How to Play Jazz Piano

Learn to play the piano using my fun and easy method. If you would like to test-drive my free piano lessons, fill out the form on this page to see how I will teach you to play piano using my video-based piano lessons.

Now, I do not believe in "Learn the piano today" or "Play piano fast" methods. My teaching is built on solid piano theory that I have learned in my twenty plus years of performing on the piano and through my years at Berklee College of Music.

What does this mean for you? Well, if you want to learn how to play Jazz piano, you're gonna need to do your part...practice! I'll show you what and how to practice. It's then up to you to practice the concepts, theory and songs that I am showing you. Don't worry though, it is easy and fun.

Get started learning Jazz piano by first filling out the form to the right to get free piano lessons. This trial will let you "kick the tires" and test-drive the member's area. You will also get access to the User's forum where you can exchange ideas with me and other students.

For more piano lesson styles click on the Piano With Willie logo at the top of the page. There, you can choose other piano styles like jazz piano, blues piano, latin piano, funk keyboards and more.

Berklee is a fantastic school but I wouldn’t trade for a minute the education I get from you—even if their fee were the same as yours.

I'm a relatively advanced classical pianist. I found the lessons to be great! They're easy to understand and the website is very user friendly.

This is an excellent website. I've been working at improvisation for several years, but Willie Myette has given me a ton of fresh ideas about reharmonization--something I'd never--not being a professionally-trained musician--really considered before. Additionally, the site is very deep--with hours of practical, instructional videos on applying these concepts to standards (e.g., "All of Me," "Autumn Leaves," "Georgia") as well as to Christmas songs. Willie Myette really knows how to create popular music for public performance, and I'm very happy I found this site.

Whenever I see your DVD samples, I get inspired to go and play more. I really like the fact that you let us see that you make mistakes … because it lets us know (as students) that no matter how good we get (or think we are), we will inevitable make a mistake or two. It says, it’s OK to make a mistake. I thank you for that…..
…what I like most about Willie’s instructional procedures is that he doesn’t spend a lot of time “just talking”. He shows you (through his visuals) exactly what he is talking about. And we all know that a picture is worth a thousand words. I also believe in the old adage that “if the student fails to learn, the instructor has failed to teach.” I’ve learned quite a bit from Willie, thus, his instructional method is proof positive that he is an excellent teacher.

I have been a student of Willie for a couple of years. Before I found jazzpiano I was taking private jazz piano lessons, spending a lot of money and would come home completely frustrated! Willies online teaching approach has been a blessing for me and has taken my piano playing to a level I thought would take me many more years.

Just want you to know that I have had a lot of different piano (guitar and harmonica too) lesson books,
cd's, tape, etc. After reviewing your Improv material, I believe this will be the most helpful and inspiring material I have ever seen. I am mainly a blues guy but even so, your training in the approach to improv will be highly beneficial to any creative style or genre of playing. Thanks so much.
