29:55 Jeremy Plays "All of ME"
Hi Jeremy, coming from classical background, it always puzzled me why a 32-measure tune should take so long to commit to memory when I used to perform 3, 4-movement sonatas from memory. Apparently, I haven't been doing it the right way! Thanks for another great video... and you are so brave to sing, changing octaves up and down. It made me smile!
That playing at the end made me drop my jaw and the tangerine I was eating with it! Bravo Jeremy! One thing I'd really be curious to hear you talk about is ear training and developing a good ear training routine (if there is a need for one) for a jazz musician. Consider making a video on the subject someday!
Hello Jeremy, I am a newcomer to your channel, but what a delight to have found such a gifted musician.
Your down-to-earth nature and willingness to be seen and heard as you are makes you uniquely genuine as a true musician and a wonderfully good man.
No one could, on the spur of the moment, let loose and play a tune with such beauty, grace, and freshness as you had just then of "All of me".
I hope you can one day give us the pleasure of hearing you perform live where I am, in Brisbane, Australia.
Thank you again, Jeremy, for sharing your excellent gifts as a pianist and a wonderfully inspiring teacher.

May God bless you richly.

Love those 2 octave melody lines in the improv at the end. So effortless!
Thanks, bro!!!
Even for a nonpianist it's very instructive. I have allready learn a lot from you. Especially the video with your friend John Mortensen, where you two were discussing my problems as a classical educated musician. Thank you !
Awesome! Enjoy, ole!
Great rendition, it would shortly raise a toast in every bar across the Argentine.
Tip number 10 really cheered me up. I've been working on Autumn Leaves for a couple of weeks now! Maybe I'll try Tangerine next!
I admire your courage to be vulnerable and put yourself out there and demonstrate what your teaching. So Awesome!! 👏. Everything you said makes so much sense after you say it. Really appreciate your time!!
Tangerine! Loved your improv solo at the end. These tips were very helpful, especially to sing the melody and then also the roots and 3rd above the root. Also writing it out. You are very encouraging -- thanks!
My pleasure! Happy practicing!
Thanks for the helpful video Jeremy - it was fresh and fruity and juicy!
I have bought bigger speakers now so I can hear more of your lessons while doing chores.
Great lesson as always and very good video layout, dynamic and clear! I promise I will try to do all of it! All of it..why not take all of it?
I totally enjoyed this video. Great tips Jeremy, thank you!
Awesome, thanks, Rachel!
Excellent .. thank you
I needed these tips!! Thank you!! tangerine!!!
Yay! I’m so glad they’re useful, Jacob! Happy memorizing!
Great lesson. Thanks Jeremy.
My pleasure, Federico! Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks v much Jeremy--really interesting and thoughtful tips--will give some a try--esp. for me these resonate--"thinking in chunks", singing bass note, and transposing early on (can see how that could really solidify the changes in original key too). And special bonus on your awesomely swinging version of All of Me at the end--definitely on your "A List" of tunes!
Thanks much, Jon!
Great Lesson, as always, Jeremy! Just a quick question: when you learn a new standard, at which phase start the re-harmonization process?
excellent crooning Jeremy
Why thank you, Casey. I'm thinking about switching to being a singer full time! 😂
Awesome video, Jeremy... Tangerines all the way.
Awesome! Thanks, Stuart!
Is this helpful for a beginner in jazz? I have more than decent music theory more in the classical side. How do Iearn a jazz standard? Any videos?
I think the reasonm its so hard to memorize jazz tunes is the chord changes are so simliar..most are 2-5-1 and 1-6-2-5's
Hi Jereme
I'm so jealous that you can reach tenths so easily!
That hand-stretching machine has really paid off! 😂
Jeremy Siskind LOL : D
I literally gave up on your book in the first inning when you introduced 10ths in your ragtime style...I know, that’s a lame excuse 😔
@@matthewgriffiths9642 You can roll a tenth too. In my opinion, it doesn't sound as good though. Also, another piano professional says that you can use a 1 and 5 (example, C and G. a 5th apart instead of C and E, a tenth apart) if you can't reach a 10th. I do the one and five example. I'm not sure about ragtime, but the other guy does it for stride. So, for example, in the left hand you play that C and G and then an octave above that, you can play a rootless chord or just a 3 and 7 (E and B flat) all below middle C of course.
Tangerine!!!!!!!!
Why sing roots or thirds if that's not the melody?
Because you’re training your ear to hear the harmony when you improvise (or accompany)
@@JeremySiskind ok
TANGERINE!!!!!!!!!
Why write it out instead of playing it?
This section is about training your brain rather than your muscle memory. At your instrument, you can often rely on feel, but under pressure that feel may not be reliable, so you want to make sure you know everything away from the instrument (in your intellect) as well.
@@JeremySiskind That explains it, thank you, I play the guitar and I'm having a hell of a time remembering popular tunes, not jazz, especially when I play a occasional gig.
