Jazz Piano School

Ever feel like you should be further along by now — in your playing, your work, or your life?
I feel that way too.
In this audio-only episode, I share one simple reminder I come back to whenever progress feels slower than I expected. It’s something I see constantly with jazz piano students — and something I have to practice myself just as much.
I also share a few important updates about the current structure of Jazz Piano School and why I’ve simplified everything around one clear path forward.
In this episode, I talk about:
• Why we consistently underestimate how long meaningful progress takes
• How rushing the process often creates more frustration, not better results
• What real, sustainable growth actually looks like over time
• The mindset shift that helps you stay patient and consistent
• Why Proficient Jazz Pianist (PJP) is now the single starting point inside Jazz Piano School
This is a reflective episode — less about tactics, more about perspective. If you’ve been feeling behind, stuck, or discouraged, this one’s meant to steady you and help you keep going.
Proficient Jazz Pianist (PJP)
The complete step-by-step system for building real jazz piano skills — comping, solo piano, and improvisation — without bouncing between random lessons or shortcuts.
This is now the only program I sell, and it’s the foundation for everything inside Jazz Piano School:
