Summary of This Method
With Jazz Hanon in Play-Along Edition, Peter Deneff (instructor at the Musicians Institute) offers a true "private lesson" structured around 50 studies designed to strengthen independence, precision, and fluidity on the jazz piano. The goal is twofold: to consolidate mechanics (attack, consistency, coordination) while embedding essential musical reflexes for improvisation and ensemble playing.
The method explores typical materials of modern and traditional jazz: angular lines to work on melodic directions, wide intervals to expand the hand and ear, pentatonic patterns to enrich phrasing, as well as blues scales and irregular chromatic melodies to gain color and control. It also includes double-note patterns (ideal for articulation and the right hand), with suggested fingerings and practice tracks to organize sessions: starting tempo, gradual increase, metronome consistency, and playing along with accompaniment.
Thanks to the play-along CD, each exercise becomes a concrete training session: you develop a sense of groove, rhythmic stability, and clarity of playing, while naturally integrating jazz-specific phrases. A particularly relevant resource for building a solid technical routine, preparing auditions, or simply evolving your piano vocabulary methodically.
