About

I am a (retired) teacher having taught in a jazz studies course at a tertiary college in Geelong Australia. My primary interest is to provide as much information as I can to intermediate - advanced jazz piano students. I record the video, audio (as an MP3 file on my computer) and as a midi file (on my NORD Piano 2) all at the same time so all are in sync. Usually straight after recording, I add the comments that try to explain some of the melodic/harmonic ideas that I used. The videos are assembled later - often with transcriptions (generated from the midi file by computer - usually PowerTracks or Real Band from PGmusic) and always with annotations that explain some of the techniques used. Go to my website at http://www.bushgrafts.com for free downloads of these videos. - or go to my website to buy a DVD with all the videos at high quality and printable transcriptions. HINT: Hitting 'Ctrl/Shift/S' in Windows Media Player slows the DVD videos down! Ctrl/Shift/N returns to normal spee
