Get the skills to play all your favorite songs in any key by training your ear & getting an understanding of music.
This one lesson will put you on track to play all your favorite songs.
(it's free)
I'd like you to consider taking one music lesson. It's only 16 minutes. It's free. And it's entirely worth your time. This lesson is for total beginners and for people with a musical background. All are welcome.
This one lesson provides the foundation for playing American popular music (rock and R&B). There isn't any note reading. The focus instead is on ear training and gaining an understanding of music. What you're going to learn is simple and easy-to-grasp. But its usefulness and importance are significant.
You will apply what you learn to play the bass part of Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic," using the original key. (Starting with the bass makes sense because music is best understood from the bottom up.) Instead of reading sheet music, you'll use a chord chart.
For one week, I'll send you short daily emails with useful information about chord charts. You'll also receive a very neat video with an animated chord chart so that you can play along with me when you're ready.
My guarantee: This one lesson will get you thinking about music in a different way. It will help you better understand how music works. You'll be able to apply this understanding to play all your favorite songs and create your own.
If you enjoyed Lesson 1, you can keep learning by purchasing Lessons 2 - 10 ($89). This is what you'll get:
7 hours of expert instruction organized into 23 video tutorials
This is what you'll learn: In Lessons 2 - 6, you'll learn (by ear) all the important triads and chords. Lessons 7 and 8 will show how these triads and chords are used to support a melody. Lesson 9 will cover song composition and Lesson 10, rhythm. The lessons follow the same format as Lesson 1 (outlines, instruction video, answer video) and should be taken in order.

Quotes About Jeff & His Teaching
“No more than six months after the lessons started, one day I brought David and Kevin shopping at BJ’s Wholesale club, to my surprise and delight, they took turns sitting in front of the store piano, and gave their first public performance. I can still vividly recall the priceless smiles on their faces upon receiving the applauses and cheers from the gallery of spectators."
“Sam has learned many things from his work with Jeff. He has gained proficiency in recognizing and playing patterns that are common in jazz music.”
“I would like to recommend Jeff to any students ready to make the leap to a less classical, more improvisational approach to piano study…Although he can sight read very well, Ryan found he lacked the skills to effectively interpret this music on his own. We were thrilled when we discovered Jeff…"
