      The present is already there at your piano. Sure helps to play for 2 decades before sitting down though. So disheartening to try and play arrangements of Jacob's after nothing having touched my piano in easily 4 years now. So much work to catch back up on! One day tho! Keep inspiring me with these arrangements

      That gentleman is gifted…no written music in front of him. I would play a four-hour gig without looking at a written note but absolutely nowhere near the intricacies of this guy. I love the alternate jazz chords!

As i’m beginning to enjoy piano for the first time even after 15 years of lessons, I hope to incorporate at least half as good the way wonderful arrangements you included here. I’ll have to see what other stuff you have.

    Hi, just want to let you know, I just bought your pdf because I'm so amazed with all of your arrangements and playing (sadly the pdf version doesn't have cover like book edition 😬), but anyway very glad that you're a teacher too, all the notes are neatly written. I notice you play wide range of chords (10 notes, where my hand only reaches 9 notes) which I find difficult for my hand to stretch like yours 😅 but afterall I like your book a lot! Thank you 😁

    • @JacobKollerMusic
      @JacobKollerMusic  5 років тому +1

      Yosefien Moudy thank you so much. The only reason I didn’t include the cover in the ebook is because it makes the file considerably larger which makes it harder to use in applications. I felt bad about leaving it out though. Anyway. Thanks so much for the comment and for playing my arrangements!

    Excellent! Yet another great piece. I haven’t found anyone else with such stunning arrangements that are so affordable. I’ve bought Jacob’s other music before, and I’d really suggest getting one to anyone considering it. For five dollars you can get hours and hours of entertainment, so do yourself a favor and help support him at the same time!

    Jacob … I recently discovered your videos and I’m not sure I’ve seen anyone have such a command of piano skills. You seem to be to the piano what Guthrie Govan is to the guitar. Thank you for sharing.

    I love it so much that I don't know jazz. Can I get some music so that I can play beautiful carols?
