Jazz piano can be extremely lonely and isolating.
I’ve noticed this in my own emotional reflection through out my journey and based on what students have expressed to me through out the years.
It’s just down right mentally hard.
99% of the time you’re by yourself, isolated from others, you have no idea if what you’re doing is even correct, you have no idea if what you’re practicing is actually what you should be practicing, and then you hear the voices pop up in your head.
“I’m not good enough.”
“I can’t do this.”
“I don’t have enough talent.”
“Why am I even trying. Just give up.”
“I wasn’t made for this.”
And how does this make us feel?
I’ll tell you EXACTLY how I used to feel….downright terrible!
I felt awful constantly.
I felt discouraged.
I cried a lot.
I was angry, mad, sad, depressed.
Every time I went to sit at the piano I was stressed and wanted to quit.
Can you relate at all?
Your feelings might not be as visceral as mine but I’m sure a lot of you out there reading this right now are saying…”Yup, this is exactly how I feel.”
And now for the MAIN EVENT!
I have one phrase for you.
“Better, Together”.
It’s taken us over a year of hard, HARD work, but in this brand new release of JPS 4.0 we have a BEAUTIFUL new community available for you…
This next perk that comes with the Black Box offer is the MOST valuable of all.
More so than any of the education you will receive.
Why is that?
Because if you feel so depressed and discouraged that you quit…then there is no hope for you.
No amount of education can inspire you and motivate you to keep going.
But do you know what can?
Community.
Introducing…perk #5.
