You certainly have many options available regarding choosing a piano instructor, but I have to assume that you would like to hire the most qualified teacher to guide you on the journey.
¡Hablo Español!
I Teach All Ages at All Levels: Jazz, Rock, Blues, Funk, R&B, Pop, Songwriting, Music Theory, Composition, Arranging for Horns and Voice and Strings, Soloing, Improvisation, Classical Technique, Latin, Country, Folk, and much much more!
I have been a pro pianist all my adult life, teaching thousands of students over a span of more than three decades!
I am a published contributor to the #1 best-selling Jazz Theory book "Jazzology" (published by Hal Leonard - the world's largest music publisher), in addition to having almost 20 books published on the subject of theory and technique!
I also have many many professional recordings to my credit that you can listen to online anytime!
I have authored the following piano and music theory books:
"Piano Rootless Drop-Voicing 251s" (2013)
Major and minor Jazz 251 progressions with their altered dominants – all keys
"Jazz Piano Notebook 4" (2017)
Detailed analyses of transcriptions of live Jazz Piano Performances
"Jazz Piano Notebook 5: Blues Soloing" (2019)
Transcriptions and analysis of of Blues Piano Solos
"MODALOGY - scales, modes & chords: the primordial building blocks of music" (2011)
Hal Leonard publisher
Primarily a music theory reference, Modalogy presents a unique perspective on the origins, interlocking aspects, and usage of the most common scales and modes in occidental music.
"UP IN 4THS" (2020)
Here the mystery of WHY "a root moving up a perfect 4th is the strongest motion in all music" is examined in meticulous detail.
Everyone moves further, much faster, and is more likely to stay engaged by learning from a master teacher with decades of real-world professional experience to share.
I will give you what you need to know, in order to take you where you want to go!
I hope to hear from you soon!
Thanks,
Jeff

About Jeff B.
5.0
(14)
People study subjects for a great number of reasons, consequently I customize my lessons to each individual student's needs and wants.
We learn different ways. Some of us are more visual, some more tactile, some more intuitive, some more cerebral, etc. Understanding this allows me to adapt to each person's most natural mode of learning so that the material is grasped more easily (therefore more quickly), and so that it is retained longer.
I would be honored to share my experience and knowledge with you.

It was a great first lesson with Jeff. He gave a clear and interesting introduction to what I was to learn. Jeff was patient and adjusted quickly to my learning needs. Can’t wait for our next class!

Had lesson one yesterday. He taught the basics in “tone” right off the bat. Great start! Look forward to more lessons to come.
