Jazz Performer / Educator
Jazz Piano Chord Voicings is useful for anyone interested in playing jazz piano. While you are assumed to be able to read music and navigate the keyboard, this course will otherwise start at the very beginning with simple voicings. This course has a lot for intermediate players as well, including 5 and 6 note lush voicings, modern quartal voicings, and Barry Harris 6th diminished movements.
This course is the result of giving hundreds of private lessons and my own experiences as a gigging player. What sets us apart is that we don't just teach the techniques academically. Rather, our approach encourages you to put each technique into your playing until you can play over any standard fluently.
I've been where you are. I studied piano at Cleveland Institute of music. I built the classical technique to play just about any song you could put in front of me. But, give me a lead sheet or ask me to improvise and I'd collapse. Playing spontaneously terrified me. It took me many years to build the skills and technique to feel comfortable improvising in front of others. Over the last few years I've taught over 100 other students to do the same thing, and over 50,000 musicians watch my educational resources on YouTube each month.
Honestly, a long time. Of course, it depends on your starting location. But jazz voicings is not just a deep topic, its also wide. Most of the voicings we teach can be understood in a few hours of study, but to master them in your playing will take weeks, or months of study. Most of these voicings have 96 permutations to learn. You will see results immediately, but will take months of dedication to complete.
Yes, as long as you can read music and know how to navigate the piano keyboard. This course starts with simple 2 note voicings which are suitable for total beginners.
