Joining our live workshops is the most effective way to build your jazz skills. These are interactive sessions on Zoom, hosted by our instructors and special guests, where you learn new techniques, play live and get feedback, and ask questions.
Acclaimed jazz pianist John Proulx will be joining us for a free jazz piano Zoom masterclass this Friday. I would love to have you join us.
John and I have been teaching alongside each other for a few years, and I really like his approach to teaching accompanying. So I asked him to come give us a masterclass on it.
John and I will discuss:
John Proulx is a singer, pianist, composer, and educator based in Los Angeles. He has performed alongside Anita O'Day, Natalie Cole, and Melissa Manchester, and has released four critically acclaimed albums.
As a composer, his songs have been recorded by jazz legends including Nancy Wilson, whose Grammy-winning album featured his co-written "These Golden Years," and Mary Stallings, who recorded two of his compositions. He has also co-written songs with and for Melissa Manchester, including a duet with Al Jarreau.
Proulx began classical piano training at age three in Grand Rapids, MI, later earning a Bachelor of Music from Roosevelt University's Chicago School of Performing Arts (1999) and a Master's in jazz vocal performance from Western Michigan University. He has appeared on NPR's Song Travels and Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz, and currently serves on faculty at Cal Poly Pomona and Cal State Long Beach.

All-Access Pass members join live workshops every Tuesday and Friday:
Plus unlimited access to 100+ workshop replays and the complete course library.
You're an intermediate player stuck despite years of practice and theory knowledge.
Maybe you're a classically trained pianist trying to break free from sheet music. Or a self-taught player who knows scales but can't make solos sound musical. You've been playing for decades but your improvisation still sounds mechanical.
You know what to play. You just don't know how to make it sound like real jazz.
That's exactly what these workshops fix.
Instruments welcome: Piano, guitar, bass, horns. Josh teaches from the piano, but the concepts work across all instruments.
