Just by hearing your chord choices in these snippets of tunes like "All the Things You Are," I know it would be a pleasure to hear you in a full concert.
Forget this!! I have a hurricane outside my house (In Florida). You teach so well..I am joining you right now. You are a blessing. Schools don't always get it done for people like me, but your experience and manner stokes my desire to learn. Thank you so much! You are a gem.
I'm a jazz and classical guitarist in my 4th decade of exploration... this and other episodes of your content are both refreshing and invaluable corpuscles. Thank you. I enjoy learning how others experience music.
Amazing video! Thank you so much for all these different resources. As a beginner/intermediate pianist its nice to have some regiment to not just feel like im noodling endlessly
Wow. Thank you soo much!! I've been playing in churches for years but never understood the art of jazz before watching your videos. I love it!! Keep up the great work 🎉
Really love this! You’ve got a relaxed and very inviting teaching style and that practice sheet you put together is golden! Thanks for the effort. Hope the best for you and your channel!!
3:47 I agree that it is such a nice sound. Tight m6ths and diminisheds are so much fun to play and just enjoy the sound of. Loved it ever since I heard those old tunes that have the horns playing in that formation. Tight blocks with plenty of 6ths, delicious
I am thrilled to witness this teaching. I appreciate the female spirit in jazz! I gained so much insight from this small snippet of instruction. Look forward to more. Thank you!
Funny, but when I was studying music back in the early 80s, I could, and had to, practice for hours. These days I just can’t sit that long, nor do I find any pleasure in such intense practicing. I wonder if other folks in their 60s have a similar experience?
Hope you see this Ms, very informative and quality video so thank you for that! But also could u please tell me how you write on the screen for ur videos as I am trying to create my own content as well to preach
Hey great video practice that I’ll start to use now. I have a small advice for you which I discovered when I accidentally chop of my pedal cable but it helped me you can try to practice without pedal also
Hello Thembi, this is a very good encapsulation of what really is important here. bravo. The little offramps - such as bebop scales, chord tones scales are like little "click to see mores" . Firming up the knowledge while always keeping the big picture in mind (your 3 points). Practice is practice and playing is playing. but sometimes you can do a little of both!
Thanx so much, those block chords transports me the Harlem renaissance… 1nce again thanks for the generous resource of your time and knowledge…in your booklets .
I'm 20 seconds in. Your speaking voice and accent tickle my brain! I hope the information is good and I learn something, but I have a feeling I'm gonna watch the whole thing for that first reason alone 🥰
Very nice - thank you - gotta love sharp 11, diminished maj7 chords, and super locrian! You may be optimistic about having 3 hrs to practice ... I love how you sing with yourself - that's an important basic so many don't get told.
Sorry to put this question here but why you play the Bb and sound the A natural? Something is really wrong to match the video with sound that cames from the piano, And in the first Scale the fingers don't do the same scale.
@@thembelihledunjana Well you were very clear so perhaps you fall into the category that not only can you play you can teach with clarity too. Too many teachers are good at what they do but can’t simplify it across to others. A bit like a school maths teacher that’s good at what he does but not very good at teaching it or illustrating it across to his students. I guess when a master doesn’t mean you are a master at teaching. Anyway, can’t wait for your course as I play the piano a lot and love it (self taught). I was wondering, will your course encompass improvisation techniques? Can’t wait! 😃
Love your teaching. Please can you display your finger movement on the piano instead of colour code movement alone. So we can see your fingers technique
Thank you. The thing is I am not sure of what material to use if i´m a beginner in the jazz techniques. I would like to get like an all-in-one book or something, just to get started in jazz, what would you recommend?
The Mark Levine jazz piano book is a good place to start, I used it a lot to teach as well… Alternatively I do also have a booklet for beginners that you can check out in the description.
Practice everything within 1 hr: 20 mins of technique material; 20/20 for the other two categories. Alternatively: 1 hr of technique Monday, 1hr of cognitive playing on Tuesday, and 1hr of playing on Wednesday. Then repeat
I know you didn't ask me for my opinion 😊 but as I said in my comment, I've been playing for years... your hands and fingers are just like the rest of the body, requiring stretching and exercise (i.e., movement. I wish you well 😊
Hey. Is there a description for what is contained inside your “I wish I learned this at Jazz school” booklet? I’m not a complete beginner so trying to decide if it’s useful for me. Love you videos
Hi Alex. Thank you. The main purpose of the booklet is to help the learner understand where chords come from. So practicing scales as chords (in all 12 keys). Thereafter we do 3-note voicings over tune “Misty”, then choosing the right tensions for the tune. Lastly I speak about the importance of shell voicings as a fundamental for jazz players. This is covered over 3 modules and includes a video for more clarification.

Thank you for this lesson.

love your voice! great teaching too ;) thanks
Thank you for this video, I really didn’t know how to start or where to start being a beginner. So now I have a few things I can try.
Nicely done sweetness love it
Lovely piano playing. Some of the exercises sound so beautiful and your choice of songs are similar to mine. 😎
thank you so very much for sharing such helpful insights. this will definitely make a difference in my playing mostly practise time
I am thrilled to witness this teaching. I appreciate the female spirit in jazz! I gained so much insight from this small snippet of instruction. Look forward to more. Thank you!
You are awesome!!

