This was really interesting - nothing new in there really, but it does a great job of bringing together a number of different ways of thinking (about the same thing - improvisation), and all within half an hour - great programme …

Throwing away the script to unlock the brain’s creative potential.

Only just found out about this, but the solo piano music that’s very quietly playing in the background under the dialogue in this clip from recent film ‘Nuremberg’, is one of my tunes called ‘Paradise Found’ - it’s originally from this album of production library music https://soundcloud.com/gold-leaf-music-library/paradise-found-dave-jones-classy-reflective-jazz-solo-piano and it’s available on these streaming albums https://open.spotify.com/album/1QE8JD22rEbX31aHXiBesJ and https://music.apple.com/ca/album/piano-solos-duets/1385234669 . The track (about 10 years old) was used for longer in the film than is heard in this clip, but this one was ready to go. Delighted that it’s listed in the ‘Songs’ section near the end of the credits at the end of the film, alongside music by Chopin, Ella Fitzgerald, and Johnny Mercer, amongst others. My first big Hollywood film synch - very grateful! A big thank you to Aaron Judd at The Gold Leaf Music Library and Schubert Music Library for making this placement possible…

We have a great variety of things going on at the moment at Learn Piano, including piano exam successes from grade 3 and upwards and preparation for performing diplomas. We also have students learning without exams, some working on jazz piano, and some on composition (including students that are now composing, performing, and producing their own music to complete albums for possible future tv and film use). Some are local, and some travel quite a distance to study with us, from e.g. The Wye Valley, Cardiff, Swansea Valley, Swansea and The Gower, and Bridgend.

If that sounds interesting to you, then we have some spaces available for lessons at the moment, as a few of our students are soon to go off to University/Music College. If you’d like to ask about possible lesson bookings, then please direct message us here at Learn Piano or at https://www.davejonesjazz.com/tuition . We’re based at Cwmafan, just 2 miles from the M4 at Port Talbot, and also offer online lessons.
