    I took a masterclass from Joe Pass back in the 80’s, and he mentioned that when he was a kid, he wrote down the licks and voicings and other practice ideas in small slips of paper, folded them and put them in a bag, and picked one up at random to practice every day. I thought that was a wonderful idea.

      I love it! Things do get overwhelming if you try to do everything every day.

    Super informative! It's easy to lose track of all the different things you can potentially practice. This makes it easy to not lose track of the key components of a good practice routine. Thanks!

    I listened to this video/lesson with great interest, a few times.
    I think that it helped me immensely with solving the dilemma that I have been struggling with for the last few months - I love and want to learn jazz but teaching this music form and the type of learning it requires (it is a form of apprenticeship) is completely incompatible with how I always learned and studied. I prefer very structured learning that does not rely on a teacher. What is even more difficult for me is the explicit admission that there are different forms of jazz and teaching depends very much on a teacher (no consistency).
    I will keep listening to Jeremy’s videos but I will not even try to implement what he is teaching and explaining, anymore. The problem is with me - not with jazz teaching!
    Back to classical music and learning from transcriptions of some jazz pieces (especially Keith Jarrett’s).
    Thank you Jeremy.

    What is your advice on practice time per section? I think I'm gonna use this practice routine to go learn some harder Stevie Wonder tunes. I would love a tutorial about any of his songs.
    For the etudes, I like Bach's 2/3 part inventions to practice super clean articulation in both hands. I have transposed some of the two part ones very slowly.

    Hi Jeremy, I am a piano student with a lot to do each day. I have 2 hours in a row a day to sit at the piano, do you think it would be useful to use this method dedicating the first three steps in 45min blocks and the 4th step to do it while I go to work? (I have 30 minutes round trip) Thank you very much for all your videos, I find them really valuable and I really try to squeeze them to get the most i can.

    Great video I have 2 questions for you. When you started playing piano, how often did you practice? And how long do you practice now?

    • @JeremySiskind
      @JeremySiskind  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey Kevnick! I started when I was about 4 years old. These days, I don't get to practice too much. It depends on when I have a performance coming up. When I was in college, I probably spent 6-8 hours each day on the piano, whether practicing or in rehearsals.

    haven’t made it all the through the video so sorry if this was already answered. how much time as a percentage of practice time should be spent on each of the four sections respectively?

      I wouldn't want to give any kind of "formula." Different musicians are going to need different processes. It's up to you!

    Jeremy, do you give lessons to students of any instrument (like, general improv stuff), or do you require that your students be pianists?

    I would love to hear your thoughts on how much time we should devote to each of these parts and to an overall practice session.

    • @JeremySiskind
      @JeremySiskind  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As much as possible! I mean, obviously, more time is better. I think in different points in one’s journey, time allotment varies by interest and need. I’d say musicians hoping to be too professionals should spend 7-10 hours each day on their instrument (including rehearsals and performances). Folks who want to be really great amateurs should go through a period when they spend 2-4 hours per day on their instruments. For hobbyists, they need to fit their practice into their schedule.

    • @mfurman
      @mfurman ปีที่แล้ว

      @@JeremySiskindThe question remain if hobbyists who practice only 1-1.5 a day can really be ever proficient playing jazz. Are they just wasting theirs time (especially if their time horizon of learning may be only two years or so)?
