Hello and welcome! My name is Jeff Pietrzak. I'm a piano player and teacher.
The skills and understanding your favorite artists most rely upon are what most music education fails to provide. They grasp that music is, first and foremost, a language. They know that the better they understand this language, the more they can do in music.
The instruction in this site will help you acquire the essentials of this language - with your ear, with your mind, and with your hands - so that you can achieve everything you want to do in music.
The Build the Song Series will give you insight into great songs and the skills to create your own original music. To receive a free tutorial and recording from the Build the Song Series, please click here.
The 10 Essential Lessons will give you the vocabulary to play songs in any key with ease and collaborate with other musicians and vocalists.
