Hi dear fellow Musicians :) This playlist is a collection of NewJazz lessons that all show different approaches on how to play and improvise over the very same chord progression as used in the lesson above (a standard sequence of fifths in Emi): czcams.com/play/PLd8gNAxPUcJzqwqL21s9NExEKpk14bglb.html
Enjoy :) Many regards from Oliver Prehn
Every day for hours on end I watch your videos. My piano playing has improved so much in the last two weeks. You are a wonderful person.
Muy agradecido y honrado , gracias!
This man is the best teacher on the internet!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every video is worth.........!!!!
The perfect title for this video: "How to change your music life in 29min and 20sec !!!"
Man! I could not agree with you more! A master class!
I just say thank you and in deed thank so much for what you have just brougth to me. this is the thirth lesson I get from you.. the way you do it , with pleasure and patience , is wonderfull. Again thank you very much
Oliver, you are not only a good teacher, but also listening to you playing, is like an immense pleasure...
best (period) Jazz (period) Teacher (period) on the Planet!... (period) Oliver is crazy talented and lessons are laid out perfectly superb. Nice relaxing voice also. big fan here.
You are so humble and Kool. I am a Jazz Vocalist and have always relied on pianist to back me up. I’ve always wanted to be self contained. There are many lessons and good teachers on CZcams; most move to fast. Brother you are what I’ve been looking for. I believe following you I can make up lost time.
It’s amazing that the video is only 30 min but it takes me hours practicing it!
Yes, a lot of practice are needed (I still practice this) - the video is quite comprehensive ;)
"Phrase ... Enjoy ... Phrase... Enjoy"
You're the best
HAHA - exactly!!! It's when NOT playing that we perceive the Music ;) Warm regards from Oliver
My little secret. Reversal of what I did 20 years ago. Every instruction that you qualify as simple,boring or unmusical, I take those to music shed ,for indepth study, before tackling the main core of the instructions at hand. I find this a very rewarding way of studying music. Please consider this pedagogical approach. Thanks again . Hilary from Aruba.
I’ve finally found a jazz-oriented arpeggio video that’s understandable and useful. Thanks, Oliver! Your videos are spot-on 👍
BEST MUSIC EDUCATION VIDEO OF 2021. YOU SHOULD BE KNIGHTED BY THE KING FOR THIS NOBLE ART WORK.
TAKING NOVICES BY THE HAND MUSICALLY ON A DOWN TO EARTH IMPROVISATION TRIP. CONGRATULATIONS SIR OLIVER.
THREE WEEKS OF PURGING OUT WRONG INTERPRETATIONS AND VIOLA. AT FIRST I FELT EMPTY. BUT SLOWLY EVERYTHING BEGAN TO FALL IN PLACE. YES ARPEGGIO - NOTES WORK VERY WELL. 88 KEYS ON THE PIANO AND ALL JUST A BUNCH OF INVERSION WHICH TIE IN SWIFTLY WITH THE CHORD PROGRSSION.
This is the magician revealing his magic...so we ALL can do it!! Thanks so much!!!
The best 30 minute lesson I ever had! You were born to teach!! Thank you so much!!!
Dear Mister Prehn let me say to you a very big Tahnk you. Across the web I had never encountered such a lesson with a pedagogic approach
that emphasizes the quest for knowledge and pleasure. I am fully bowled by the work you have done. Best regards and thank you. You have given me the will to work hard because at last things become so simple. Smart people make difficult things simple :)
Thanks for this lesson! I'm a newbie to jazz improvisation and your patience in this lesson was just what I needed. Kudos!
This has got be the best ever quick teacher for non jazz players who want to play some jazz/improvise. Simple easy piano exercises and explanations that will change how you play. Do his 30 min class. It will change your life. You're an awesome teacher.Love your work!!!!
Thank you so much!!! Warm regards from Oliver
Hi Oliver! With you all things stay more clean. Thank you so much.
You have the talent for teaching that very few teachers have, Godly given.
Vous etes un professeur exceptionnel avec une méthode originale. Merci pour tout ce que j'ai appris avec vous
This really blew my mind how you approach teaching what sounds so advanced but is actually fundamental. I love this video and really appreciate you’re generosity for teaching what you know!
Today I declare myself your number 1 fan, thank you Master Oliver. You have opened the doors to improvisation and I thank you, you are from another planet
Your teaching techniques are incredible, Oliver. Thank you so much!
