Pianist, author, teacher, weekend birthday party clown clone Jeremy Siskind discusses why students need to change from "seekers" to "filters" and how to use community, deadlines, and lists to avoid "Shiny Object Syndrome" and frequent distractions.

Jeremy, you are so wonderful and helpful. I truly appreciate you.
That's so kind! Thanks for checking out the content, MarK! Now go practice! 😂
Great advice, Jeremy. But the thing that has really helped curtain my "shiny object" syndrome is signing up for your class at Fullerton College!
Yes, not becoming overwhelmed by the flood of "content" coming at us is important. You have framed the dilemma well and offered useful orientations. Thank you.
Jeremy, thank you very much for being open and kind and for your helpful advice! This video and lots of others on your channel! Misterioso!
My pleasure, Alisa! Thanks for checking out my channel!
Jeremy, your videos are great (and this one is really helpful - so much wisdom in it!) but you need to address the low volume issue. Going from any podcasts, news or any TH-cam videos to your channel is always a big volume adjustment. Even at the maximum volume I can barely hear you on my AirPods
it's a bit strange to me because the piano is audibly clipping - seems like maybe an issue with the mic setup?
anyways i'll be honest, i don't care. the channel is a wealth of info and Jeremy's playing is absolute top tier
Thanks for the info, Michael! I'll look into it before I do some more recording.
Misterioso! Thank you for the smart advice, and we really dug Monk’s dream.
Awesome! Good luck with your practicing this year and beyond!
Great guidance--as always! Esp resonant for me:
#1: @4:00 Ranked List of goals (#1 next for me is voicings: 1-hand: 2,3,4 notes & 2-hand 4,5,6 notes); for maj & min 2-5-1s.
#2: @7:00 Community & Deadlines (and on that note, can't say enough great things about Jeremy's virtual Fullerton College course--check it out--put me on a great (and Misterioso) jazz path). And thanks for the cool version of Monk's Dream!
Wish I had this video on two occasions: 10 years ago when I started playing, and 5 minutes ago just before I sent you an email question! Goes to show the info is timeless. Mysterioso!
Lol, no worries. That saying is that there's "no stupid questions" for a reason. 😉
This wasn't my question. I've known this and have commented a few times about it. But I have a specific question that I would love a tutorial on, and have never seen any. Whenever I listen to good jazz musicians I notice that their ACCENTED NOTES define their sound and make them sound much better than I, even when I play the same notes at the same speed. I do accents as I feel them, so to speak, but would appreciate instruction from someone like yourself, who is not only light years ahead of me but also has a keen analytical mind. Thank you.
It's a really intelligent and insightful question. I wonder if you've watched this video? I address it a bit here: th-cam.com/video/MPi-BO3esLk/w-d-xo.html
@@JeremySiskind Oh brilliant, exactly what I was looking for. You realise, of course, that these amazing tutes risk cannibalising your books.
Thank you for your wise and helpful guidance, Jeremy. And your playing is super inspiring too!
I'm honored. Thank you very much, Kathy!
Misterioso! Great video😃. I think this video is aimed for those well into intermediate level. I am starting the Jazz Piano Fundamentals 2 so I do not need to seek or filter for now. Well the only filtering I am doing is selling all my jazz method books that I do not use and keeping yours 😂
Thanks for your monk dream interpretation. Really inspiring
Thanks a lot, Jeremie! I'm grateful - and a big fan of Monk. I'm never sure what to do with the bridge when it just stays on 1 chord, but I'm trying not to overthink it...
Thank you for another amazing video, Jeremy! When you said jazz piano was hard, I was glad I’m not the only one who thinks jazz piano is sooo hard! Sounded great as usual! Misterioso!
misterioso! thanks so much for sharing your wisdom! after getting a new instrument i have been so excited to start practicing again using your books! this topic is extremely relevant and i have decided to forego serious focus on anything other than what's in your jazz piano fundamental books for the first year. so far it's been really interesting to see where my knowledge and technical gaps are, and i want to be able to drill those thoroughly - it's not useful for me to get distracted trying to practice whatever new licks are in my feed this week. can't express how thankful i am that you've put this method together!! 🙏
That's really really nice. Thank you so much for your comment!
By the way, if you didn't see my TH-cam "post," I just opened up reviews for my books on my website and I'm offering a free PDF of some of my sheet music to anyone who submits a review. You can do so on jeremysiskind.com/shop/
@@JeremySiskind great!! thanks for the info 😃
Mysterioso! Very important and timely video. I shared it with our jazz piano study group. And yes, the sound volume for your spoken words was very low this time. Thank you.
