Where to focus my time on this site for solo piano?
I’ve recently listened to the Dec 2023 podcast episode around organizing your goal. I’d like to play solo jazz piano, starting with ballad style. Should I start with the “Solo Piano System” course, or continue my progress in the “Main Curriculum” (currently on Stage 1), or a combination of both? Material overlaps in both approaches, but I don’t want to multi-task classes if it detracts from progress in my overall goal.

Hi Cindy,
Fantastic question!
This is something I’m going to be redoing this year inside of JPS. I’m working hard to get this done before I get married in June!
Currently if you’re looking to focus on solo piano I would say the best place to go is to the Solo Piano System specialty course, inside the specialty course area. You can find this on the LH side of the dashboard or in the menu on mobile.
The main course curriculum does have LOTS of solo piano info but it is tied in with other goals such as comping, improv, group playing and other stuff so like you said it does overlap.
The new area and philosophy I’ll be building out soon will focus on 3 goals I believe are the true cornerstones to quick progress.
#1 – Comping or accompaniment for the goal of playing in a band
#2 – Solo Piano
#3 – ImprovThose will be coming later but for now follow my advice above.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted on your progress and thanks for engaging with the community and asking your question here. -
Thanks for the guidance, Brenden!