Providing knowledge is important, but you go beyond that in your lessons by showing us how to build skills. You teaching skills are as well-honed as your keyboard skills. Thanks again!
Amazing lesson, Oliver... Once again!! This is probably the most effective and **musical** approach to learning a new standard I know of. Seems obvious once you know it!
You are the Bob Ross of teaching the piano!
Thank you so much!
You make learning a real joy!
I‘m glad to have stumbled over your channel!
There's a happy little C note. There we go. A little Pressin Blue, a little Midnight Black key. Its your world. I can picture Bob Ross reprising Paul Benedict as the Mad Painter sketch from Sesame Street to this music. Except in this case the numbers would have major or minor in front of them.
We don't make mistake, just happy accident.
Phi Lê haha,good one.
ruminator3570 funny.
You are the best to explain this kind of things. Thaks!
I watched your left hand grip videos. Worked that entire pdf packet. I feel so much more confident now. Can’t to wait to work on these exercises and fool around.
Thank you so much Oliver !!! This is a great lesson and my road to mastering jazz! What happiness it was when I finally managed to master the Difficult Job !!! There is no limit to my delight! Earlier I could only dream about it, having a classical music education. And you opened this way of jazz improvisation for me and you are the best teacher in the world! Jazz is like higher mathematics in music, like Chinese for a beginner. Your lessons are so clear and calm and very beautifully and efficiently done, and this is a huge work and a huge gift. Thank you for your kindness, you have a huge heart filled with love. I don't know what else to say, I cried when I found out that you are a bus driver. You are a real professor of the conservatory and a musician from God! Thank you very much from Svetlana from Belarus.
This is the best video where I finally understand how my exercises can expand into music. While memorizing the chords. Thank you so much!!!
So quiet, so specific, so cool so good. Such a teacher we all need
This is the slower speed I need. I also love how there are dots on the keys rather than the whole key lighting up as in other more confusing tutorials.
HARD WORK indeed, OMG I need to practice this. Quite tough but the reward is so great. Thank you sir.
This is what I search for years!! Thank you, great teacher!!
Cant wait for next lesson! Im already practicing my arpeggios. I really liked the idea of anticipating the next chord in the arpeggios to create tension. That is something I will surely use all the time going forward! Thank You
The Best Teacher ever !!!
It’s us who should say “thank you” a ton of it. God bless you.
most coherent lesson I've ever come across, many thanks.
Now I see the value in practising arpeggios on inversions, nobody ever explained it the way you do in this video. I like it more when you explain the accompanying bass like...incredible! Thanks.
Excellence! You are really one of a kind. I am a guitarist and I never would have thought that a piano teacher could help me in some many ways. Thank you so much for all your lessons.
Mr Oliver, sir, you're a most wonderful player of the piano; but even better, a grand teacher of it.
The great thing about this is the hard work and than play. Most teachers seem to only teach the play part and when I sit down to 'play' I struggle. I'm always searching for exercises and this end to end is amazing thank you
Genial ! Merci Oliver ...yes we are still here 😀! You give me energy and new ideas ...and above all, more self confidence !
I haven't had a piano at home for 16 years. I'm getting a new digital piano tomorrow and as luck would have it, I stumbled upon this video while looking for beginner jazz lessons. As soon as I unbox my new piano tomorrow I'm going to watch this video again and try to play along. You're such an excellent instructor, so I already half-know what to do!
The world of music is lucky to have a person like you Oliver. I studied a lot arpeggios stuff before, but your way to introduce it to us is so warm, calm and gentle that it seems to me a new material, thrilling and interesting. I think it is a fundamental skill to play any jazz standard. Thank you master.
yes, i 100% agree with that, ive been spending so much time just watching your videos and learning how to play jazz
Thank you for investing time in explaining this in a simple and slow way, so that we can all understand. You are one of the few who do it! I really appreciate you, you are great!
Simple. Effective. Fundamental. As always!!! Thank you Oliver.
Simple and effective. Watching and practicing this video was like meditation for me.
@ I feel that too brother. This is so calm and peaceful
You are the first person that actually made me interested in music theory! im not even a piano player. Iv been playing guitar for 21 years XD. TY! gonna be so much fun transcribing this stuff to guitar.
Hi Oliver,
I only want to say thanks for being like that, so calm and so polite explaining how to approach to all of these exercises. Moreover you are incredibly patient, just the main value that a good teacher must have.
