TMEA & TJEA - Texas - Jazz Piano Etude #3 - 2021

All-State (Texas) Jazz Etude #3 - Piano - 2021

Jazz Pianists:

Preparing for Region & State Level Etudes requires
a balance of preparation:

-Knowledge of Jazz harmony & restructuring voicings
-Mixture of rooted & rootless voicings in Left Hand
-Smooth voiceleading to compliment melody
-Mixture of interesting comping rhythms
-Clear articulation & unique shaping of phrases
-Emphasizing certain parts of phrases as a collective (both hands)
…and much, much more

I've arranged these etudes (filling in sample chord voicings, accompaniment, solo sections, etc) for you to study, dissect, and create your own tasteful version for your audition.

If you need guidance & instruction, I have vast experience in teaching Jazz to beginner & advanced students. Feel free to reach out.

In the last 6 years, I've had 3 1st place All-State Selections.
