“Richard’s musical content is as memorable and engaging as ever, and he superbly channels the playing styles of some of jazz’s greatest piano legends along the way… This is the real deal… a full-on jazz education from scratch!”
PianoDao
“A systematic, thorough, creative and musical jazz programme, generously supported by online materials. Fantastic foundational knowledge is provided in an extremely clear way, with practical hands-on exercises.”
Music Teacher
“Fully and brilliantly mapped out… Richards has produced a superb learning resource… yet again outdoing himself with these amazing books.”
PianoDao
“The books are nicely paced, not overloading you with too much too soon… All this for the price of an hour’s lesson represents excellent value.”

“Chapter 3 in Pt 2 ends with an extremely useful 12-point programme for interpreting a lead sheet. It’s simply superb!”
Music Teacher
“I really enjoyed both books. The latter half of book 2 mainly leaves theory aside and give many good drills to practise… It’s actually the easiest part of the two books, bringing everything together using songs from various genres.”
