    Best channel on UA-cam teaching jazz piano!!! I’m so happy that I found your channel. I was trained as a classical pianist since I was a child and always wondered how jazz pianists improv’ed those magical sounds and rhythms on the piano. I’m slowly absorbing everything you’re teaching in these videos... I can already see how my harmonies and rhythms are becoming a little more jazzy already!! Thank you SO much for doing what you do!!!!

    your lessons are magic Oliver. i have wanted for years to learn piano and knew that improvisation was the way, but just didn't know where to begin. after finding you i challenged myself to show up for 10 minutes a day and just try the black keys improvisation. i find that i get going and little bits from this lesson find their way into the black keys improv and then i keep going and really feel it and completely forget about any agenda or worry about 'getting good' or if i'm learning enough. finally i'm just able to enjoy playing music naturally without drowning in ultimatums or dragging myself through rote practices.

    Wow! I am learning and absorbing just by watching this. This is definitely liberating to just watch knowing that it will set my fingers free. I hope whoever gave this video a thumbs down did it by mistake, if not, they need a mental diagnosis. This man is absolutely one of the best teachers, period! Thank you for sharing your passion.

    Wow, Oliver! You've created an entire course in one video with your unique and incredibly useful approach.

I've sent a little contribution your way so you can have enjoy a good sandwich and beverage or maybe a tasty appetizer.

    These videos are so great. It's not just the theoretic stuff which is explained in a great way, but you can just sense the joy of music and playing that's radiating from them instead of just the dry stuff, and it's contagious and inspiring!

    I began listening to Jazz after discovering Ornette, Cecil and a couple more. It was an internal feeling of liberation so strong I decided to try and learn to play Free Jazz ...guitar, every time a new lesson comes I feel closer. I love you, Oliver! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    Been working on this for the past few days. Last night I got to 2.4 and even though I didn't get to the free play part yet, I literally stopped at one point laughing uncontrollably. It was silly, brilliant, nutty and liberating all at the same time. Can't wait what the next exercises in this video have in store for me. Thank you! Oh and btw, if you switch switch thumb placement after 2 of the 4 16th notes, this exercise is A LOT harder than what it looks like.

    Very happy with a new lesson and listening to your calm voice. It kinda reflects the "after" situation. At first, I find myself struggling with new patterns. But once my brain is switched to do so, it's very easy to be so calm and relaxed in playing.