Congratulations and I will keep learning and approaching to Jazz music with you.
This is my FIRST time ever commenting on a youtube video because i really wanna say thank you for your lessons. You’re a God sent. Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻
I don't know who can dislike such a lesson, they must be jazz geniuses lol !!! on the other hand, thank you so very much for the great lesson and all the other rich videos !!! a new subscriber here and a potential donator.
Thank you so much - but you don't have to donate anything, a nice comment like yours is the best support I can get :) :) :) Warm regards from Oliver
@@NewJazz , my wish for you is that within one year you'll be a full time jazz piano teacher and have students from all over the world.
Thanks a lot!!! We are getting there...
Clever gemacht. Gut nachvollziehbar und ausreichend musikalisch, um die Übung erträglich zu machen. Danke!
First time in my life i donate on CZcams is ... for YOU !! THE best teacher ever !!!
Simple, clear and efficient, i feel like you give me the "keys" .... THANK YOU PROFESSOR !!
I got a donation from "Vincent" - thank you so much!!! Warm regards from Oliver
This is the best methodical approach to Jazz improvisation that I've ever learn. Easy to understand and directly impacted to my piano playing. Thank you very much Sir. God bless you.
One of your best lessons Oliver. Thanks for your educational research... After having explained for a long time about musical chords, maybe now it's time to explain the improvisational musical lines: How to build and how they move according to standards and models. The construction of the improvisational line is historically the least explained part of jazz lessons... but now we finally have you, Mr Prehn
You are a god send. I've learned so incredibly much from the simple yet concisely worded instruction. It's now possible to hear what I've been listening for, for so many years; it literally jumped out in my face. Music now has a whole new excitement.
Maestro, por favor nunca deje de ayudarnos con tus conocimientos, usted posee una manera muy especial y diferente de explicar lo que otros no. Tu calma y paciencia al explicar nos transmite mucha paz.
Thanks, this is a great approach in learning to improvise using arpeggios. Fundamentals are very important so as to avoid fumbling on the keyboard when learning to improvise. Great staff!
Dear Oliver, I recently retired and have gotten back to piano. You make it clear, doable, and enjoyable. I had to idea I could learn to improvise with such ease. I am deeply grateful. Thank you so much!
Fabuloso! La lección más magistral que he tenido. Gracias por tu sencillez y delicadeza . Muchas gracias Oliver.
This is such a helpful way to gradually get into it, thank you! More like this one!
I've been teaching myself for 7 months now; watching your videos on my -much simpler- keyboard has been truly inspirational, even though i don't always get the sound i want lol. Thank you for helping your videos make a difference :D
Excellent!!!
Excellent!!!
Excellent!!!
Congratulations. Great teacher are great learners.They are very sensitive to students' needs.Expressed or not.
My left hand and right hand independence has finally arrived. Thank you so much Teacher Oliver.
Hilary from Aruba
Dear Oliver, as I told you when I signed up with Patreon, I was an intermediate jazz pianist who got stopped in my tracks because of musician's dystonia in one of my fingers. But I switched to the vibes and discovered you were lessons at the same time, and I feel I was given the blessing from the heavens! Your lessons apply beautifully to their instrument. I will keep you posted as I progress through your non-sequential lessons mostly sequentially (just so I don't miss any). I would encourage other budding jazz musicians who play instruments other than the piano to go through these lessons as well. Your emphasis on improvisation applies beautifully to the solo instruments as well as the piano. Thank you again so much again!
I am very glad a lot of people learn this to improvise
Excellent didactic...gradual...very calm...kind...understandable...and leading to love jazz
I'm practicing since 2 weeks on this exercice. Fantastique ! thank you so much for your teaching ❤🙏 The more I'm practicing, the more l get confidence for my future improvisation.
Génial comme toujours avec toi, Oliver.
Merci de partager ta passion.
Thank you for sharing your technique, I have been wanting to learn piano jazz for so long and I am so happy to find your excellent method
WoW...WoW...WoW...
Since 2 years, first exercice for beginners++. Tks tks tks
I like this and the way you demonstrate carefully and slowly.
God Bless you!!!Amazing didatic and hipnotic talk!!Learn a lot from your lessons!!Thank you!!
Creative with ease. Thank you.
