About the Author
I am a
high school teacher in the public school system, and I have been frustrated lately by
the lack of jazz training that I see in current high-school age piano
players. In my desire to do something about it, I created
this book which has been a labor of love for me the past several
years. My heart and soul have been poured into this
project.
I intentionally
created the book for multiple levels of
music ability and piano proficiency so that any
non-musical student could easily teach him or herself, while the
advanced piano students would also be very challenged by the concepts
in my book.
I hope that you try it and find it to be as much of
a success as I have had using parts of it with my students. I trust
that you will see my unique personality in the way I write, and as I
always say, "Remember, the more time you spend with something, the quicker and
easier it gets...there are no short-cuts, but you can make the long cut
fun!!!"
Warmly,
Daniel Fritz
