Jazz Yer Blues!

"Jazz Yer Blues" is a series of  lessons by Keyboardist/Composer David Arivett.  It is specifically designed for keyboardists who want to integrate more jazz into their blues playing and serves as an introduction to applying jazz to many genres. Since blues is the foundation that one must build on in order to play jazz , tracing the roots and connection between blues and jazz is vital and a fascinating study as well!

Of course these lesson are equally interesting to jazz players who are looking for some interesting twists, voicings, and progressions! Lessons also include transcribed examples from some of the legendary jazz keyboard players!  Styles covered are Funk, Fusion, Latin, Contemporary, and Gospel. 

How much do the keyboard teachers in your area charge for one lesson??? And how much material do they provide that is included in the price of each lesson???...usually nada-nothing! These are very affordable individual lessons and you get to keep all the learning material!

  • Each lesson includes audio samples, sheet music, play-along tracks (minus keys), midi file, and specific instructions.

  • Careful analysis of lesson material reveals how the blues influences and shapes jazz keyboardists playing, writing, and improvisation.

By studying musical examples, (both written and audio) you can take your playing to the next level!  Questions? E-mail me hereOr call toll free 1 (877) 385-2064
