After more than a decade of running Jazz Piano School, I hit a wall.
Hundreds of courses, thousands of lessons… and still, something felt off.

Students were overwhelmed. I was, too.
Somewhere along the way, the heart of it — the simplicity, the joy, the clarity — got buried under the weight of too much content.

So I did something drastic.
I stopped, tore it all down, and rebuilt Jazz Piano School from the ground up.

In this episode, I’m sharing that story — why I made the change, what I learned, and how this rebuild led to the creation of something completely new:
🎹 The Proficient Jazz Pianist System — a structured path through the three most important jazz piano goals:

  1. Comping

  2. Solo Piano

  3. Improvisation

If you’ve ever felt stuck, uninspired, or unsure where to start in jazz piano… this is for you.

And if you’ve been part of the Jazz Piano School community for a while — thank you.
Your feedback, your practice, and your passion are what shaped this next chapter.

Something special is coming soon for Black Friday — a chance to join early and get lifetime access to everything I’ve been rebuilding.

Stay tuned.


🎶 Mentioned in this episode:

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.

Still not sure what to practice?

The Jazz Piano Roadmap shows you how jazz pianists actually progress — with a clear, goal-based path for comping, solo piano, and improvisation.

If jazz piano has ever felt scattered or overwhelming, this will finally make it easy.
