      The present is already there at your piano. Sure helps to play for 2 decades before sitting down though. So disheartening to try and play arrangements of Jacob's after nothing having touched my piano in easily 4 years now. So much work to catch back up on! One day tho! Keep inspiring me with these arrangements

      That gentleman is gifted…no written music in front of him. I would play a four-hour gig without looking at a written note but absolutely nowhere near the intricacies of this guy. I love the alternate jazz chords!

    After a 15year hiatus I’m back taking piano...I was registering to Joey Alexander’s version, when I came across yours, I was blown away. As i’m beginning to enjoy piano for the first time even after 15 years of lessons, I hope to incorporate at least half as good the way wonderful arrangements you included here. I’ll have to see what other stuff you have.

Every chord goes against what I'm used to. I've spent over an hour learning the notes of the first page of this piece lol came back to check how it's meant to be played. Thankyou so much!

    Hi, just want to let you know, I just bought your pdf because I'm so amazed with all of your arrangements and playing (sadly the pdf version doesn't have cover like book edition 😬), but anyway very glad that you're a teacher too, all the notes are neatly written. I notice you play wide range of chords (10 notes, where my hand only reaches 9 notes) which I find difficult for my hand to stretch like yours 😅 but afterall I like your book a lot! Thank you 😁

    • @JacobKollerMusic
      @JacobKollerMusic  Před 5 lety +1

      Yosefien Moudy thank you so much. The only reason I didn’t include the cover in the ebook is because it makes the file considerably larger which makes it harder to use in applications. I felt bad about leaving it out though. Anyway. Thanks so much for the comment and for playing my arrangements!

    Excellent! Yet another great piece. I haven’t found anyone else with such stunning arrangements that are so affordable. I’ve bought Jacob’s other music before, and I’d really suggest getting one to anyone considering it. For five dollars you can get hours and hours of entertainment, so do yourself a favor and help support him at the same time!
