
