You are THE teacher I needed
It has been quite a while since I wanted to write to you to tell you how much I enjoy going through your ‘definitive improvisation course’ as well as through the ‘sweet sounds of jazz impro’. You are THE teacher I needed, and this for a number of reasons which I cannot describe in detail (you might get embarrassed! Also I cannot express myself very well, especially in english) but I would like to stress the two things I most appreciate in your courses: first, the absolute clarity of the explanations and examples, and second, the fact that you are showing, over and over again, that it can be so much fun playing the piano. I loved the introduction to the jazz course: don’t worry about the rythm... syncopation and dissonance are the key... I don’t even know what chord I am playing, as long as it sounds good, it’s okay.... and so on.
And now I also have fun when I sit at my piano, but it’s better if nobody is around as at this stage I experiment all the time and it is delightful (for me, but not for the listeners!).
I have a litte DVD/CD player I carry with me all around the house, specially in the kitchen, where it is ideal to watch/listen to an already known lesson while cooking or washing the dishes. Then I go to the piano, try to imitate you or do my own little things, then back again to the DVD and so on. So far I havn’t even let anything burn (the piano is not far from the kitchen), but the day this happens, I will be very happy, indeed!
