Die Jazz-Piano-Schule: The easy entry into the world of jazz piano playing
incl. QR-Codes + audio download!
After successful piano methods such as „Die Bar-Piano Schule“, „Pop-Piano in der Praxis“, „Rock- & Pop-Piano“ or „Die Schule für Blues-Piano“, Michael Gundlach has once again created an outstanding and practice-oriented method for piano enthusiasts with „Die Jazz-Piano-Schule“.
In „Die Jazz-Piano-Schule“ Michael Gundlach demonstrates step by step the construction of simple through to complex jazz chords and combines them into the chord progressions typical for jazz. In addition, an initial introduction to jazz improvisation is given using some of the most important scales. All theoretical explanations are designed with direct practical application in mind and are implemented and explained in the jazz pieces of this piano method. This makes the explained theory immediately comprehensible and avoids superfluous teaching content.
