Benny Green

When it comes to learning jazz piano, this is about as good as it gets. Packed with enough learning material to last a lifetime it is, indeed, a ‘deep dive.’

Introduction to Jazz Piano: A Deep Diveis just that. It is an in-depth, refreshing course on deepening one’s skill set. It encourages musical exploration in a conceptual way, rather than a one size fits all approach. Highly recommended!
