If you have any questions please leave them in comments section and I will respond personally!
I’m extremely excited to announce the release of the Intermediate Course. Let me tell you, this one was well worth the work. I did lose about 20 videos in the process that I needed to refilm. My wireless mike gave out on me. But enough complaining! It’s done! And it will be available only to the VIP Email List at a special Early Bird Price!

What is in the intermediate course and can it help me?
Well of course it can! The information contained in the Intermediate course is the exact material that 90% of all students need to practice in order to get better. Usually when someone comes to me for help, I end up giving them everything contained in this course and some fundamentals from the beginner course, (which you will also have access too).
Why is this content different from any other books, dvds, online courses, or private lessons?
The content in this course is the combined collection of everything I have learned at the New School University from the best professors in the world, my 15 years of experience teaching in Universities, giving masterclass’, and teaching private students, as well as everything I’ve learned playing gigs, concerts and solo performances.
Simply put, there is literally no course out there today giving you this kind of in depth step by step, structured learning on jazz piano. I’ve disassembled everything into the smallest building blocks which you can learn and put together on your own to ensure you make progress.
Most resources out there are all a la carte. Meaning you sign up, or purchase your resource then are left to navigate all the information on your own! Like…what?!! How does that work?
That’s like wandering through a forest at night, without a flash light, trying to find lego pieces to put together. I believe impossible is the correct word. No wonder people aren’t making progress.
And unfortunately most studio’s hire teachers that took one class in college on piano and are now teaching you. Crazy right?! Yes this actually happens.
Why do you think they never have a plan for you? Want to know a good question to ask your teacher to see how skilled they are? Ask them what they plan to teach you in 2 months? If they say I don’t know then I would think about JPS as your best option.
Now of course there are some phenomenal teachers out there in some places, but trust me, this is very rare. Most teachers have no idea how to actually “TEACH” you how to consistently get better.
What is the JPS system?
The JPS System is a teaching method I developed through my years of experience. I needed away to combine all the informational concepts into a road map for my students to understand. I eventually landed on four categories which all fit together.
Everything in jazz piano education will fall under one of these categories and they’re different components under each. If you are missing one of these categories in your jazz education then you’re probably not making great progress. You might even be learning them in the improper order. This happens a lot when people learn from a slew of different resources. Youtube, books, vidoes, different teachers.
You can’t but help to feel overwhelmed.
What exactly does the course consist of?
The intermediate course contains 167 videos all filmed personally by myself. A 1500 page Practice Exercise book which will be yours to keep forever. A 300 page workbook which will be yours to keep forever. A 214 page page Lesson Text Reference which will be yours to keep forever.
All of these resources are combined to help ensure you make consistent and steady progress.
There are two ways to access the materials. You can simply access the library which is what most people are used to. Search through the categories and find which topic you need help with the most.
The most popular way is to use the “Journey Option”, which will tell you exactly where to start, what to practice, and what step to go to next. No guesswork, no searching, no questions. A straight forward path to success.
NEW to members is the Private Facebook Group Access. I will personally be engaging on this group to help answer questions and offer encouragement to everybody. I will be assigning experienced moderators to help out with the newer members. This way everyone is helping each other to form a positive community.
Do you have a contents list of the course?
Why, yes! Click on the image below for a complete contents list of the course.
How do I know if I’m an intermediate player?
Like I said before, 90% of all people will fall into this category and if it is too advanced, you will gain access to the beginner course with the intermediate entrance. This way you can work your way up through the beginner steps and into the intermediate material.
How much does the intermediate course cost?
I’m not releasing any pricing until Saturday, May 2nd @ 10:30 which is when the Course will be live. I will tell you, anyone on the email list will be give a SUBSTANTIAL early bird discount and bonus’ before I release the course to the public! So again, join the email list above to receive the discounts.
Do you have more questions?
I will personally be answering any and all questions if you leave them in comments below!
Thank you all for your constant support and encouragement. Couldn’t have done it without all my followers and fans. You are all amazing!

Will this course only B on the computer, or will there B hard copies with books. Because I’m not that computer savvy. Really OLD SCHOOL (68yrs).
Hi Larry,
Unfortunately this course is only online. I might think about creating hard copies in the future. I’ll be more than happy to help you navigate through the online course. Beginner members have said its quite easy. Thanks for your question!
Will you offer an option to buy both the beginner and intermediate material?
Yes! Every none member who joins will get access to the Intermediate, Beginner and posssssibly pre access to the Advanced material being released later this year, (hint, hint).
Current Beginner members will have an upgrade option.
Thanks for the question. Feel free to ask away!
Will those who already have the beginners course be getting an even more special deal ? 🙂
Hey Mike,
Yes, anyone who has purchased the Beginner Course or is a current member will receive an upgrade offer. Thanks for the question!
Have you considered special pricing for lifetime access?
Looking forward to this. Been working my way through the beginner course and seen tremendous improvements. It is a lot to get through, but incredibly helpful.
My calendar says 5-2-15, but I haven’t seen the release. Is there a delay or does 10:30 pst mean at night? Either way, count me in and I will check back after walking the dog tonight.
Nice Brandon. Did you cover Stride? One of the basic essentials for solo piano playing. Usage of 10ths or moveable shells in left hand, using passing tones. To provide a full sound and pads for the right hand.
Thanks Joey, and yes stride is covered. It is broken down into those elements that you described. There are a bunch of steps that cover 10ths and voicing leading 3 note 10ths through 2-5-1s and isolated as well as the moveable shells with passing tons. That’s the great stuff!
Would love have to write again for the blog. I’ll contact you personally.
Hello Brenden,
I run the CMEA Central Section Jazz festival and I would love to have you come and spend two days judging and giving clinics to our students. CMEA pays $700 for the two- day festival plus 2 nights in a hotel up to $125 per night.
The dates of the festival are March 28-29, 2019 and it’s located in Hanford. For this festival, there are 4 judges. Each judge will clinic a group every 4 performances. It’s a super awesome festival and I hope you will be available.
Please get back to me ASAP so I can arrange to get a contract for you. I will also need your mailing address and phone number.
Thanks very much!
Lisa