Merci Oliver, en suivant ta chaîne tellement logique et simple, les avancées sont efficaces et immédiates. En quelques semaines de travail régulier l’on gagne des années de recherches aléatoires! Sans renier ses aptitudes ni sa créativité. C’est un énorme plus.
Thank you again !! One of the best simple lessons I've come across !!
One of the best CZcams lesson ever! Thank you
This was a ridiculously good lesson! So god damn useful! Immediately useful! Like instantly useful! Stuff like this is so hard to find on the interwebs.. it's not that there is a lack of tutorials. There are just too much out there to get lost and jump from one to other! Thank you so much! I just took up piano again and feel lost on where and what to start practice, but this is a lesson that I will stick to and enjoy practicing over and over for at least a month waiting for my fingers and brain to kick back!
Great and thanks a lot :) :) :) When you are done with this lesson you can also try out this 'follow up' video adding some thrilling additional tricks to the arpeggios: czcams.com/video/t_GAPRY44MY/video.html
Best regards from Oliver
DE CÓRDOBA ARGENTINA, GRACIAS OLIVER, POR TU CLARIDAD Y SIMPLEZA EN TUS LECCIONES, SON MUY ÚTILES. GRACIAS SOS UN GRAN MAESTRO.
Thank you. Great lesson. Starts simple and slow and allows learner to progress.
I have 47 YO. I gave an used digital piano to my daughter sep/19... but she didn't got fond of it... I never knew anything about music... then I found, among other good ones, this channel... Your lessons are never boring... it is a so enriching experience every single time. The video has more then a year published, but is all new to me and it's being a bliss. Thank you a lot.
I just can’t thank you enough!! I had some difficulties learning the art of playing (improvising) jazz but you explained so well on the “science” of jazz on all of your videos. Thanks again ☺️ take care. Cheers from Malaysia
Love ur videos Oliver!!! Thank you!
You are a Big teacher!! Help me too much. Thanks!!
Muchas gracias de nuevo... 👍🏼👍🏼Dios te bendice ...🙏🏼Muy bien explicado... 👏👏👏👏Un saludo desde Colombia .
Great. Simple. Inspiring.
Thank you!
Wonderful, just like all your videos. My teacher told me that, when it comes to jazz, the thing he most wishes he had spent more time practicing years ago is running his arpeggios in different inversions, up and down in thirds. This video is a fantastic illustration of why doing just that can be so useful, and how to apply the fruits of those drills.
amazing. love how this builds over the lesson
Merci encore une fois, c'est une leçon merveilleuse de simplicité et de technique..
this is what i've been waiting for!!
this is sick! one can go from from ground zero to somewhat improvising piano student just within one lesson. just practice this over and over again... omg. but as always and the most important: thanks for the inspiration and keeping the spirit up. you are sharing these positive vibrations with us.
Thank you so much for your wonderful teaching...you really have an incredible way of effectively explaining things I have been trying to grasp for years! I am really making progress thanks to you...!
Wonderful! That tip about starting the arpeggios not necessarily at the start of the bar for each chord was very useful! It creates a bit of tension and it sounds less robotic! I love your teaching style so much! Keep the good work! Thank you! 👏👍🙏
I Loved this lesson! Thank you.
Great use of dynamics on certain notes,what a fantastic lesson,my playing is starting to sound jazzy now,thanks a lot
Awesome lesson...much gratitude...I absolutely love your teaching method, very constructive for guitarists.
La mejor manera en la que alguien te puede enseñar el jazz .... Visto de esta forma se ve muy sencillo y cualquier persona puede aprender de manera muy fácil y práctico ... Gracias por el aporte mi hermano un abrazo
Just found you today and subbed. Great stuff! You are a wonderful teacher. I learned so much in such a short time. Just a couple of lessons and now I have a lot of practicing to do. 👍
a year ago, I bought a saxophone, and I tried my best to learn all those wonderful rhtythms and concepts. I have been always into improving, but I couldn't make it so far with very good fundations such as the cicle of the 5th and so on. Now It has been only 1 week since I bought a keyboard, I started learning and understanding so many concepts, and I am ready to apply them on saxophone too. your video is amazing and simple, but very very great for someone who wanrts to understand music, not only sray on cover music level.
my god. that tension and release blew my mind.
I,M A GUITARIST WITH A BASIC PIANO IdeA but wAching you I fell in love with the piano too I,m learning difficult but so good .
