Jazz Piano Group Classes

  • Approach and Curriculum

    Each week’s class is based on a tune which we use as a base to explore different aspects ranging from voicings, melodic delivery, improvisation, language and harmony.

    What you can expect to learn:

    Level 1-2: Classic jazz piano voicings (shells, rootless); Jazz harmony (‘7’ chords); Scales (pentatonic, blues, mixolydian); Application of scales and different techniques to improvisation; Playing by ear; Swing rhythm; Transcribing solos

    Level 2-3: Bebop melodies; Two-handed voicings (block chords, drop 2), More jazz harmony; Other important scales; Walking bass; Solo piano; Other grooves

    Each class is capped at 4 students. Observers are welcome. Recommended experience: Grade 5 piano or equivalent
