Tired of practicing for hours and still not sounding like the jazz pianist you want to be?
In this episode, I’m breaking down the 5 practice habits that completely transformed my playing — and can do the same for you.
These aren’t surface-level tips. These are the real mindset and practice shifts that helped me move from overwhelmed and inconsistent… to confident, creative, and in control of my sound.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why practicing fewer things — with more depth — unlocks faster progress
✅ How to build “go-to moves” that give you freedom on the bandstand
✅ Why slow, focused repetition (not variety) leads to mastery
✅ The importance of “musical reps” over technical drills
✅ How to stay consistent and motivated, even with limited time
Whether you’re a beginner or an intermediate player stuck in a plateau, these habits will give you a clear path to better results — and more joy at the piano.
Still feel like your jazz piano practice is scattered?
Most jazz pianists aren’t stuck because they’re not practicing enough — they’re stuck because they’re working on too many disconnected things at once.
The Proficient Jazz Pianist gives you a clear, step-by-step path for mastering the three skills that actually matter:
comping, solo piano, and improvisation.
Instead of random exercises, you’ll know exactly what to practice, in what order, and how it all fits together musically.
