These exercises are perfect to get you started with a practice routine, and are a great foundation to build off of. Many jazz exercises are either too basic, or too complex. Whereas the exercises in this course aim to help beginner-intermediate pianists explore technical approaches that can instantly be used within their improvisations and song-writing.Our time at the instrument is limited, so we want to make the most of this valuable time. Hence, having a strong and focused practice routine is the best way to make sure our time isn’t wasted. They say “practice makes perfect”, but I’d venture to add that “PERFECT practice makes perfect”. For use to get our practice perfected, we need exercises that challenge us, exercise that are contrasting in nature, and exercises that are clear/concise with fingerings and approaches explained in detail. That’s what this course offers. These exercises are meant to be timeless, so you can always come back to practicing them to help you instill the fundamentals of jazz piano techniques. Use these classes as a foundation that you can build off of, and you’ll be quickly underway to improving your playing as a jazz pianist.So, let’s not bog you down with more words, and instead jump straight into your first exercise!*Note: many of these exercises can also work for guitar and other instruments, but the primary instrument recommended is piano/keyboard.
