I find that learning jazz, and art in general, is an exploration and self-directed, and I appreciate that in my lessons with Darrius there is structure around learning the foundational principles of jazz piano.

Now I have the tools which help me to better approach composing music and in understanding some of the playing that I love.

After studying with Darrius, I have recorded 3 releases of original music with more on the way! I have played in a few bands, and now have a growing command and confidence from knowing what I know now. I get to share who I am musically with the world, which is more than what I thought I wanted!

I loved that each lesson in Darrius’ course offered a small, critical piece to learning to play jazz piano and built directly on top of the previous one. Not only was I able to build my piano skills much quicker than I thought possible, but the entire world of music theory has opened up to me. Darrius has shown me the path to becoming the musician I’ve always dreamed of being!
