So if you've ever tried to just sit at a piano and play with some SOUL and just defaulted to the boring chords you always play...you have a fixable problem... even though it looks and feels like you're stuck.
So allow me to run you through a few small questions and scenarios:

In fact, if you could practice each of these 3 little areas for just one minute each, you'd 10x the speed of your results. I've tested it with students.
And the crazy thing is, classical training doesn't touch on any of these areas.

"My experience with most music teachers is they would rather be doing something else. Nik's work is an absolute breath of fresh air. I have been at this just long enough to understand where he is going, and his approach is thoughtful, beautifully presented, and a welcome treat to a player stuck in the mud! Thank you Nik!"
How I Created My Lessons
Early into my teaching career, I discovered that traditional piano curriculum does not teach adults how to flow, improvise, and play freely.
So, at 15 years old, I set on a mission to develop my own curriculum for my 48 adult weekly students. First, I reverse engineered how I played. What made people like my playing? How did I give my music feeling?
After many years of paying attention to what I was actually doing when I played, I was fortunate enough to crack the code. So, I developed unique exercises and tested out methods to help adults work up to eventually sounding like me. And the crazy thing is, it worked!
So, I recorded this video course to share with the world. 5,000+ adults have used my Fundamentals of Jazz, Blues & Gospel course successfully to playing with a soulful sound. I hope you'll join us!
