How to play Piano? (Jazz Piano)?
Q. Well I'm not a beginner with it, I played it when i was in 2nd grade and quit 8th grade but all i learned was to play Sheet music and that's all.. I know reading sheet music is good but I want to learn jazz piano and not reading sheet music all day. Where should I start?
A. Start by getting a teacher for jazz piano.
Jazz is not about sheet music, but rather lead sheets. Lead sheets have the melody line and the chord that goes with it.
That means that there is no bass clef or chords-that's because you are supposed to make your own. This is where theory comes in; you need to know your basic chords (and then some)
The important part about reading lead sheets is to play the melody line, and if you are playing solo piano, the bass line. Then add the third and/or the seventh of the chord.
A good way to begin playing is by using bud powell's shells. Play the root chord and either the third or the seventh with your left hand, then the melody and the remaining third or seventh in your right hand.
As far as playing "music all day", it depends on how much you know about theory and music. Learn a couple chord progressions, study lead sheets and jazz standards, then you can start experimenting with the melody. What sounds good with the shells? After you play the melody, continually repeat the song's chord changes as you play notes in your right hand.
Most importantly, listen to jazz. Jazz is an art, and you learn about the art by studying the masters. Listen to piano players like wynton kelly, bill evans, oscar peterson, herbie hancock, red garland, to start with, and then see what you like.
This is a rather short, disjointed, scattered answer, but then again, I do not know your musical background, knowledge of theory, and your proficiency/ability level for piano. That is why it is important you find a teacher, so that he or she can guide you and show you what is best for you.
However, if this makes a little bit of sense, feel free to email with any questions you have, free of charge.
Jazz Keyboard Audition?
Q. Im looking to try out for the keyboard spot school jazz band (auditions are about 6 weeks away) but I don't have a clue what to practice. I haven't played any jazz on the piano before and all the "jazz lessons" on youtube are either to basic or too advanced to offer any help..
A. I would highly recommend Jazz Piano Voicing Skills by Dan Haerle. In this book you start with 7th chords and inversions around the circle of fourths. You also learn how to connect chords in jazz progressions (it sounds really cool). It's slightly different from connection of chords you have learned so far and you will probably like it more.
Anyway, if you can read, it will be easy to follow and progress through. It's kind of addictive. By the time you have gone through it (it won't take too long) you will be able to "comp" anything they put in front of you. It'll impress your teachers, especially if you are at the HS level.
