Reflection Rag by Scott Joplin Sequenced by: Warren S. Trachtman Wikipedia: Scott Joplin was an American composer and pianist. Joplin achieved fame for his ragtime compositions and was dubbed the King of Ragtime. During his brief career, he wrote 44 original ragtime pieces, one ragtime ballet, and two operas. One of his first and most popular pieces, the "Maple Leaf Rag", became ragtime's first and most influential hit, and has been recognized as the archetypal rag. Joplin grew up in a musical family of railway laborers in Texarkana, Arkansas, and developed his own musical knowledge with the help of local teachers. While in Texarkana, Texas, he formed a vocal quartet and taught mandolin and guitar. During the late 1880s he left his job as a railroad laborer and travelled the American South as an itinerant musician. He went to Chicago for the World's Fair of 1893, which played a major part in making ragtime a national craze by 1897. Joplin moved to Sedalia, Missouri, in 1894 and earned a living as a piano teacher. There he taught future ragtime composers Arthur Marshall, Scott Hayden and Brun Campbell. He began publishing music in 1895, and publication of his "Maple Leaf Rag" in 1899 brought him fame. This piece had a profound influence on writers of ragtime. It also brought Joplin a steady income for life, though he did not reach this level of success again and frequently had financial problems. In 1901 Joplin moved to St. Louis, where he continued to compose and publish, and regularly performed in the community. The score to his first opera A Guest of Honor was confiscated in 1903 with his belongings for non-payment of bills, and is now considered lost. In 1907, Joplin moved to New York City to find a producer for a new opera. He attempted to go beyond the limitations of the musical form that made him famous, but without much monetary success. His second opera, Treemonisha, was never fully staged during his lifetime. In 1916, Joplin descended into dementia as a result of syphilis. He was admitted to a mental institution in January 1917, and died there three months later at the age of 48. Joplin's death is widely considered to mark the end of ragtime as a mainstream music format; over the next several years, it evolved with other styles into stride, jazz, and eventually big band swing. Joplin's music was rediscovered and returned to popularity in the early 1970s with the release of a million-selling album recorded by Joshua Rifkin. This was followed by the Academy Award-winning 1973 film The Sting that featured several of Joplin's compositions, most notably "The Entertainer", whose performance by pianist Marvin Hamlisch received wide airplay. Treemonisha was finally produced in full, to wide acclaim, in 1972. In 1976, Joplin was posthumously awarded a Pulitzer Prize. This video quote: "Don't play this piece fast. It is never right to play ragtime fast." - Scott Joplin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ►Follow me on Instagram 📸: http://instagram.com/its.Remco ►Follow me on Reddit 🤖: http://reddit.com/user/its_remco ►Add me on Discord 💻: itsRemco # 0827 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My free practice recommendations I use myself: ►Perfect Ear app to train your hearing (Android & IOS) 👂🏽: http://gestyy.com/w65gXL ►Complete Music Reading Trainer (Only Android) 👀: http://gestyy.com/w65jdn ►Hanon exercises to improve the piano fingerwork 🖐🏽: http://gestyy.com/w64QhM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Things I recommend that I paid for to practice Jazz Piano: ►My current digital piano is the Roland RP501r 🎹: https://amzn.to/2QB4SvG ►iReal Pro app to practice with backing tracks 📲: https://amzn.to/2MS0Ca3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #scottjoplin #reflectionrag #ragtime #kingofragtime #rag #ragtimesynthesia #ragtimepiano #pianosyncopation #ragtimecomposer #joplin #synthesia #scottjoplintutorial #ragtimetutorial #scottjoplinsynthesia #itsRemco

Blues Garni by Erroll Garner Transcribed by Paul Marcorelles from @blueblackjazz check out the transcription: https://blueblackjazz.com/en/transcription/229/229-erroll-garner-loose-nut-c-min-transcription-pdf And of course check out his site for all available transcriptions: https://www.blueblackjazz.com Original recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fImHQ6gbwpc Wikipedia: Erroll Louis Garner was an American jazz pianist and composer known for his swing playing and ballads. His best-known composition, the ballad "Misty", has become a jazz standard. Scott Yanow of Allmusic calls him "one of the most distinctive of all pianists" and a "brilliant virtuoso." He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6363 Hollywood Blvd. His live album, Concert by the Sea, first released in 1955, sold over a million copies by 1958 and Scott Yanow's opinion is: "this is the album that made such a strong impression that Garner was considered immortal from then on." Garner was born with his twin brother Ernest in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on June 15, 1921, the youngest of six children in an African-American family. He attended George Westinghouse High School (as did fellow pianists Billy Strayhorn and Ahmad Jamal). Interviews with his family and music teachers (and with other musicians), plus a detailed family tree are given in Erroll Garner: The Most Happy Piano by James M Doran. Garner began playing piano at the age of three. His elder siblings were taught piano by Miss Bowman. From an early age, Erroll would sit down and play anything she had demonstrated, just like Miss Bowman, his eldest sister Martha said. Garner was self-taught and remained an "ear player" all his life, never learning to read music. At age seven, he began appearing on the radio station KDKA in Pittsburgh with a group called the Candy Kids. By age 11, he was playing on the Allegheny riverboats. In 1937 he joined local saxophonist Leroy Brown. He played locally in the shadow of his older pianist brother Linton Garner.

