Teaching - Jazz Piano & Theory

Jon taking it easy

Jon hosts his light-hearted and informal lessons from his home in Winslow, Buckinghamshire. Jon's lessons are geared towards people wishing to move from classical to jazz piano. However, Jon is happy to take on beginners and will start with a combination of classical and jazz music to get your fingers moving.

Jazz lessons cover:

  • Chord and scale theory
  • Harmony and voicings
  • Improvisation
  • Comping
  • Piano technique
  • Understanding 'Real Books'

For the theory orientated jazz work, a fortnightly hour-long lesson is recommended to allow enough time to practice and absorb the information. For children, a weekly half hour lesson is usually suitable.

There are currently both fortnightly and weekly slots available. Your first lesson is free!
