Free online courses on Jazz Piano (FutureLearn)

[James Roscoe]

Hey all, I haven't posted on this forum for a while but I recently spotted these courses on Jazz Piano via FutureLearn and thought they'd be worth sharing - There's a series of them running over a period of about 6 months, each one being about 6 weeks long with a commitment of a few hours a week. I've just done the first one in the series and found it incredibly interesting and useful for learning more theory and practical techniques around jazz piano (an area which I've been keen to improve on for a while). Worth checking out? Maybe I'll see some of you on the course!
