In the course of our
lives we make good decisions and bad ones. I
have to tell
you that taking the plunge
and contacting Shan was certainly one of the better ones that I
made. My only regret is that I did not do
this sooner.

A
lesson with Shan
is something I always look forward to because I will go away with
something new every time... he always adapts his teaching to explore
the different questions or problems you experience. The most amazing
aspect of his teaching is that I've come to enjoy practicing!
- Jacques
As
well as a fair bit of technique, it's
been really interesting to
learn 'where it all comes
from' and how much can be built up from just a few simple ideas.
- Alex
If
you are considering tuition but not sure I'd definitely say try it.
After a 15 year break from the piano and just a few lessons I'm
finding the whole experience a really creative breath of fresh air.
It pays to be as open minded and positive as possible. I'd say have
a few lessons to get into it and see how it goes. I've learnt a lot
in just a few weeks.

The 1st person anywhere, to teach jazz
piano students all over the world on webcam!
Effective techniques and
methods that you won't find in the usual jazz books or on the usual
courses
Learn the skills involved
in: playing from chords, composition, improvisation, voicings,
arranging, accompanying, reading, transcribing and
much more |
Shan is
an inspiring jazz teacher - he explains the more technical aspects
of jazz harmony in a clear, patient and lucid way, and always
manages to leave me so motivated at the end of a lesson that I
always want to come home and try out what I
have learnt!
- Paul
What I like
about Shan is the mix of qualities which make him a good teacher -
patient but doesn't indulge nonsense, great sense of humor and of
course technically very credible. He exploits modern technology to
the full which is also a very helpful. Without Shan, my progress
would have
been non-existent.

The
way Shan teaches the piano, really allows
you to understand music and
its construction. I think if I had to
have learn piano the
classical route, I would not be playing now. The method Shan
teaches really empowers you
and helps you understand
what you're playing and
therefore how to improvise!
- Rachel
This
was the first time I'd had any formal piano lessons and wasn't sure
what to expect, but Shan made the lessons very easy to understand.
Everything
is tailored to the students needs. My playing and composition skills
have come a long way through having lessons with Shan, and I have
gained an appreciation and understanding of Jazz music, which is
something I knew very little about before.
