There are other ‘learn jazz’ channels, but Oliver takes his time to help you see what is going on. That makes a huge difference and makes this my favourite channel. Speed snd performance comes later. Thank you once again Oliver for a great lesson. 👏 👍🏻

I follow multiple piano jazz channels, and they all offer something a little bit different. For example Walk That Bass does a great job of breaking down the theory, Open Studio has a great jazz piano player in Peter Martin that you can emulate. NewJazz is very inspirational. Everytime I watch I feel inspired to learn!

Your practice videos sound more musical and melodic than most mainstream commercial music these days. Oliver Prehn, the bus-driving Bach you're awesome!

I don't play keyboard, but this video has solved so many mysteries for me. It is THE BEST keyboard and improvisation video I have seen in a very long time. Thanks for your great effort.

Hi Oliver. Not only I enjoy this video lesson but the cat is purring like crazy while watching :) Joy to you.

Sir I'm gonna watch all your videos and learn them all

Always an amazing lesson from Ollie garanteed. ❤👏👏👏👏

Dear Oliver your channel made me to believe it's truly possible to make it. I just wanted to thank you for the time you spend in teaching. May God bless you so much. Greetings from Burundi, Central Africa. I now understand what's going arround this wonderful jazz solos. Much Respect

Señor Oliver, lo considero además de un gran músico, una de las personas mas didácticas que he conocido, muy buen trabajo el suyo, gracias

Just fabulous

Beautiful Lesson!!!!

Another winner lesson Oliver thank you.

i appreciate your efforts!

Thanks for being here Oliver. This lesson was invaluable. I'm looking forward to the rest.

Yes, always inspiring, thanks Olivier.

Thanks, Oliver! I usually improvise with a sense of playfulness and surprise in addition to your memos. I always get value from your lessons. Thanks again.

Brillantly useful !! Thanks a bunch !!

I love his Style

It reminds me of the very first time I held a guitar in my hands. I was told actually to NOT do much and breathe from time to time. That valuable lesson always stayed in my mind, even though it was a word of advice far ahead for my knowledge back then. Thanks for putting this together Oliver! Your lessons are really a great help for free playing. Not depending on a piece or anything else. Just sit and let it come.

As always: GREAT!

Спасибо вам большое!👍

Dear Olivier, your presentation is full of pedagogical insights. I believe you have simplified the science of music. Great and inspiring demonstration.......Bravo monsieur!

You are MY prof! Huge thanks! keep on keepin'on. You have the perfect touch & approach!

Very good, thank you

Extraordinario!!!!!

Impecable! Gracias!!!

Thanks for your material and sharing with the people! Very practical and didactic for me!

Like it a lot! bravooo!

The way your voice grooves over the beat. Fire.

God bless Oliver Prehn 🙏🙌

Really excited to get yr video uploaded notice every time.

I'm an average drummer and a newbie saxophonist, so maybe a misfit among you pianist guys.. but I've spent HOURS watching these videos. Simply, love them. Can't wait to learn playing piano.

Such simple but so powerfull ideas!! Just brilliant as always!!

The instrument one is learning doesn't matter much when following your lessons, everyone leaves grateful, inspired and having learnt so much more, they can't wait for your next lesson. That's how great a music teacher you are. God keep you.

Important lesson from the best teacher...

your a really amazing teacher

🎷muy bueno !! 👍

This is some next level content that transcends even the musical content!

I love tour Channel so much

Thank you sir! I appreciate every one of your videos I’ve seen! I always learn on a level that reaches down to the basics of life. And I come away with a whole new appreciation of what I and music have in common.

Cette leçon m’a permis de mieux comprendre les différentes couches d’une texture musical. Comment la musique médiatique puissante doit être utilisée pour transporter nos pensées, nos emotions et nos sentiments. Merci Oliver tu as enrichi ma capacité d’écoute et d’apprécier plus, et surtout de mieux te connaître (A real Feeler) 🙏 🙏

So pleasant and beautiful, so calms to hear you speaking and explains and of course your amazing playing on the piano. Thanks for magical moments.