Honeysuckle Rose by James P. Johnson Transcribed by Paul Marcorelles from @BlueBlackJazz check out the transcription: https://blueblackjazz.com/en/transcription/301/301-ralph-sutton-jeepers-creepers-g-maj-transcription-pdf And of course check out his site for all available transcriptions: https://www.blueblackjazz.com Original recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpUgbfdrcyU Wikipedia: James Price Johnson (February 1, 1894 – November 17, 1955) was an American pianist and composer. A pioneer of stride piano, he was one of the most important pianists in the early era of recording, and like Jelly Roll Morton, one of the key figures in the evolution of ragtime into what was eventually called jazz. Johnson was a major influence on Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Art Tatum, and Fats Waller, who was his student. Johnson composed many hit songs, including the unofficial anthem of the Roaring Twenties, "The Charleston," and he remained the acknowledged king of New York jazz pianists through most of the 1930s. Johnson's artistry, influence on early popular music, and contributions to musical theatre are often overlooked, and as such, he has been referred to by musicologist David Schiff as "The Invisible Pianist." Johnson was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey, United States. The proximity to New York City meant that the full cosmopolitan spectrum of the city's musical experience, from bars, to cabarets, to the symphony, were at the young Johnson's disposal. Johnson's father, William H. Johnson, was a store helper and mechanic while his mother, Josephine Harrison was a maid. Harrison was a part of the choir at the Methodist Church and was also a self-taught pianist. Johnson later cited the popular African-American songs and dances he heard at home and around the city as early influences on his musical taste. In 1908, Johnson's family moved to the San Juan Hill (near where Lincoln Center stands today) section of New York City and subsequently moved again to uptown in 1911. With perfect pitch and excellent recall he was soon able to pick out the piano tunes that he had heard. @James P.

Don't Jazz Me Rag by James Scott Sequenced by Warren S. Trachtman Wikipedia: James Sylvester Scott was an American ragtime composer and pianist, regarded as one of the three most important composers of classic ragtime, along with Scott Joplin and Joseph Lamb. He was born in Neosho, Missouri to James Scott, Sr. and Molly Thomas Scott, both former slaves. In 1901 his family moved to Carthage, Missouri, where he attended Lincoln High School. In 1902 he began working at the music store of Charles L. Dumars, first washing windows, then demonstrating music at the piano as a song plugger, including his own pieces. Demand for his music convinced Dumars to print the first of Scott's published compositions, "A Summer Breeze - March and Two Step", in 1903. By 1904, two more compositions by Scott, "Fascinator March" and "On the Pike March" were published and sold well, but not enough to keep Dumars in business and soon the company ceased publishing. James Scott's 1904 "On the Pike", which refers to the midway of the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904. Ragtime Historians Rudi Blesh and Harriet Janis recount that Scott went to St. Louis, Missouri in search of his idol Scott Joplin in 1905. He located Joplin and asked if he would listen to one of his ragtime compositions. Upon hearing the rag, Joplin introduced him to his own publisher, John Stillwell Stark, and recommended he publish the work. Stark published the rag a year later as "Frog Legs Rag". It quickly became a hit and was second in sales in the Stark catalogue only to that of Joplin's own "Maple Leaf Rag". Scott became a regular contributor to the Stark catalogue until 1922. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ►Follow me on Instagram 📸: http://instagram.com/its.Remco ►Follow me on Reddit 🤖: http://reddit.com/user/its_remco ►Add me on Discord 💻: itsRemco # 0827 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My free practice recommendations I use myself: ►Perfect Ear app to train your hearing (Android & IOS) 👂🏽: http://gestyy.com/w65gXL ►Complete Music Reading Trainer (Only Android) 👀: http://gestyy.com/w65jdn ►Hanon exercises to improve the piano fingerwork 🖐🏽: http://gestyy.com/w64QhM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Things I recommend that I paid for to practice Jazz Piano: ►My current digital piano is the Roland RP501r 🎹: https://amzn.to/2QB4SvG ►iReal Pro app to practice with backing tracks 📲: https://amzn.to/2MS0Ca3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #ragtime #dontjazzmerag #jamesscott #synthesia #prejazz #ragtimepiano #ragtime #pianosyncopation #ragtimecomposer #ragtimepiano #synthesia #ragtimesynthesia #solopiano #ragtimetutorial #itsremco

Contentment Rag by Joseph F. Lamb Sequenced by: Warren S. Trachtman Wikipedia: Joseph Francis Lamb was an American composer of ragtime music. Lamb, of Irish descent, was the only non-African American of the "Big Three" composers of classical ragtime, the other two being Scott Joplin and James Scott. The ragtime of Joseph Lamb ranges from standard popular fare to complex and highly engaging. His use of long phrases was influenced by classical works he had learned from his sister and others while growing up, but his sense of structure was potentially derived from his study of Joplin's piano rags. By the time he added some polish to his later works in the 1950s, Lamb had mastered the classic rag genre in a way that almost no other composer was able to approach at that time, and continued to play it passably as well, as evidenced by at least two separate recordings done in his home, as well as a few recorded interviews. Lamb was born in Montclair, New Jersey. The youngest of four children, he taught himself to play the piano and admired the early ragtime publications of Scott Joplin. He dropped out of St. Jerome's College in 1904 to work for a dry goods company. He met Joplin in 1907 while purchasing the latest Joplin and Scott sheet music in the offices of John Stark & Son. Joplin was impressed with Lamb's compositions and recommended him to ragtime publisher John Stark. Stark published Lamb's music for the next decade, starting with "Sensation". This video quote: "The road to success leads through the valley of humility, and the path is up the ladder of patience and across the wide barren plains of perseverance. As yet, no short cut has ever been discovered." - Joseph F.

