What Play Better Jazz Is All About
Welcome my friend. I’m Justin Highland and I’m the founder of Play Better Jazz. Do you ask yourself these questions below?
• “What tools, books or resources do I need to get into Jazz piano? Where do I even start?”
• “How can I practice efficiently with so many things to practice and limited time?"
• “How can I get the ideas, melodies and chords I hear in my head into my own playing?"
• “HOW do I actually practice what I've learned? WHAT should I even be practicing?”
Here's How Play Better Jazz Can Help You Be a Better Jazz Pianist... Right Now!
We live in an unprecedented age of available Jazz education. With the internet and online resources becoming increasingly widespread and available, you now seemingly have everything you would ever need to learn and play Jazz piano.
But are you really getting the RESULTS you want?
You likely already have all the books and YouTube videos you could need to learn voicings, scales, theory, tunes, etc. The problem is there's just SO MANY and so many things to learn. You just need the training and best ways to apply and practice. The actual HOW and WHAT to practice.
But who wants to sift through the thousands of YouTube videos, books, online articles and blog posts to learn the best methods of becoming an improviser or how to actually practice? Why isn't there a more structured approach??

I want to eliminate any and all excuses or mindsets prohibiting great talent from making great progress. And so often materials, location, time or available resources are just another excuse.

You likely already have everything you need to become a good Jazz pianist. You just need a new way of thinking about, structuring and approaching it all.
Play Better Jazz will change the way you think about learning, practicing, and the very often overlooked aspect of developing good mindsets to become an accomplished improviser.

About Justin Highland
Play Better Jazz was founded by me, Justin Highland, a freelance pianist, composer and educator living in Los Angeles, California. I've been playing piano for 30 years, Jazz and teaching full-time for 15 of those years. I enjoy, play and teach all styles of piano.
As a lifelong musician, my passion for music and piano started as a young child through my teens. Then at the University level where I originally enrolled as a Classical Performance Major and switched to Jazz one semester in, to recording studios and session work, many different bands, originally composed albums that received world-wide radio airplay, and teaching a student base of over 50 students per week in person and online. All the while freelancing and recording for artists and bands around the globe.
If you’re looking for the truth about what it takes to get real results and the best methods for learning and practicing Jazz piano, then you’re going to love my way of thinking and teaching, especially if you have a Classical background like I did.
My goal is to save you the years of pain and immense frustration, confusion and wasted time I experienced, and teach you concepts and techniques you won't find ANYWHERE else.
