I will:
#1 Explain in plain English to you how jazz works.
#2 Teach you how to make up melodies and solos, and play jazz chords and soloing scales, from the start of lessons (or at least soon after starting), without you having to wait forever to play them.
#3 Teach you only music theory that is absolutely necessary to make you able to play what you want to play and not get you too bogged down in it.

Hi! My name is Mark Meronek, and I am a jazz piano teacher and I would love to help you learn jazz and how to improv if my teaching style is a good fit.
If you were to take lessons with me, you would learn jazz songs, chord progressions, and how to improv. Most of all, my goal is to guide you to that feeling of improvisation that you see when you see jazz pianists play.
You might be afraid to get started and I know taking on jazz can seem intimidating, but you can expect to feel like you are learning jazz at your pace, where you are relaxed, when taking lessons with me.
You might be afraid too of having a boring teacher or lessons and with a teacher who doesn't listen to you and talks over you, and you can expect the opposite of that with me, someone who really listens to you and lessons focused on fun and the MUSIC. But better than me telling you that, here is a student's review to support that:
"Mark is a very enthusiastic and supportive teacher. With me hardly having any musical background he rapidly managed to turn me into a musician. Without any boring exercise, or too much theory, he taught me how to connect to the musical side in me and express myself through the piano.
I highly recommend him, he is truly amazing."
