ABOUT THE COURSEMethodology For Success
Darrius Willrich began teaching his students one-on-one and eventually developed a system for his students to accelerate their progress which he turned into his Jazz Piano Pro Essentials guidebook; the inspiration for his online Jazz Piano video course.
Darrius created his guidebook and course after years of working in the music education world and realizing the existing training material made learning Jazz Piano time-consuming and complicated. Jazz Piano Pro Essentials is a much simplier method that accelerates the learning process.
