About this title

Synopsis

This piano instruction book by jazz educator David Pearl presents a structured collection of 100 focused lessons designed to build practical jazz keyboard skills. Created for developing players, it offers a clear path into jazz styles, improvisation, and harmonic understanding while supporting confident, real-world playing at the keyboard.

Part of the Keyboard Lesson Goldmine series, the book guides pianists through essential concepts using clearly explained examples and play-along audio. It is well suited for players looking to strengthen their approach to jazz through organized, progressive modules that connect theory directly to performance in a practical, musical way.

Throughout the lessons, players explore scales, modes, chord progressions, voicings, and stylistic ideas including Latin jazz. Each concept is reinforced with audio demonstrations, helping you hear phrasing, articulation, and groove in context. The included PLAYBACK+ tools allow tempo adjustment, looping, key changes, and channel control, making practice more flexible, interactive, and efficient for daily use.

The material is designed to develop both technical ability and musical expression, encouraging a more fluid and creative approach to playing. Whether working on improvisation ideas, refining harmonic voicings, or expanding stylistic awareness, the lessons promote steady, manageable progress while keeping practice engaging and rewarding.
