PRIVATE LESSONS: One-to-one lessons are mainly ONLINE via ZOOM - find details HERE.

EVENING CLASSES: I've been running weekly classes in jazz piano and blues piano in London since 1990. At Morley College in Waterloo I teach using my Schott publications, Exploring Jazz Piano Vols 1 & 2.

JAZZ PIANO 3 takes a year (Sep - June ) to cover the material in Vol 1 (details below) 
JAZZ PIANO 4 takes a year (Sep - June ) to cover the material in Vol 2 (details below)

Both classes are taught in a keyboard room, each student has their own digital piano. There are also two acoustic pianos in the same room, enabling duets with other students.

VIDEO CLIPS: You can also learn with the YouTube clips linked with my books - five for each book. Click on the drop-down menus in the top right-hand corner of the videos below, or view them directly on YouTube.

VIDEO COURSES: Complete video courses based on the 'Improvising Blues Piano' and 'Beginning Jazz Piano' books are available from MusicGurus.com

SHORT COURSES: I also teach short jazz piano courses at Benslow Music (Hitchin, Herts) and Premises Studios (Hackney, London).

TRANSCRIBING JAZZ SOLOS: This is a monthly class (6 meetings on Sundays afternoons) at The City Lit (London, Covent Garden).

These are year-long courses (three terms, 10-12 weeks each) starting in September. Separate enrolment is available for each term. A performance with rhythm section takes place towards the end of the 3rd term, in late June or early July .

Tutor approval is required to enrol on these courses. Attend the Enrolment/Advice session at Morley - usually in the first week of September - where you can talk to Tim and other tutors to find out the best course for you.
