Ever feel like you should be further along by now — in your playing, your work, or your life?

I feel that way too.

In this audio-only episode, I share one simple reminder I come back to whenever progress feels slower than I expected. It’s something I see constantly with jazz piano students — and something I have to practice myself just as much.

I also share a few important updates about the current structure of Jazz Piano School and why I’ve simplified everything around one clear path forward.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • Why we consistently underestimate how long meaningful progress takes
  • How rushing the process often creates more frustration, not better results
  • What real, sustainable growth actually looks like over time
  • The mindset shift that helps you stay patient and consistent
  • Why Proficient Jazz Pianist (PJP) is now the single starting point inside Jazz Piano School

This is a reflective episode — less about tactics, more about perspective. If you’ve been feeling behind, stuck, or discouraged, this one’s meant to steady you and help you keep going.

New To Jazz Piano?

Most jazz pianists aren’t stuck because they’re lazy — they’re stuck because they don’t have a path.
The Jazz Piano Roadmap shows you exactly what to practice and in what order.

About Us

Jazz Piano School was created by Brenden Lowe to help pianists stop guessing what to practice and start making real progress at the piano.

Everything here is built around a clear path for the skills that matter most:
comping, solo piano, and improvisation.

The starting point is The Proficient Jazz Pianist — the core step-by-step system that lays the foundation for confident playing.
From there, students can continue into the Jazz Piano School Membership, which builds on that foundation with live learning, deeper study, and community support.
