Course characteristics

Since this course is for all levels, beginners to more advanced jazz piano players, this course starts with how basic chords (major 7th, minor 7th, dominant 7th, diminished & augmented) are formed, and continues to advanced chords with added notes and alterations, "So What"-chords, fourth-chords, upper structures and how to create your own chords.

More advanced piano players that already know how basic chords are made, might want to skip the first sections and jump directly in into the more advanced sections: have a look at the curriculum and decide depending on your level where to begin.

As said: beginning jazz piano players can do this course. But be aware that "beginning jazz piano player" doesn't mean a total beginner on the piano: you need at least some ability to play simple songs on the piano and you need to be able to play the major and natural minor scales in as many keys as possible on the piano.

For an even better understanding of how jazz 'works', it would be good to study also some jazz theory, but this is not absolutely needed to follow this course.

This course can very well be done as a course 'on its own', but could also complement any other jazz piano course.

Topics covered in this course

Basic triads (for beginners)

Basic 7th chords (for beginners)

II-V-I chord progressions

Sus-chords

Who this course is for:
This course is for beginning to more advanced jazz piano players wanting to be able to play jazz piano chords.
This course is not for total beginners on the piano, and not for the very experienced/professional jazz pianist, but for all those between those 2 extremes.

It met every one of my expectations. Important to put in the practice after the concepts are explained.. before moving to the next lesson!

By Art Johnson on 11/1/2019

Yes a good match for me, now more serious about finally learning some great jazz chords and voicings.

By Elizabeth phillips on 10/1/2019

Have piano knowledge but need review and seemed coherent and understandable for me. May be too simplified for beginners without music knowledge.

By Efrain Cantu on 8/13/2019

Fue todo muy claro.