Jeepers Creepers by Ralph Sutton Transcribed by Paul Marcorelles from @BlueBlackJazz check out the transcription: https://blueblackjazz.com/en/transcription/301/301-ralph-sutton-jeepers-creepers-g-maj-transcription-pdf And of course check out his site for all available transcriptions: https://www.blueblackjazz.com Original recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjDOuLr6C60 Wikipedia: Ralph Earl Sutton was an American jazz pianist born in Hamburg, Missouri. He was a stride pianist in the tradition of James P. Johnson and Fats Waller. Sutton was born in Hamburg, Missouri, United States, the son of Earl and Edna Sutton. His younger sister Barbara Sutton Curtis was also a jazz pianist. Sutton had a stint as a session musician with Jack Teagarden's band, before joining the US Army during World War II. After the war, he played at various venues in Missouri, eventually ending up at Eddie Condon's club in Greenwich Village. In 1956, he relocated to San Francisco, California, where he recorded several albums with Bob Scobey's dixieland band. From the 1960s onward, he worked mostly on his own. However, when the World's Greatest Jazz Band was established in 1968, he was the natural choice for piano. He left that band in 1974 due to the extensive travel involved, and joined an old sidekick, Peanuts Hucko, in a quartet in Denver, near his home in Evergreen, Colorado.  Fellow jazz pianist Jess Stacy said this about Ralph Sutton: "He is a superb piano player and a great guy. There's nothing upstage about him. I really admire the way he plays. He's one of the few piano players who uses both hands, and it's sure nice to know that a player like Ralph is still around. I can't say enough good things about him. He's one of the greats, and I hope he gets the recognition he deserves." Sutton died of a stroke in Evergreen, Colorado at the age of 79. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ►Follow me on Instagram 📸: http://instagram.com/its.Remco ►Follow me on Reddit 🤖: http://reddit.com/user/its_remco ►Add me on Discord 💻: itsRemco # 0827 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My free practice recommendations I use myself: ►Perfect Ear app to train your hearing (Android & IOS) 👂🏽: http://gestyy.com/w65gXL ►Complete Music Reading Trainer (Only Android) 👀: http://gestyy.com/w65jdn ►Hanon exercises to improve the piano fingerwork 🖐🏽: http://gestyy.com/w64QhM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Things I recommend that I paid for to practice Jazz Piano: ►My current digital piano is the Roland RP501r 🎹: https://amzn.to/2QB4SvG ►iReal Pro app to practice with backing tracks 📲: https://amzn.to/2MS0Ca3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #stridepiano #ralphsutton #jeeperscreepers #oldjazz #swingpiano #pianotutorial #earlyjazz #classicjazz #synthesia #classicjazzpiano #faststridepiano #roaringtwenties #syncopation #solopiano #solopianojazz

Yesterdays by Art Tatum Original recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0QD558TWSQ Info on Art Tatum: Arthur Tatum, Jr. was born in Toledo, Ohio, on October 13, 1909. Art was severely visually impaired from birth; however, his parents were both accomplished amateur musicians and he was picking out tunes on his mother’s piano from the age of three. He learned arrangements from piano rolls, but his uncanny sense of intonation, his physical dexterity at the keyboard, and above all his high intelligence contributed to his increasingly astonishing piano technique. In Toledo, he received tutelage from Overton G. Rainey, who, like Tatum, was blind but insisted that Art learn the classics. Rainey discouraged improvisation; Art could not but improvise. All the music that Art heard lodged in his brilliant musical brain and emerged, transformed, through his gifted hands. He had a few favorite sources of inspiration from the mid-1920s on: Thomas “Fats” Waller, James P. Johnson, Earl Hines, and popular pianist Lee Sims (1898-1966), whose complex harmonies (reminiscent of Debussy) and changes of tempo within a performance have clear echoes within Tatum’s own mature piano style. Art performed on local Toledo radio as early as age 17. He was discovered by vocalist Adelaide Hall in 1932. Hall hired Tatum, brought him to New York, and made records with him that year. A solo recorded during those sessions (“Tiger Rag”) exists as a test-pressing—his technique, at age 22, is fully realized. He continued to work around New York and later elsewhere, flabbergasting his own pianistic idols with his towering command of the keyboard. It doesn’t do to attempt to describe Art Tatum’s playing. One must hear him. Testimonials from other pianists abound. The most famous story is of Fats Waller relinquishing the piano bench to Tatum when he appeared in the club where Waller was performing, stating “I only play the piano, but tonight God is in the house.” Oscar Peterson, perhaps Tatum’s most Tatumesque follower, also considered him a “musical God,” and said, “If you speak of pianists, the most complete pianist that we have known and possibly will know is Art Tatum.” Art Tatum never failed to dazzle listeners with his Olympian musical prowess and limitless melodic and harmonic invention. He died, far too young, on November 5, 1956.

Hanon also wrote 50 instructional pieces, Méthode Élémentaire de Piano, and a collection of 50 Ecclesiastical Chants. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ►Follow me on Instagram 📸: http://instagram.com/its.Remco ►Follow me on Reddit 🤖: http://reddit.com/user/its_remco ►Add me on Discord 💻: itsRemco # 0827 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My free practice recommendations I use myself: ►Perfect Ear app to train your hearing (Android & IOS) 👂🏽: http://gestyy.com/w65gXL ►Complete Music Reading Trainer (Only Android) 👀: http://gestyy.com/w65jdn ►Hanon exercises to improve the piano fingerwork 🖐🏽: http://gestyy.com/w64QhM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Things I recommend that I paid for to practice Jazz Piano: ►My current digital piano is the Roland RP501r 🎹: https://amzn.to/2QB4SvG ►iReal Pro app to practice with backing tracks 📲: https://amzn.to/2MS0Ca3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0:00:00 - Hanon Exercise 1 In F 0:01:16 - Hanon Exercise 2 In F 0:02:28 - Hanon Exercise 3 In F 0:03:40 - Hanon Exercise 4 In F 0:04:52 - Hanon Exercise 5 In F 0:06:04 - Hanon Exercise 6 In F 0:07:16 - Hanon Exercise 7 In F 0:08:28 - Hanon Exercise 8 In F 0:09:40 - Hanon Exercise 9 In F 0:10:52 - Hanon Exercise 10 In F 0:12:04 - Hanon Exercise 11 In F 0:13:16 - Hanon Exercise 12 In F 0:14:30 - Hanon Exercise 13 In F 0:15:42 - Hanon Exercise 14 In F 0:16:54 - Hanon Exercise 15 In F 0:18:06 - Hanon Exercise 16 In F 0:19:18 - Hanon Exercise 17 In F 0:20:28 - Hanon Exercise 18 In F 0:21:40 - Hanon Exercise 19 In F 0:22:52 - Hanon Exercise 20 In F #hanon #pianoexercise #synthesia #practicepiano #piano #pianomusic #pianolessons #musiclessons #musiclesson #learning #learn #letsplay #exercices #classicalmusic #itsRemco

