Description
Book Introduction
The best jazz piano introduction book! The Jazz Piano Self-Study Guidebook is a book that will help you learn the fundamentals of jazz piano. It contains the know-how of the author (Park Turtle), who is a YouTuber with 100,000 subscribers and is active as a music creator. It consists of the following order: walking, scale, comping, and stride (ragtime). This book will help you develop the ability to improvise on your own, rather than simply follow along with jazz performances. So the theory part and the 12 keys practice part are separated. It goes beyond theoretical explanations and provides a variety of resources to help with actual performance. We provide free YouTube lectures conducted by the author himself, so that even self-studying students and beginners can watch them without burden. |

Into the book
Jazz piano techniques vary between right-hand and left-hand players depending on the playing situation.
Especially for comping, which is responsible for accompaniment, it can be used with both the left and right hands.
So, it's a good idea to start practicing by assuming a specific situation.
You need to understand and practice the situation, whether it's playing a piano solo by yourself, playing a melody-centered performance with a stable bass, or playing an accompaniment that supports the melody.
This way you can use drum loops or ask a friend to sing along to you while you practice.
Practicing without understanding the performance situation will result in confusion in actual performance.

You can supplement parts that you didn't understand from books alone and watch actual performance videos.
