Merry Christmas!

Dear patrons, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I went to Macalester College from 2011-2015, during which I discovered jazz piano and transcriptions. I began transcribing and publishing via YouTube in earnest in 2016-2017.

I hope you and your family enjoy the holidays, and if it is a difficult time, that you find comfort.

Also, there is 1 day left to take advantage of the 30% discount on my jazz piano improv course, and the 20% discount on orders of $20 or above (use discount code 20FOR20).