Thanks for the comments - I'm going to work on my volume before I record again!
Mysteriouso... (Think thats the right spelling?) Your videos are so good and inspiring... as a classically trained pianist it has always been puzzling to me how to practise jazz most effectively... this video has given me some great ideas... Keep up the good work Jeremy, you are brilliant!😀👍
Great "Jeremy/Ted Talk". Practical,thoughtful and inspiring. Fantastic performance of "Monk's Dream". MISTERIOSO. 🌹🌹🌾🌹🌹
Thank you much, Ms. Brenda! Maybe we can get those Ted people to invite me on...
Misterioso. Brilliant, Jeremy, from start to finish! Such an important topic. Ted Talk-worthy!
Thank you so much, Frances! Being a student these days is hard - I'm glad I can be a teacher and just bloviate for as long as I want. 😂
Misterioso. Brilliant rendition of Monk,s Dream, by the way.
Captain Mysterioso. Good thoughts, thanks for putting them out there (here?).
Here, there, everywhere? Thanks a lot, frdagaa!
Great version of Monks Dream ! Nice job ! Sounds Great ! Thanks ! Keep up the good work !
Misterioso! Cheers Jeremy!
Thanks for watching, Alexandros! I hope something I said resonated with you!
@@JeremySiskind Your advice, your playing and your attitude are always inspiring.
Thanks again!
Nice!
Thanks very much, Sylvia! Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Shiny Object Syndrome will not Save Our Souls (SOS…). Miss Terioso.
Well done, Jack! 😉
misterioso
You are my favourite musician and person🫶🏼 thank you for sharing your helpful thoughts with us! And for the great playing of Monk’s dream. Btw , 10k subscribers coming soon as I can see, so you probably are already working on “about me” video))) ! Misterioso ❤
Thanks so much, Anastasia! Yes, 10,000 subscribers will be a big number for me. Maybe I have to start acting more professionally...
MISTERIOSO!!!!!
Thanks for your time, Ivetta! I hope something I said resonated with you!
@@JeremySiskind absolutely, every word you say is precious...you are a great educator...thank you so much💖
Mysterioso
Thanks for watching!
Mysterioso!
Thanks for watching, Barry. I hope you liked it!
Jeremy, great suggestions and video. Some comments: 1. "Community" is perhaps the most important. All the online instruction won't work if a pianist cannot play in real timte with others on a regular basis -- ideally others that are better than you. Teachers on TH-cam give all the chords, scales, etc. Few mention the importance of playing with a small group. 2. Following your McCoy Tyner pentatonics video, this week I'm into pentatonic scales and patterns. But let's face it, pentatonics only work if they are played very fast. To do that one must start off slow so as to get things in all keys in your fingers. I'm finding that is rough. 3. Please do not take offense but you need to improve the audio of your spoken word in your videos. Too much reverb so that it's muddy and not clear. However, your piano sounds great. 4. While your rendition of Monk at the close of this video is done without a rhythm section, you are able to incorporate a momentum and feel as if you had a rhythm section. How does one practice for this? End of comments and thanks.
Jeremy, there is something wrong with the audio and video for a while now. The piano sound has a vibratory buzzing after each key is struck, and the video image of the entire keyboard "shakes" which creates a feeling of nausea in the viewer. These are new problems of the past few months and are not present in older videos. What's up?
Thanks for the comment! I'll watch some of the videos to see what's up. The video shouldn't be shaking...I'm not sure what's going on there. No earthquakes in California recently. 😂 Maybe it's something about the new location since I've moved. I'll look into it and see if I can make it better.
The "buzzing" is coming from the pre-amp level of the microphone being turned up too much, or the microphone is too close to the audio source (the piano), with the incoming audio signal peaking (producing too much signal for the mic to handle within it's pre-amp), which causes distortion of the signal when played at loud volumes. Personally I don't mind and I never see any shaking of the overhead view. Perhaps it's his fast playing and moving his hands fast that is making you dizzy. Plus, this is amazing FREE content, can't complain too much. I'm willing to bet Jeremy is already well aware and is doing the best he can with what he has.
It would actually be better if the people who don't watch your videos unsubscribe. The current youtube algorithm penalizes channels when the subscribers don't watch the videos.
I personally watch your videos to see how you practice/play, not to copy everything you do.
Interesting! But I get all my self-worth from my subscriber numbers... 😂
Next video : how to rank the list…..😂😅
Interesting question - I'd probably rank it on what feels most urgent, like, what is the festering thing that you always struggle to master? But also something that comes up a lot...not something super niche?

Thanks for watching, Luyanda! I hope something I said resonated with you!
