I am the author of numerous books on Jazz Improv and also produced one of the first Jazz and Gospel Instructional on Hammond Organ. My 7 Secrets of Jazz and Soul method which was originally developed as a student at Goddard College has been used by thousands of players around the world.
My latest project is a series of interactive apps and scripts that helps students master the basics of Jazz harmony and theory. Go here for a look! (They're not fully up and running yet.) Private Lessons:
If you're thinking of studying with me privately, the first thing you should do is to send a recording of your playing to [email protected]. This isn't an "audition tape" , it's just so I can get a general idea of where you're at and to work out a plan how I might be able to help you. Ideally speaking it should be a recording of you playing through a tune as well improvising or "noodling" in some way. It should not be rehearsed or a best take, but simply you in the moment. My Rates and Fees: I am reluctant to set a one size fits all rate for all students. Start by letting me know your commitment, budget and availability. *Please note that you should that hourly rate for lessons with a teacher such as myself can run from about $45 - $250/hour and lessons are charged by the month depending upon your location. |
