Overview
Combine everything you’ve learned with the final course in the Jazz Piano series
This online course follows on from Learn Jazz Piano: III. Solo Piano and Advanced Topics.
In this final part of the Jazz Piano series, you’ll combine everything you’ve learned up to now, whilst adding some cool new skills to your musical repertoire.
You’ll look at advanced blues sequences, ballads, special devices, comping and various influences on jazz - including Latin jazz and jazz funk.
You’ll end triumphantly with two programmed concerts, a solo concert and a concert from My Piano Trio.
This course would suit any interested pianist, but may be of particular interest to university or college piano students studying music.