I am Lost..can you hv all that in a book for practice?
Hope you see this Ms, very informative and quality video so thank you for that! But also could u please tell me how you write on the screen for ur videos as I am trying to create my own content as well to preach
This video will help: ruclips.net/video/kovGit0HIxE/видео.htmlsi=kOC848y2kdt8kTPF
You are amazing! I’m gonna start your practice methods and hope to be better each day
Terrific video and practice techniques! Thanks for sharing!
Such Excellent talent ! like that mood come from your fingers.
Hey great video practice that I’ll start to use now. I have a small advice for you which I discovered when I accidentally chop of my pedal cable but it helped me you can try to practice without pedal also
Such great feel and interpretation! Keep up the great work!! I hope also you sing and accompany yourself - now that would be great to hear…
you sound great, the ending improv, thanks for the inspiration, cheers
great instructions

Yeah🎹🩷
Thanx so much, those block chords transports me the Harlem renaissance… 1nce again thanks for the generous resource of your time and knowledge…in your booklets .
I've never played jazz so I got lost after a few minutes, can you suggest a place to start from basics? Thanks!
Here is a easy follow along of where to start: ruclips.net/video/m3Mk-_SNF5A/видео.htmlsi=kCOWTwWiVrEQUBpS🫶🎹
Amazing video!!!
whats the barry harris major movement
Could you walk me through which notes did you play in stacked fourth voicing (the 'mulgrew miller' part), thank you so much for your content!
Thanks Thembi, great work 👍
Sure thing
Amazing. Thank you!
awesome video ❤
brothis is gorgeous music
thank you for this i am just learning jazz paino
You’re welcome
Thanks Thembi! Really helpful 🤗
I'm 20 seconds in. Your speaking voice and accent tickle my brain! I hope the information is good and I learn something, but I have a feeling I'm gonna watch the whole thing for that first reason alone 🥰
Yea, so I play bass lol (not at a high level, jazz wise) alot of these exercises wont apply to me as much, but I watched it anyways 🥰
🫶‼️
Great teacher 😅
Very nice - thank you - gotta love sharp 11, diminished maj7 chords, and super locrian! You may be optimistic about having 3 hrs to practice ... I love how you sing with yourself - that's an important basic so many don't get told.
Super locrian‼️…that term takes me back to music school! Thanks I appreciate your comment👌
Nice stuff
Awesome stuff! Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome💯
Sorry to put this question here but why you play the Bb and sound the A natural? Something is really wrong to match the video with sound that cames from the piano, And in the first Scale the fingers don't do the same scale.
This is good for me as a vocalist. I think it would help my ear, knowing the notes.🎵🎵🎶🎵🎶🎼🎹
I love you dearly you do it very smart
that bit at the end sounded nice, a bit like Bud Powell.
🫶💯
Beautiful video. Thank you
Waiting for you to do a beginner course as I think you make a lot of sense. I'm not sure if PDFs are useful for befinner stage as can be very random.
Course coming soon🫶
The video definitely wasn’t for the beginner

Is there a rule to the fingerings or it doesn't matter which fingers one uses??
hey mzala 🙂 you play beautifully.
Thank you thank you thank you. Best for beginners
Love your teaching. Please can you display your finger movement on the piano instead of colour code movement alone. So we can see your fingers technique
I’ll try
Yes very important
You can also pay for extra content if you have specialised needs. This is free content💯
I do offer personalised videos👍

I'm a beginner and I really love jazz music. But where do I start from?
Here’s a good place to start: ruclips.net/video/m3Mk-_SNF5A/видео.htmlsi=OZppixt31ZjRNWox
Thanks for sharing. I enjoy it.
Lovely 🤎💜🤎
Please, what mic do you use?
That sounds soooooo good !!!
nice!
How would you adapt this for someone who doesn’t have 3 hours every day to spend practicing?
Practice everything within 1 hr: 20 mins of technique material; 20/20 for the other two categories.
Alternatively: 1 hr of technique Monday, 1hr of cognitive playing on Tuesday, and 1hr of playing on Wednesday. Then repeat
You got hands to reach big chords... good job, young lady
Thank you
Can u breakdown how you're doing those diatonic major arpeggios? I tried to slow down the playback speed, but it didn't help.
I’m playing each chord within the major scale as an arpeggio up to the 7th, in an up and down motion. Does that make sense,
@thembelihledunjana Yes, that makes sense. We're you using the f scale on those diatonic arpeggios? Or was it Bb?
@DJlamoun F major
Let's talk about the growth curve... Amaaazing.. am a day 1 ❤❤
Haha thanks. Pushing hard😅❤️‼️
Thank you so much
Thank you for your great Job ❤. I will try to translate to spanish 😅 !!!
Thanks Thembi

I stopped my daily practice due to finger pain. It’s been 3 months and I am still mot 100%. Any advice?
I’m not an expert in pain/ injuries but I would probably let that hand rest and practice with the hand that has no pain
I hope the finger heals soon🫶
I know you didn't ask me for my opinion 😊 but as I said in my comment, I've been playing for years... your hands and fingers are just like the rest of the body, requiring stretching and exercise (i.e., movement. I wish you well 😊
Please il want à PDF ils possible
Please look at the description
Thank you
Sure
Awesome
crazy what we get for free in the internet

I cant find pdf ? Is it obvious.....woops, just cant see it ?
Here it is: buymeacoffee.com/ThembiDMusic/e/266468
Eso es todo barry harris….
thats great ! thank you !! as a long term intermediate student self taught im always looking more interesting ways to pracrice
I'm a drummer... why am I here
Piano is also a percussive instrument. 😊
😂
someone needs to make a quartertone piano that spans the entire room
Also. Mixing it up. Playing the same thing over and over can get boring so for me I practice something different every day.
Ok I think I like you 🎉🎉
👌👌👌👌
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
What beautiful chords she is playing that keyboard is not doing her beautiful playing justice. It would be sick on an upright piano.
