When learning a new jazz standard the first thing to do is listen to as many different recordings of the tune. Then listen and transcribe from them.
In this lesson we will combine quartals and upper structures to create some quartal upper structure voicings that are well suited to a comping setting.
In this lesson we’ll analyse the harmony of “There Will Never Be Another You” to help memorise & internalise the chord changes and song sturcture.
Lead sheets are a useful tool when starting out with jazz, but by learning tunes by memory, it will benefit your playing in a number of ways.

Mr. PC is a composition by John Coltrane, arguably the greatest jazz saxophone player of all time. We will apply everything from the Minor Blues Course.
In this lesson, we will explore a number of different left-hand techniques and basslines to create interest in the lower registers of the piano.
In this lesson, we’re going to introduce some more interesting and exotic sounding scales we can use to solo over the minor blues form.
In this lesson, we will introduce right hand improvising primarily using the notes of the minor pentatonic scale and the minor blues scale.
