This is a long way away — 4 weeks ago

I am still practicing an hour a day and seeing my teacher once a week, but I have to go through the process of re-learning my circle of fifths so that I can play any chord in any inversion, anywhere on the keyboard without thinking about it. I am still working on finger strength so each one can work independently of the others. I am just going to continue to focus on the blues, and now my teacher has thrown in some simple classical excercises so I can get used to that style.

How to Play Jazz Piano

Steps


Assuming you already know some very basic theory, first learn all 15 major scales (there are twelve different SOUNDING scales, but in theory B/Cb, F#/Gb and C#/Db are separate scales). Learning all the scales will be extremely helpful. .....
