How to have jazz piano lessons in the key of Ab

In these jazz piano lessons on video, lounge lizard Ryan Larson demonstrates not only how to improve your freestyle technique, but also how to read and write music on paper—since you are only able to improvise with as much as you know. Lessons include how to play 2-5 chords, how to do chord progressions in the key of Ab major, how to use sharps, flats and intervals, how to play bass lines, how to change chord voicings, and how to compose for jazz piano. Take a little bit of traditional music theory, mix it with creative improvisation, and you have a balanced, powerful approach to playing jazz keyboard. Enjoy!