Ragtime Nightingale by Joseph F. Lamb Sequenced by: Warren S. Trachtman Wikipedia: Joseph Francis Lamb was an American composer of ragtime music. Lamb, of Irish descent, was the only non-African American of the "Big Three" composers of classical ragtime, the other two being Scott Joplin and James Scott. The ragtime of Joseph Lamb ranges from standard popular fare to complex and highly engaging. His use of long phrases was influenced by classical works he had learned from his sister and others while growing up, but his sense of structure was potentially derived from his study of Joplin's piano rags. By the time he added some polish to his later works in the 1950s, Lamb had mastered the classic rag genre in a way that almost no other composer was able to approach at that time, and continued to play it passably as well, as evidenced by at least two separate recordings done in his home, as well as a few recorded interviews. Lamb was born in Montclair, New Jersey. The youngest of four children, he taught himself to play the piano and admired the early ragtime publications of Scott Joplin. He dropped out of St. Jerome's College in 1904 to work for a dry goods company. He met Joplin in 1907 while purchasing the latest Joplin and Scott sheet music in the offices of John Stark & Son. Joplin was impressed with Lamb's compositions and recommended him to ragtime publisher John Stark. Stark published Lamb's music for the next decade, starting with "Sensation". This video quote: "The road to success leads through the valley of humility, and the path is up the ladder of patience and across the wide barren plains of perseverance. As yet, no short cut has ever been discovered." - Joseph F.

Don't Blame me by Thelonious Monk live in Denmark 1966 Original recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KshrtLXBdl8 Transcribed by @itsRemco Wikipedia: Thelonious Sphere Monk was an American jazz pianist and composer. He had a unique improvisational style and made numerous contributions to the standard jazz repertoire, including "'Round Midnight", "Blue Monk", "Straight, No Chaser", "Ruby, My Dear", "In Walked Bud", and "Well, You Needn't". Monk is the second-most-recorded jazz composer after Duke Ellington. Monk's compositions and improvisations feature dissonances and angular melodic twists and are consistent with his unorthodox approach to the piano, which combined a highly percussive attack with abrupt, dramatic use of switched key releases, silences, and hesitations. His style was not universally appreciated; the poet and jazz critic Philip Larkin dismissed him as "the elephant on the keyboard". Monk was renowned for a distinct look which included suits, hats, and sunglasses. He was also noted for an idiosyncratic habit during performances: while other musicians continued playing, Monk would stop, stand up, and dance for a few moments before returning to the piano. Monk is one of five jazz musicians to have been featured on the cover of Time magazine (the others being Louis Armstrong, Dave Brubeck, Duke Ellington and Wynton Marsalis).

Tiger Rag by Teddy Wilson Transcribed by Paul Marcorelles from @BlueBlackJazz check out the transcription: https://blueblackjazz.com/en/transcription/193/193-teddy-wilson-tiger-rag-bb-maj-transcription-pdf And of course check out his site for all available transcriptions: https://www.blueblackjazz.com Original recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQaPMoLc8RI Wikipedia: Theodore Shaw Wilson was an American jazz pianist. Described by critic Scott Yanow as "the definitive swing pianist", Wilson's sophisticated and elegant style was featured on the records of many of the biggest names in jazz, including Louis Armstrong, Lena Horne, Benny Goodman, Billie Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald. With Goodman, he was one of the first black musicians to appear prominently with white musicians. In addition to his extensive work as a sideman, Wilson also led his own groups and recording sessions from the late 1920s to the 1980s. Wilson was born in Austin, Texas, on November 24, 1912. He studied piano and violin at Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama. After working in Speed Webb's band, with Louis Armstrong, and also understudying Earl Hines in Hines's Grand Terrace Cafe Orchestra, Wilson joined Benny Carter's Chocolate Dandies in 1933. In 1935, he joined the Benny Goodman Trio (which consisted of Goodman, Wilson and drummer Gene Krupa, later expanded to the Benny Goodman Quartet with the addition of Lionel Hampton). The trio performed during the big band's intermissions. By joining the trio, Wilson became one of the first black musicians to perform prominently in a racially integrated group.

New Orleans Blues by Jelly Roll Morton. Original recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CtyQXFtu2U Sequenced by Warren S. Trachtman Wikipedia: Ferdinand Joseph LaMothe, known professionally as Jelly Roll Morton, was an American ragtime and early jazz pianist, bandleader and composer who started his career in New Orleans, Louisiana. Widely recognized as a pivotal figure in early jazz, Morton was jazz's first arranger, proving that a genre rooted in improvisation could retain its essential spirit and characteristics when notated. His composition "Jelly Roll Blues", published in 1915, was the first published jazz composition. Morton also wrote the standards "King Porter Stomp", "Wolverine Blues", "Black Bottom Stomp", and "I Thought I Heard Buddy Bolden Say", the last a tribute to New Orleans musicians from the turn of the 20th century. Morton's claim to have invented jazz in 1902 aroused resentment. The jazz historian, musician, and composer Gunther Schuller says of Morton's "hyperbolic assertions" that there is "no proof to the contrary" and that Morton's "considerable accomplishments in themselves provide reasonable substantiation". Alan Lomax, who recorded extensive biographical interviews of Morton at the Library of Congress in 1938, did not agree that Morton was an egotist: In being called a supreme egotist, Jelly Roll was often a victim of loose and lurid reporting. If we read the words that he himself wrote, we learn that he almost had an inferiority complex and said that he created his own style of jazz piano because "All my fellow musicians were much faster in manipulations, I thought than I, and I did not feel as though I was in their class." So he used a slower tempo to permit flexibility through the use of more notes, a pinch of Spanish to give a number of right seasoning, the avoidance of playing triple forte continuously, and many other points". --Quoted in John Szwed, Dr Jazz. This video quote: "I do not claim any of the creation of the blues, although I have written many of them even before Mr. Handy had any blues published. I heard them when I was knee-high to a duck." - Jelly Roll Morton ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ►Follow me on Instagram 📸: http://instagram.com/its.Remco ►Follow me on Reddit 🤖: http://reddit.com/user/its_remco ►Add me on Discord 💻: itsRemco # 0827 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My free practice recommendations I use myself: ►Perfect Ear app to train your hearing (Android & IOS) 👂🏽: http://gestyy.com/w65gXL ►Complete Music Reading Trainer (Only Android) 👀: http://gestyy.com/w65jdn ►Hanon exercises to improve the piano fingerwork 🖐🏽: http://gestyy.com/w64QhM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Things I recommend that I paid for to practice Jazz Piano: ►My current digital piano is the Roland RP501r 🎹: https://amzn.to/2QB4SvG ►iReal Pro app to practice with backing tracks 📲: https://amzn.to/2MS0Ca3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #jellyrollmorton #neworleansblues #classicjazz #piano #solopiano #ragtime #earlyjazz #classicjazzpiano #soloclassicjazzpiano #synthesia #jellyrollmortonsynthesia #jellyrollmortonrecordings #ragtimepiano #itsRemco

