SJW Jazz Piano Intensive for Adults

In this exciting new program, you’ll get lots of experience playing in trio and solo piano settings. You’ll lead your own piano trio with a professional rhythm section, and you’ll receive coaching on solo piano arranging and performance.

Led by renowned jazz pianist, educator, and author Jeremy Siskind, the Jazz Piano Intensive program is open to adults 21 and over, by audition only. In addition to ensemble instruction and master classes from Jeremy and renowned SJW piano faculty, you’ll get deeper into jazz theory and musicianship as it applies to the piano, and you’ll have access to special presentations from SJW’s Jazz Institute faculty, who are some of the world’s best jazz artists. A special showcase exclusively for Jazz Piano Intensive students will let you put your new knowledge on stage in performance.