Absolutely amazing lesson! One of the best lessons ever Thank you Oliver

Thank you ❤️❤️ for helping us.. !!!

I love your theory lessons, please do more

Thank You 🍻

this was a really good demonstration for beginners and intermediate players alike thank you for the free content

Молодец композитор!

Gràcies !!!!

Yet another wonderful video, I'm running out of words of praise for you.

Love the way this is as percieved from the perspective of the listener, by making the player also to be a listener. Can so often be difficult to play and hear what your playing, just like we often speak without thinking. Great stuff as always thank you Oliver.

Thanks ❤

10:25 is mr. Prehn's right hand to all piano tutorial channels out there xD

I don't think Oliver has the perfect recipe to explain jazz, nobody does, but I think to understand the recipe, you have to find THE right person who can speak your mind language. Thanks Olivier for speaking my mind language :))) and thanks for what you do, so much !

tks from Brazil

Thank you so much .I greet you

U the best 🎹

Geniales contenidos..como nos tienes acostumbrados..gracias!

Amazing content! I'm excited to incorporate your memos into my playing. My piano skills have really improved from watching your vids and practicing using your suggestions!

Buenísimo

Thank you Oliver! Thanks to you I can learn what I want to do. Expressing the subconscious contents without any hurdles of the mind through music. And I do really feel happy when you mentioned the 4th note. We all now have the power to empty our minds, but the mind is like a pond, and no one can smooth rough water with an iron, we have to leave it alone, to let it settle itself And through meditation we can achieve a peaceful state of emptiness. Just simply close your eyes, sit in a comfortable position with your back straight, put your hands on your lap or interlock your hand. Now focus on your ears, let just aware of every sound that your hear, but don't name it. Yes, do not give them names, judging them, as if there is a wrong sound, or a right sound, they are all just sounds. Close your eyes and leave them be - just like leaving the pond settle itself. In another words, just let your ears hear whatever it wants to hear. And now when you can leave all of the sounds alone, focus on your breathing, in and out now slowly but consciously. Maybe breathing in beats. 1 2 3 4 in 1 2 3 4 out, and please don't rush yourself in higher bpm Do it everyday for 20 - 30 minutes a day. Start with 10 - 15 or even 5 minutes to see how you feel. I am really glad to see people showing love to New Jazz channel. And I wish through meditation we can all experience happiness and peace in the immediate moment. Best of luck

...thanks man I appreciate it

Great memos, Oliver, please keep moving on, you inspire musicians, thank you so much for that. 👍🏻

Thanks for all the great lessons! I am learning a lot from you! Don't stop, keep going. Greetings from Brazil

good teacher, thank you very much~

This is another awesome content Oliver!!! It's obvious you're not only a musician and fine tutor but a philosopher 😀 too 👏 . It's so true we tend to overthink our solos ( just to show off ) and not only that but the whole life itself, therefore this is a good life - lesson as well. Exactly the way you explained it, the beauty is in the balance in everything - thats the most difficult to achieve. Keep them coming !

Fascinante aprender técnicas musicales e ingles al tiempo, estoy enloquecido, ambas cosas me divierten mucho.

The surprise memo is surpriseing

This is the best lesson I have ever watched! I`m not a pianist, I play guitar, but this lesson is not about technique or a particular instrument this is about the music! Thank you so much for such a great lesson and example and the way you explain things is absolutely wonderful great!!! And one more thing, I don`t know how it happened, but I absolutely accidently watched this lesson exactly when I was ready to understand it and exactly when I need so much.

