Jazz Piano Lessons

Want to learn how to improvise? Want to improve your improvisation? Learn from an experienced recording and performing artist!

I am well known as a composer and jazz improviser. In addition to that, I’m also classically trained, and therefore I can provide guidance in both practical and theoretical aspects of jazz improvisation and music in general. You will have to have had a good skill in music performance and theory prior to starting your lesson with me. You can get lessons in scales, harmony, analysis, and various aspects of musical vocabulary, and most importantly, how to apply the knowledge in performance.

My track record includes jazz albums that have garnered critical acclaims from both Australian and international media. My music has been described as “strong … and beautiful” (Ivan Lloyd, ABC Jazz, November 2013), “sensational and colourful” (Angela Jones, Inner FM, August 2014), and “expressive” (Steve Sedergreen, October 2014). The debut album by my improvising group The ishs/Allen Project has been praised by media “very accomplished” (Tom Tom, USA, April 2015), “cracking” (Eastside FM Sydney, Australia, April 2015), and “very uplifting” (Jazzwise, UK, March 2015).

Lessons are offered in my home studio in Roxburgh Park, Vic. I can come to your home/rehearsal studio if there’s a piano (if needed) and you’re willing to cover my travel cost (depending on your location). Your first lesson is about getting to know you, and it’s free!
