Piano Methods

Now available, the first original publication from ilearnmusic.com founder, James Berry


    This 32-page guide will show you how to incorporate concepts of improvisation, chord structure, blues scales, and jazz standards as part of your traditional methods.  This guide is not meant to take the place of other traditional methods, but suppliment your lessons with jazz.  Kids love jazz and it is important that teachers know how to teach it.  This guide will take you through 10 lessons that start very easy and gradually get harder to challenge students to listen and immerse themselves in a whole new world.  It allows them to explore the piano and figure out the chord changes of the jazz standards we all know and love.  It is recommended that teachers also purchase supplimental recordings and books listed in this guide if you don't own them already.  Also included is a 15-track CD for you and your student to play along with.*

A kids-only book will be available soon, but for now the teachers guide is more than enough to get you and your student started on playing jazz.
