I took Jazz Piano lessons with Reggie Graham and he had many helpful things to teach me about playing Jazz Piano. Not only teaching me how to play what's on the sheet on a technical level, he talked about why the chords in the songs were arranged the way they were, what kinds of patterns to look for when approaching a piece for the first time, and how to improvise and turn a song into my own. Moreover, he has great insight, a fantastic attitude, and an infectious passion for the art. I would strongly recommend The Piano Lab for students of all levels of experience.

Only thing has a student we need to do is just follow what he teaches , for sure that will make us good pro Guitarist.
