WARNING: This is not a hear and Play Method.
You will actually learn how to apply every lesson to your own songs.
 

I've been where you are, frustrated and trying to put the pieces together myself as I couldn't find a
teacher in the Detroit area who knew how to teach jazz and advanced arranging.

I was a classical graduate, and yet, I could only play classical music.  I knew that there was always a
system and explanation to music, so why couldn't I find a teacher who could teach me how to apply
what I learned in college, into jazz or advanced arranging?

I soon discovered that this knowledge was rarely taught and was being passed down from artist to artist.
So the only way was to study with a professional that was in the inner circle of those artists, and I
found him,  Bud Conway. 

His wife asked me to pass on his body of work, and so I started teaching privately, not realizing that the
only guide I had to a teaching method was my own trial and error.  Remember, I was a college graduate, and
most of my students weren't, so I had to come up with a teaching method to prepare students, to reach
a level where I could teach jazz and advanced arranging.

Now, I am giving this to you, in an organized, step x step system, and..........I don't leave out important
information, I tell all, because I want you to be successful.

.........Jazz Piano isn't just improv...........

Did you know that the same foundation of chords & scales used in "Jazz" is the
same foundation you use in building big beautiful contemporary music?

Jazz just takes the same principles and formulas, changes the rhythms, layers more dissonant tones,
and adds improv.

Once you have the foundation you can:

• Add beautiful intros like this one: 

• Add jazz scales to fill-in your music;

• Add fab chords to your music to get a 'big' - 'full' sound;

• Embellish melodies for interest;

• Add interest & drama to your music;

• Express your own creativity;

• Add improv

But......you can't do it alone, you have to be guided step x step and then shown how each formula
is applied in actual music.

If you miss a step you'll get confused and not accomplish your goal.

Plus, once you start adding chords and scales to your music, you need to know how
to arrange them between the hands.

I've been where you are, & knew there had to be a system of learning advanced piano that wasn't
just a hear and play.  I found there was a system in place, but it was passed on from musician to
musician.  Now, it's coming out, especially with the internet, but students are having to piece all of the
information together themselves and it's just not working. 
So what if you had a blue-print with exact steps so you know exactly how to play-arrange-style
or improvise without reading music arrangements?

This body of work is the Bible to all your formulas and step to Jazz and
Advanced Arranging;

• I'm telling every formula, to Jazz chords & Jazz Scales;

• Then you'll learn how to use them, there are exact Rules.

• Using actual jazz songs for examples;

• How to use fingering and my Tips and Tricks the quickest methods
  for zipping up and down the piano;

• How to play in different styles such as comping chords, opening up the chords
  bass lines, and improv.

.........Let's do it right the first time, so we don't have all this confusion.
have start from scratch again, and CLEAR OUT all those wrong
misconceptions of music, which makes learning even harder...........

  won't happen any more;

Are you excited now that you've heard the music?

.........Alana, Why did you choose these particular songs?.........

I wanted to make sure you could apply your lessons in actual music so why not choose actual
Jazz music that was written for improv or styling.

You also want to be able to apply your knowledge to contemporary pieces, such as the Beatles, so
these are great examples.

Plus, I chose songs that enhance each lesson, such as Green Dolphin Street is perfect for learning
and playing modal scales.