Peace Piece by Bill Evans from the album Everybody Digs Bill Evans Wikipedia: William John Evans was an American jazz pianist and composer who mostly played in trios. His use of impressionist harmony, inventive interpretation of traditional jazz repertoire, block chords, and trademark rhythmically independent, "singing" melodic lines continue to influence jazz pianists today. Born in Plainfield, New Jersey, in 1929, he was classically trained at Southeastern Louisiana University and the Mannes School of Music, where he majored in composition and received the Artist Diploma. In 1955, he moved to New York City, where he worked with bandleader and theorist George Russell. In 1958, Evans joined Miles Davis's sextet, which in 1959, then immersed in modal jazz, recorded Kind of Blue, the best-selling jazz album of all time. During that time, Evans was also playing with Chet Baker for the album Chet. In late 1959, Evans left the Miles Davis band and began his career as a leader, with bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian, a group now regarded as a seminal modern jazz trio. In 1961, ten days after finishing an engagement at the New York Village Vanguard jazz club, LaFaro died in a car accident. After months of seclusion, Evans re-emerged with a new trio, featuring bassist Chuck Israels. In 1963, Evans recorded Conversations with Myself, a solo album using the unconventional technique of overdubbing over himself. In 1966, he met bassist Eddie Gómez, with whom he would work for eleven years. Many of Evans's compositions, such as "Waltz for Debby", have become standards, played and recorded by many artists. Evans was honored with 31 Grammy nominations and seven awards, and was inducted into the Down Beat Jazz Hall of Fame.

Charles-Louis Hanon Piano exercises 1- 20 in the key of E Free Hanon PDF's: https://www.hanon-online.com/all-piano-exercises Tempo = 50 BPM Wikipedia: Charles-Louis Hanon (2 July 1819 – 19 March 1900) was a French piano pedagogue and composer. He is best known for his work The Virtuoso Pianist in 60 Exercises, which is still used today for modern piano teaching, but over the years the method has also faced criticisms. He was born in Renescure, France in 1819, and died in Boulogne-sur-Mer in 1900. Charles-Louis Hanon was born in northern France in the village of Renescure on July 2, 1819. Trained as an organist by a local teacher, it is not known if he received more advanced musical education. At age 27, he moved a short distance east from Renescure to Boulogne-sur-Mer where he lived with his brother François who was also a musician. Music was never the exclusive focus of Hanon's life: he was also a devout Roman Catholic, a Third Order Franciscan and a member of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. It is known from an 1869 article that Hanon was involved with a monastic order called the "Brothers of the Christian Schools". Founded in the 17th century by Saint John Baptist de la Salle, the schools run by the order provide free instruction to poor children. One such school was established in Boulogne-sur-Mer in approximately 1815 by Léon de Chanlaire and Father Benoît-Agathon Haffreingue; free music instruction was offered there by 1830. Piano students all over the world know of Hanon's famous training exercises. Both Sergei Rachmaninoff and Josef Lhévinne claimed Hanon to be the secret of why the Russian piano school delivered an explosion of virtuosi in their time, for the Hanon exercises have been obligatory for a long time throughout Russian conservatories; there were special examinations at which one had to know all exercises by heart, to be played in all keys at high speed. Although most respected pedagogues and pianists acknowledge the value of Hanon's exercises, they have their detractors.[3] Some critics have questioned the merits of the independent finger technique which the exercises seek to cultivate, with some pedagogues, such as Abby Whiteside, considering them to be actively harmful. It has become a custom in some music schools to hold a Hanon Marathon, in which the exercises are played competitively, the Church Street School for Music and Art being the first to have coined the term and hold the event. Hanon also wrote 50 instructional pieces, Méthode Élémentaire de Piano, and a collection of 50 Ecclesiastical Chants. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ►Follow me on Instagram 📸: http://instagram.com/its.Remco ►Follow me on Reddit 🤖: http://reddit.com/user/its_remco ►Add me on Discord 💻: itsRemco # 0827 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My free practice recommendations I use myself: ►Perfect Ear app to train your hearing (Android & IOS) 👂🏽: http://gestyy.com/w65gXL ►Complete Music Reading Trainer (Only Android) 👀: http://gestyy.com/w65jdn ►Hanon exercises to improve the piano fingerwork 🖐🏽: http://gestyy.com/w64QhM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Things I recommend that I paid for to practice Jazz Piano: ►My current digital piano is the Roland RP501r 🎹: https://amzn.to/2QB4SvG ►iReal Pro app to practice with backing tracks 📲: https://amzn.to/2MS0Ca3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0:00:00 - Hanon Exercise 1 In E 0:01:16 - Hanon Exercise 2 In E 0:02:28 - Hanon Exercise 3 In E 0:03:40 - Hanon Exercise 4 In E 0:04:52 - Hanon Exercise 5 In E 0:06:04 - Hanon Exercise 6 In E 0:07:16 - Hanon Exercise 7 In E 0:08:28 - Hanon Exercise 8 In E 0:09:40 - Hanon Exercise 9 In E 0:10:52 - Hanon Exercise 10 In E 0:12:04 - Hanon Exercise 11 In E 0:13:16 - Hanon Exercise 12 In E 0:14:30 - Hanon Exercise 13 In E 0:15:42 - Hanon Exercise 14 In E 0:16:54 - Hanon Exercise 15 In E 0:18:06 - Hanon Exercise 16 In E 0:19:18 - Hanon Exercise 17 In E 0:20:28 - Hanon Exercise 18 In E 0:21:40 - Hanon Exercise 19 In E 0:22:52 - Hanon Exercise 20 In E #hanon #pianoexercise #synthesia #practicepiano #piano #pianomusic #pianolessons #musiclessons #musiclesson #learning #learn #letsplay #exercices #classicalmusic #itsRemco

