"Many can say what jazz piano isn’t. Few can show what it is, and very few can teach it step by step. Shan does all three. My local teacher helps, but the big picture and real path forward? Shan shows exactly how to progress from each level."

"in completing the fluency course and working with JazzSkills, I have gone from only a few tunes with NO fluency, or freedom, to actually comping and soloing freely. I have a jazz trio now (piano/bass/horns). Thanks Shan !"

"As a classical pianist, I went through countless jazz books and YouTube videos and I still couldn't play jazz. It wasn't until JazzSkills that I had a breakthrough! Shan is a great teacher and his method was the only one that worked for me!"

"Jazz Skills has been the piece that I was missing in my jazz learning journey. Before finding it, I bounced from resource to resource but never developed any real freedom. I finally enjoy practicing and feel that I've made huge strides."

"The dev. fluency course is exactly what I have been looking for. I now have better tools to start "knowing" how it works rather than just read the chords. (Played classical music since childhood. Jazzbands for approx 30 years as amateur.)"

"To paraphrase a song/I was lost but now I’m found 😂. I chased knowledge, information, books; a 100 ways to play jazz better and a 1000 bits of advice, and made little progress. Shan showed me how to put one step in front of another."
