Presented & Created By Dr. Joe Gilman & Brenden Lowe
When You Finish This Course You'll Have A Proven System To Create A
Bill Evans Sound,
over any tune you want using and easy & clear, 4 or 5 note two-hand arranging style,
...That allows you to stop feeling insecure, doubtful, and embarrassed about how you play, arrange and approach all jazz standards. With this Bill Evans Arranging System you'll be able to achieve a beautiful, lush, well balanced "Bill Evans" sound anytime you want without fail!
Having jazz piano knowledge and actually PLAYING a jazz standard so it sounds like you know what you're doing are two entirely different things!
Trust me I know...
For years I WASTED countless hours learning licks on youtube, learning & copying arrangements of tunes from transcriptions, and hacking away with no real guidance or direction.
I knew tons of chords, licks, voicings but guess how many tunes I ACTUALLY knew?
3 Tunes.
Beautiful Love, If I Were A Bell and Yesterdays.
And I only could play them with a decent sound because I had COPIED what my teacher had showed me!
If I opened up to a jazz standard in a real book, I had NO IDEA, how to play them or arrange them amongst my hands so they would come out sounding like I knew what I was doing.
In fact...it was QUITE the opposite.
Every tune I played sounded like crap.
Sure I could play tunes, but something was MISSING!
And the worst part was I didn't know what it was.
All I wanted was someone to tell me...
"Here, this is a simple, clear cut system to arrange any tune between your hands. Follow this and you'll get an AMAZING sound every time."
Was I dreaming?
Did this actually exist?
I mean wouldn't that be nice?
A no non-sense, easy and clear system that gives us a balanced, beautiful and rich jazz piano sound, EVEN when we flip to a BRAND NEW standard.
The fact is...
It does exist! There is ACTUALLY a proven system you can follow to easily and quickly arrange tunes to achieve an incredible jazz piano sound every time.
Now you may be thinking,...
"Okay Brenden, now you're talking about unicorns and leprechauns."
And when I spoke with Dr. Joe Gilman, pianist with Bobby Hutcherson for many years, I thought the exact same thing.
And it became even more UNBELIEVABLE when he said based on his easy and clear system the sound you would achieve would closely resemble the atmosphere and style of the great...
wait for it...
BILL EVANS!
WHAT!!???
Now he was putting me on.
But I took a second and thought to myself.
Maybe there was a more systematic way to work through the arranging process of a tune...
And what if this could be broken down into a process?
I had to check out what this was about!
I thought about all the things students struggle with when attempting to play a jazz standard so they actually feel HAPPY and SATISFIED because it SOUNDS GOOD!
What were the hardest aspects of opening up to a new tune and being able to instantly create a beautiful sounding arrangement on the spot?
Specifically...
and so many, so many more...
These are the questions EVERY jazz piano student asks themselves at one point or another while learning how to play jazz tunes.
And unfortunately, in order to reach the level you want...
...you have to KNOW the answers to all those questions.
Do you?
Just like my past self...most likely you do not.
But I have good news.
Fortunately, that's exactly why Jazz Piano School and Dr. Joe Gilman have teamed up.
So that you DO KNOW the answers to all those questions and more importantly...

If you're interested in learning how to quickly & easily, arrange ANY jazz standard on the spot in order to achieve a BILL EVANS like sound and atmosphere....
...then this BRAND NEW COURSE is for you!
Onward!
Are You A "Doer"...or Just a "Talker?"

But let's face it...

Why Should You Get This Specialty Course?
If you are a beginner student of jazz piano or completely brand new...
...this specialty course will set you apart from the pack.
Unlike most jazz piano courses that consist of a ridiculous amount of scales, chords, and theory knowledge...
...this course cuts right to the core of the EXACT steps to take to play any tune and achieve a true jazz sound.
You will have the secret sauce that will literally allow you to take any spot in a tune, any chord, and melody, and KNOW precisely where in your hands to place EVERY essential note in the chord and melody to create a balanced and beautiful sound every time.
This will allow for you to finally feel INSPIRED, HAPPY, CONFIDENT, SATISFIED every time you sit down at the piano to play jazz.
Rather than feeling frustrated, doubtful, and unhappy you're not playing the way you want.
The great thing is that Dr. Joe Gilman has held absolutely nothing back in this course.
The systems and strategies, included in this course cannot, I repeat, CANNOT be found anywhere else!
That is because it's one if it's kind.
It is the secret ingredient behind quickly and instantly arranging any tune to achieve a beautiful, lush Bill Evans type of sound out of any tune you flip to in a Fake Book.
So if you want to...
...then this specialty course is for you.
If you already possess the knowledge and skill to play jazz standards...
...maybe you don't need this specialty course but...
...I'd HIGHLY recommend having this education in your tool box because everyone, yes EVERYONE can benefit from the information contained in this course by Dr. Joe Gilman.
Bill Evans was all about taking a systematic approach to playing jazz tunes, not just a general guess at where to place notes.
He wanted to know exactly how, where and when to place every note, on every measure of every chord.
His theory behind this was the more precise and confident about the placement of your notes you can be, the more control you will have over the exact self-expression you want to achieve.
Makes complete sense doesn't it?
But let me ask you this?
Do you know exactly how and why you are playing the notes you are over certain chords and melodies?
Do you know why you are playing a certain note in your LH and not your RH?
Do you know exactly how to integrate extensions into the chord without screwing up the balance of the harmonies?
Do you have clear intention about exactly how to arrange the structure of every chord and melody from the bass note up and everything in between?
Whether you're teetering on the edge of purchasing this course or not...
...the fact is, if you answered NO to any of these questions...
...then you ABSOLUTELY need this course in your toolbox.
Wouldn't you rather feel prepared, confident, and secure knowing you can sit down at the piano, flip to any tune, and start to effortlessly play the beautiful sounding jazz music you've enjoyed listening to on albums?
I think we know the answer.

Jazz Piano School Is Different
Yes there are other jazz piano websites and education on the internet, but Jazz Piano School is unique because it was specifically built to solve a common problem among jazz students. That problem is lack of structured, organized, and step-by-step jazz education that provides us with clear details and practice exercises so we know exactly what to do in order to get better and accomplish our dream.
We've wasted 15 years, jumping around youtube videos, switching teachers, guessing, doubting, feeling frustrated, embarrassed, insecure, and crappy because of the way jazz education is taught.
In other words, we've been in the trenches so you don't have to! Our mission is to provide you with the most comprehensive, systematic, easy to follow education and courses so you can quickly and efficiently apply what you're learning and start seeing results immediately! If this sounds appealing then you welcome! You've found your home. :)
...and if all that wasn't enough...