Blues Garni by Erroll Garner Transcribed by Paul Marcorelles from @BlueBlackJazz check out the transcription: https://blueblackjazz.com/en/transcription/227/227-erroll-garner-blues-garni-db-maj-transcription-pdf And of course check out his site for all available transcriptions: https://www.blueblackjazz.com Original recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQaPMoLc8RI Wikipedia: Erroll Louis Garner was an American jazz pianist and composer known for his swing playing and ballads. His best-known composition, the ballad "Misty", has become a jazz standard. Scott Yanow of Allmusic calls him "one of the most distinctive of all pianists" and a "brilliant virtuoso." He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6363 Hollywood Blvd. His live album, Concert by the Sea, first released in 1955, sold over a million copies by 1958 and Scott Yanow's opinion is: "this is the album that made such a strong impression that Garner was considered immortal from then on." Garner was born with his twin brother Ernest in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on June 15, 1921, the youngest of six children in an African-American family. He attended George Westinghouse High School (as did fellow pianists Billy Strayhorn and Ahmad Jamal). Interviews with his family and music teachers (and with other musicians), plus a detailed family tree are given in Erroll Garner: The Most Happy Piano by James M Doran. Garner began playing piano at the age of three. His elder siblings were taught piano by Miss Bowman. From an early age, Erroll would sit down and play anything she had demonstrated, just like Miss Bowman, his eldest sister Martha said. Garner was self-taught and remained an "ear player" all his life, never learning to read music. At age seven, he began appearing on the radio station KDKA in Pittsburgh with a group called the Candy Kids. By age 11, he was playing on the Allegheny riverboats. In 1937 he joined local saxophonist Leroy Brown. He played locally in the shadow of his older pianist brother Linton Garner.

Desecration Rag by Felix Arndt Sequenced by: Warren S. Trachtman Wikipedia: Felix Arndt (May 20, 1889 – October 16, 1918) was an American pianist and composer of popular music. His mother was the Countess Fevrier, related to Napoleon III. His father, Hugo Arndt, was Swiss-born. Educated in New York (his music teachers included Carl Lachmund), Arndt composed songs for the famous vaudeville team of Jack Norworth and Nora Bayes, and recorded over 3000 piano rolls for Duo-Art and QRS Records. He died in New York City from the "Spanish flu" influenza. Arndt is interred at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Tarrytown, NY. Arndt is best remembered for his 1915 composition "Nola," written as an engagement gift to his fiancée (and later wife), Nola Locke. It is sometimes considered to be the first example of the novelty piano or "novelty ragtime" genre, published by Sam Fox Publishing Company. It was the signature theme of the Vincent Lopez orchestra, and a top ten hit for Les Paul in 1950. A vocal recording by Billy Williams, featuring lyrics by Sunny Skylar, became a minor hit in 1959.

Tricky Fingers by Eubie Blake This is the rendition by @Nigel Coxe Original recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fBinMmpVYg Info about Eubie Blake: Everyone cherished Eubie Blake, particularly in his later years. A lovable character who had survived a long lean period, in the 1970s he was the last major survivor of the ragtime era. While a few of his claims ended up being fictional, the fact that he was still performing joyful vintage music in his nineties was remarkable enough. James Hubert “Eubie” Blake always said that he was born in Baltimore, Maryland on February 7, 1883, but in 2003 it was discovered (through research into the U.S. Census, his social security records and passports) that he actually arrived on February 7, 1887. His parents were former slaves and Eubie was the only one of their children to survive more than a few years. When he was four or five, Eubie was in a music store with his mother and started spontaneously playing some ideas on the organ, amazing the store manager. Soon his parents purchased an organ and at seven he began receiving music lessons from a church musician and he was soon doubling on piano. When he was 15 in 1902, he worked as a pianist at Aggie Shelton’s bordello in Baltimore, the first of many jobs he had performing rags and popular melodies from the era at sporting houses, saloons, and with medicine shows.

Music was never the exclusive focus of Hanon's life: he was also a devout Roman Catholic, a Third Order Franciscan and a member of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. It is known from an 1869 article that Hanon was involved with a monastic order called the "Brothers of the Christian Schools". Founded in the 17th century by Saint John Baptist de la Salle, the schools run by the order provide free instruction to poor children. One such school was established in Boulogne-sur-Mer in approximately 1815 by Léon de Chanlaire and Father Benoît-Agathon Haffreingue; free music instruction was offered there by 1830. Piano students all over the world know of Hanon's famous training exercises. Both Sergei Rachmaninoff and Josef Lhévinne claimed Hanon to be the secret of why the Russian piano school delivered an explosion of virtuosi in their time, for the Hanon exercises have been obligatory for a long time throughout Russian conservatories; there were special examinations at which one had to know all exercises by heart, to be played in all keys at high speed. Although most respected pedagogues and pianists acknowledge the value of Hanon's exercises, they have their detractors.[3] Some critics have questioned the merits of the independent finger technique which the exercises seek to cultivate, with some pedagogues, such as Abby Whiteside, considering them to be actively harmful. It has become a custom in some music schools to hold a Hanon Marathon, in which the exercises are played competitively, the Church Street School for Music and Art being the first to have coined the term and hold the event. Hanon also wrote 50 instructional pieces, Méthode Élémentaire de Piano, and a collection of 50 Ecclesiastical Chants. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ►Follow me on Instagram 📸: http://instagram.com/its.Remco ►Follow me on Reddit 🤖: http://reddit.com/user/its_remco ►Add me on Discord 💻: itsRemco # 0827 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My free practice recommendations I use myself: ►Perfect Ear app to train your hearing (Android & IOS) 👂🏽: http://gestyy.com/w65gXL ►Complete Music Reading Trainer (Only Android) 👀: http://gestyy.com/w65jdn ►Hanon exercises to improve the piano fingerwork 🖐🏽: http://gestyy.com/w64QhM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Things I recommend that I paid for to practice Jazz Piano: ►My current digital piano is the Roland RP501r 🎹: https://amzn.to/2QB4SvG ►iReal Pro app to practice with backing tracks 📲: https://amzn.to/2MS0Ca3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0:00:00 - Hanon Exercise 1 In Eb 0:01:16 - Hanon Exercise 2 In Eb 0:02:28 - Hanon Exercise 3 In Eb 0:03:40 - Hanon Exercise 4 In Eb 0:04:52 - Hanon Exercise 5 In Eb 0:06:04 - Hanon Exercise 6 In Eb 0:07:16 - Hanon Exercise 7 In Eb 0:08:28 - Hanon Exercise 8 In Eb 0:09:40 - Hanon Exercise 9 In Eb 0:10:52 - Hanon Exercise 10 In Eb 0:12:04 - Hanon Exercise 11 In Eb 0:13:16 - Hanon Exercise 12 In Eb 0:14:30 - Hanon Exercise 13 In Eb 0:15:42 - Hanon Exercise 14 In Eb 0:16:54 - Hanon Exercise 15 In Eb 0:18:06 - Hanon Exercise 16 In Eb 0:19:18 - Hanon Exercise 17 In Eb 0:20:28 - Hanon Exercise 18 In Eb 0:21:40 - Hanon Exercise 19 In Eb 0:22:52 - Hanon Exercise 20 In Eb #hanon #pianoexercise #synthesia #practicepiano #piano #pianomusic #pianolessons #musiclessons #musiclesson #learning #learn #letsplay #exercices #classicalmusic #itsRemco

