This class prepares students for the Jazz Piano 1 class. Especially recommended for pianists with a classical background interested in breaking free of the printed page and learning how to interpret lead sheets and improvise. Handouts provided. Prerequisites: basic keyboard knowledge.
This class takes place IN-PERSON at the California Jazz Conservatory.
