Having the time to learn and practice will make this course intensive as well as a lot of fun! By learning in a group and using keyboards with headphones as well as an acoustic piano, students will have the space to explore and develop their playing. Classes will focus on the skills to play in a variety of formats. As well as developing solo piano skills you will also learn to play as a duo and part of a rhythm section. Playing piano in a more sophisticated style requires many skills and we will be looking at these areas during the week such as playing in many keys, being able to ‘voice’ chords and harmonic techniques (drop 2, rootless voicings.e.t.c..) We will be developing stronger rhythm and listening and copying ideas from the piano greats such as Bill Evans, McCoy Tyner, Hiromi, Chick Corea, Bud Powell, Wynton Kelly, Herbie Hancock, Eliane Elias, Keith Jarret and so on. Achieve your goal to become a more accomplished jazz musician and by the end of the week you should be able to see significant progress.

Based at the luxurious La Chartreuse country house retreat with our in-house French chef creating traditional dishes with local produce, this will be the holiday that unlocks your creativity in a friendly and encouraging environment.