Dictys On Seventh Avenue by Eubie Blake Sequenced by: Warren S. Trachtman This is the rendition by Morten Gunnar Larsen Original recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_VLCrLBMuw Info about Eubie Blake: Everyone cherished Eubie Blake, particularly in his later years. A lovable character who had survived a long lean period, in the 1970s he was the last major survivor of the ragtime era. While a few of his claims ended up being fictional, the fact that he was still performing joyful vintage music in his nineties was remarkable enough. James Hubert “Eubie” Blake always said that he was born in Baltimore, Maryland on February 7, 1883, but in 2003 it was discovered (through research into the U.S. Census, his social security records and passports) that he actually arrived on February 7, 1887. His parents were former slaves and Eubie was the only one of their children to survive more than a few years. When he was four or five, Eubie was in a music store with his mother and started spontaneously playing some ideas on the organ, amazing the store manager. Soon his parents purchased an organ and at seven he began receiving music lessons from a church musician and he was soon doubling on piano. When he was 15 in 1902, he worked as a pianist at Aggie Shelton’s bordello in Baltimore, the first of many jobs he had performing rags and popular melodies from the era at sporting houses, saloons, and with medicine shows.

Combination March by Scott Joplin Sequenced by: Colin D. MacDonald Wikipedia: Scott Joplin was an American composer and pianist. Joplin achieved fame for his ragtime compositions and was dubbed the King of Ragtime. During his brief career, he wrote 44 original ragtime pieces, one ragtime ballet, and two operas. One of his first and most popular pieces, the "Maple Leaf Rag", became ragtime's first and most influential hit, and has been recognized as the archetypal rag. Joplin grew up in a musical family of railway laborers in Texarkana, Arkansas, and developed his own musical knowledge with the help of local teachers. While in Texarkana, Texas, he formed a vocal quartet and taught mandolin and guitar. During the late 1880s he left his job as a railroad laborer and travelled the American South as an itinerant musician. He went to Chicago for the World's Fair of 1893, which played a major part in making ragtime a national craze by 1897. Joplin moved to Sedalia, Missouri, in 1894 and earned a living as a piano teacher. There he taught future ragtime composers Arthur Marshall, Scott Hayden and Brun Campbell. He began publishing music in 1895, and publication of his "Maple Leaf Rag" in 1899 brought him fame. This piece had a profound influence on writers of ragtime. It also brought Joplin a steady income for life, though he did not reach this level of success again and frequently had financial problems. In 1901 Joplin moved to St. Louis, where he continued to compose and publish, and regularly performed in the community. The score to his first opera A Guest of Honor was confiscated in 1903 with his belongings for non-payment of bills, and is now considered lost. In 1907, Joplin moved to New York City to find a producer for a new opera. He attempted to go beyond the limitations of the musical form that made him famous, but without much monetary success. His second opera, Treemonisha, was never fully staged during his lifetime. In 1916, Joplin descended into dementia as a result of syphilis. He was admitted to a mental institution in January 1917, and died there three months later at the age of 48. Joplin's death is widely considered to mark the end of ragtime as a mainstream music format; over the next several years, it evolved with other styles into stride, jazz, and eventually big band swing. Joplin's music was rediscovered and returned to popularity in the early 1970s with the release of a million-selling album recorded by Joshua Rifkin. This was followed by the Academy Award-winning 1973 film The Sting that featured several of Joplin's compositions, most notably "The Entertainer", whose performance by pianist Marvin Hamlisch received wide airplay. Treemonisha was finally produced in full, to wide acclaim, in 1972. In 1976, Joplin was posthumously awarded a Pulitzer Prize. This video quote: "Don't play this piece fast. It is never right to play ragtime fast." - Scott Joplin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ►Follow me on Instagram 📸: http://instagram.com/its.Remco ►Follow me on Reddit 🤖: http://reddit.com/user/its_remco ►Add me on Discord 💻: itsRemco # 0827 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My free practice recommendations I use myself: ►Perfect Ear app to train your hearing (Android & IOS) 👂🏽: http://gestyy.com/w65gXL ►Complete Music Reading Trainer (Only Android) 👀: http://gestyy.com/w65jdn ►Hanon exercises to improve the piano fingerwork 🖐🏽: http://gestyy.com/w64QhM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Things I recommend that I paid for to practice Jazz Piano: ►My current digital piano is the Roland RP501r 🎹: https://amzn.to/2QB4SvG ►iReal Pro app to practice with backing tracks 📲: https://amzn.to/2MS0Ca3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #scottjoplin #combinationmarch #ragtime #kingofragtime #rag #ragtimesynthesia #ragtimepiano #pianosyncopation #ragtimecomposer #joplin #synthesia #scottjoplintutorial #ragtimetutorial #scottjoplinsynthesia #itsRemco