Hi Oliver, thank you very much again for this nice, clear and joyful instruction. Love them every month!! Playing not only piano but also saxophone, for me playing a solo, I would name it working from a small theme, playing it in different ways while building up the variations, letting space, then coming into new melodies, but....... then back to the theme or phrase I started with, retaking it and going into it again. Recording and listening back myself from time to time helps me a lot to develop the skills on this joyful way to be in my musical world (and hopefully taking my audience with me into it 😊).

Muito obrigado, grande abraço do Brasil !

I know i've said this before but you are the best jazz sax teacher on YT. Even though you dont play sax

It happened 🔓🎵😆 thank you for your content it truly helped me to get to this point of course I need to practice my scale 🎹 but now I know why 🤓

非常喜欢，无关语言，也非常好理解

Thank you for the continuous inspiration. Your lessons prompted me to come back to music after 10 years break. The progress I made in the last year is unbelievable. And I started on 3 octave midi keyboard with very small and plastic keys. You made me believe again that everything is possible. I think having to much memos might complicate improvisation learning. After many experiments I have only one memo: LISTENING. If I wasn't sure I listen enough I play with my eyes closed. Of course, you mentioned about listening and evaluation. I would only add - listen to the sound and to the silence between sounds. Listen to your body, including fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, heart, lungs... Listen to your thoughts and notice - as soon you begin admire yourself and your amazing skills you stopped listening and music is gone leaving fortissimo notes and stiffed body. So listen even to your listening and when it stops make a brake and start to listen again 😂

Blessings

I watch newJazz for 3 or 4 years now and it not only helped me with piano theory but I also use the knowledge to learn other instruments by ear. Now I Just wanted to comment about this if anyone knows and can help me to reach another channel with same Oliver PREHN skills and time and Love for learning BASS. Electric Bass for the moment. Please anyone. Thanks!!

Oliver, here are my own memos for me to practice. Memo 1 As it relates to Dynamic, I tend to play very softly (as opposed to you) and I also need to work on accented different beats on each measure to change the volume shape of each bar. Memo 2 I need to remember to keep recording myself while playing. Memo 3 Practicing to lock with the beat. BTW, I am glad to be part of the five percent

I am part of the hardcore audience ^^

First! nice video... [edit] GREAT video Oliver (breathe)

1)Do not thinking 2)Have fun 3)Be relaxed

Great stuff, as always Oliver. 👏 I struggle to develop hand and finger independence, so even playing a slow bassline like yours, whilst improvising with the right hand is a challenge. Do you have some exercises for developing hat independence?

Magnifique. Très inspirant. What about the pedal sustain? Do we play with in jazz? Thanks a lot for these inspirations !!!!

Merci !

Great lesson, teacher. Memos: space, definitely. Jokes. Slip a few jokes in (willful discords, quotes, a completely different song...)

Great. Mais mon anglais n'est pas très bon et il n'y a pas de sous-titres en français. Je vais aussi faire des progrès en anglais ! Thank you.

Amazing and thanks Oliver. Just a question. Are you using hand grip concept that you use in previous lessons for fingering when appergiating??

i have a memo add on... listen. and reduce. and express

You may rest your case, Oliver, on the best selling jazz album of the last 60 years; the one with space. 5th memo: sausages.

1) Listen 2) Relax 3) Breathe

Another memo could be "Lightness" in the sense, that the keys feel soft and easy to move (not press or chop!). This is not just correct fingering, it's a whole body thing, but also a mental one. Sometimes it's also a question of daily form, but one can improve even on a bad day. "Lightness" is a category only the musician himself "feels". It is better, to have a not too easy-going keyboard to practise this. How to make a hard going keyboard to a "light-weigh-subjective-feel" one. My improvisation gets always way better, wenn i "made the keys fleet-fooded". Maybe you know what i mean. Of course it's almost impossible to make a video about this... :-)

🤘 This is an awesome one, can't thank you enough for sharing those premium lessons. Sir, you might want to go cryptos/nfts for donations and have an alternative to patreon 😉

Thanks Oliver but how to play jazz on 5-octave keybords? It's possible?
