What are you actually trying to accomplish as a jazz pianist?
After teaching thousands of students over the years, I’ve found that almost every player shares the same three goals:
• Learn to comp with confidence
• Play beautiful solo piano arrangements
• Improvise freely and naturally
The challenge isn’t deciding what you want—it’s knowing the right order to learn it.
In this episode, I share the learning hierarchy I’ve developed and why organizing your practice around goals instead of random topics can completely transform your progress.
We’ll discuss:
• Why comping and voicings are the foundation of jazz piano
• The three styles every solo pianist should develop
• The difference between solo piano improvisation and group improvisation
• Why most students feel overwhelmed by trying to learn everything at once
• How focusing on one goal at a time leads to faster, more meaningful progress
If you’ve ever wondered where to focus your practice or why your progress feels scattered, this episode will help you build a clearer path forward.