Bach Up To Me by Dick Hyman Transcribed by Paul Marcorelles from BlueBlackJazz.com check out the transcription: https://blueblackjazz.com/en/transcription/214/214-dick-hyman-bach-up-to-me-f-maj-transcription-pdf And of course check out his site for all available transcriptions: https://www.blueblackjazz.com Original recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=854k0b43aVg Wikipedia: Richard Hyman (born March 8, 1927) is an American jazz pianist and composer. Over a 70-year career, he has worked as a pianist, organist, arranger, music director, electronic musician, and composer. He was named a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters fellow in 2017. His grandson is designer and artist Adam Charlap Hyman. As a pianist, Hyman has been praised for his versatility. DownBeat magazine characterized him as "a pianist of longstanding grace and bountiful talent, with an ability to adapt to nearly any historical style, from stride to bop to modernist sound-painting." Hyman was born in New York City on March 8, 1927 to Joseph C. Hyman and Lee Roven, and grew up in suburban Mount Vernon, New York. His older brother, Arthur, owned a jazz record collection and introduced him to the music of Bix Beiderbecke and Art Tatum. Hyman was trained classically by his mother's brother, the concert pianist Anton Rovinsky, who premiered The Celestial Railroad by Charles Ives in 1928.[8] Hyman said of Rovinsky: "He was my most important teacher. I learned touch from him and a certain amount of repertoire, especially Beethoven. On my own I pursued Chopin. I loved his ability to take a melody and embellish it in different arbitrary ways, which is exactly what we do in jazz. Chopin would have been a terrific jazz pianist! His waltzes are in my improvising to this day." Hyman enlisted in the U.S. Army in June 1945, and was transferred to the U.S. Navy band department. “Once I got into the band department, I was working with much more experienced musicians than I was used to," Hyman once stated. "I’d played in a couple of kid bands in New York, playing dances, but the Navy meant business — I had to show up, read music, and be with a bunch of better players than I had run into." After leaving the Navy he attended Columbia College. While there, Hyman won a piano competition, for which the prize was 12 free lessons with swing-era pianist Teddy Wilson Hyman has said that he "fell in love with jazz" during this period. @Dick Hyman - Topic @Fats Waller - Topic @BlueBlackJazz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ►Follow me on Instagram 📸: http://instagram.com/its.Remco ►Follow me on Reddit 🤖: http://reddit.com/user/its_remco ►Add me on Discord 💻: itsRemco # 0827 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My free practice recommendations I use myself: ►Perfect Ear app to train your hearing (Android & IOS) 👂🏽: http://gestyy.com/w65gXL ►Complete Music Reading Trainer (Only Android) 👀: http://gestyy.com/w65jdn ►Hanon exercises to improve the piano fingerwork 🖐🏽: http://gestyy.com/w64QhM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Things I recommend that I paid for to practice Jazz Piano: ►My current digital piano is the Roland RP501r 🎹: https://amzn.to/2QB4SvG ►iReal Pro app to practice with backing tracks 📲: https://amzn.to/2MS0Ca3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #stridepiano #dickhyman #bachuptome #swingpiano #piano #tutorial #earlyjazz #classicjazz #synthesia #dickhymantutorial #swing #roaringtwenties #dickhymansynthesia #itsremco #blueblackjazz

He is best known for his work The Virtuoso Pianist in 60 Exercises, which is still used today for modern piano teaching, but over the years the method has also faced criticisms. He was born in Renescure, France in 1819, and died in Boulogne-sur-Mer in 1900. Charles-Louis Hanon was born in northern France in the village of Renescure on July 2, 1819.

Off Minor by Thelonious Monk Wikipedia: Thelonious Sphere Monk was an American jazz pianist and composer. He had a unique improvisational style and made numerous contributions to the standard jazz repertoire, including "'Round Midnight", "Blue Monk", "Straight, No Chaser", "Ruby, My Dear", "In Walked Bud", and "Well, You Needn't". Monk is the second-most-recorded jazz composer after Duke Ellington. Monk's compositions and improvisations feature dissonances and angular melodic twists and are consistent with his unorthodox approach to the piano, which combined a highly percussive attack with abrupt, dramatic use of switched key releases, silences, and hesitations. His style was not universally appreciated; the poet and jazz critic Philip Larkin dismissed him as "the elephant on the keyboard". Monk was renowned for a distinct look which included suits, hats, and sunglasses. He was also noted for an idiosyncratic habit during performances: while other musicians continued playing, Monk would stop, stand up, and dance for a few moments before returning to the piano. Monk is one of five jazz musicians to have been featured on the cover of Time magazine (the others being Louis Armstrong, Dave Brubeck, Duke Ellington and Wynton Marsalis).

You're just supposed to know it when you hear it." - Thelonious Monk @Thelonious Monk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ►Follow me on Instagram 📸: http://instagram.com/its.Remco ►Follow me on Reddit 🤖: http://reddit.com/user/its_remco ►Add me on Discord 💻: itsRemco # 0827 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My free practice recommendations I use myself: ►Perfect Ear app to train your hearing (Android & IOS) 👂🏽: http://gestyy.com/w65gXL ►Complete Music Reading Trainer (Only Android) 👀: http://gestyy.com/w65jdn ►Hanon exercises to improve the piano fingerwork 🖐🏽: http://gestyy.com/w64QhM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Things I recommend that I paid for to practice Jazz Piano: ►My current digital piano is the Roland RP501r 🎹: https://amzn.to/2QB4SvG ►iReal Pro app to practice with backing tracks 📲: https://amzn.to/2MS0Ca3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #theloniousmonk #offminor #jazz #stridepiano #solopianojazz #pianojazz #syncopation #synthesia #piano #pianotutorial #thelonious #monk #jazzstandard #monk
