Hi everyone, I'm offering free access to my jazz piano course on Skillshare. You can get two months free using the link below and you help me earn $10 so its a win-win. The course is aimed at beginners and covers, voicings, bass-lines, bebop language, blues and more. The focus is on the sound rather than just presenting the theory. It offers practical advice on how to practice and best of all, it comes with a book. Not bad for free!

I'm working on a new course for intermediate and advanced pianists - let me know if you want me to include any particular topics.

Thanks for the wonderful response to the Monthly Jazz Piano Online class. It is looking like we have enough people to run two classes, one beginner jazz piano class and one aimed at an intermediate level. It is difficult to set criteria but I'd recommend the beginner class if you are quite new to the piano or piano isn't your main instrument. We will take things at a slower pace here. Intermediate pianists should already know basic jazz voicings and have some experience of improvisation and know some standards.

To help with these, please fill in the online form below. Both classes will run on Sundays at 2pm UK time. I'm sorry that I couldn't be flexible on this due to the time difference (we are 6 hours ahead here in Thailand). Given that it is only once a month, I hope you can try to work around it. If not, I do have some availability for 1-1 jazz piano sessions during the week. Reply to this email and we can discuss further. The beginner class will run on the first Sunday of each month and the intermediate on the second.

So, the beginner class will start on Sunday the 7th of June and the intermediate class on the 14th.

I'm really looking forward to working with you and if you have any questions or are not sure which class you should do, reply to chat!

Please fill in the form below ASAP as places will be given on a first-come-first-served-basis and we have had a lot of interest.
