The Gift of Jazz introduces new online courses and is very pleased to announce that Peter Stoltzman will be leading their Saturday classes this semester.

Saturdays 10:00 am – 11:15 am – Jazz Piano: Solo Piano Intros and Arrangements

We will study varying solo piano styles and techniques, with references to Art Tatum, Mary Lou Williams, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, McCoy Tyner, Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Hiromi Uehara, and more. We will explore how solo piano is used in introductions and in full-length performances. Students will work on specific left hand techniques, two hand techniques, and create their own solo piano arrangements.
