I've been a teacher, not of music, for about 5 decades. I know what it takes to put out a lesson even only 30 minutes long. But to put out the lessons that you do, in addition to the incredible graphics that accompany the lesson, the effort and dedication are not lost on any serious teacher of any discipline. If there is such a thing as karma, you will be handsomely rewarded for all of your hard work, freely given to so many people. Thank you, Oliver.

@@NewJazz I think we all absolutely agree! I am a piano (classical) teacher since more than 20 years and had a few tries on doing jazz-improvisation but never really got into it. YOUR videos made me finally getting into it and enjoying it and also teaching some of it to my students and they really enjoy (90% of them I would say). Thank you from Switzerland!

18 years of classical music and no one told me this before. Appreciate how you build a better world!

WOW. Most instructors and teaching books just tell you to "play around" or "just noodle around" to improv. THIS GUY actually gives you a template to learn on. Please donate as if you just took a private lesson, because you aren't going to find a better teacher live or internet!!!

Piano with Jonny is also real good!

Never found another wholesome teacher like this one, and with such good lessons. Incredible

piano school dropout here; it’s be 15 years since I had a bad experience when learning to play. I bought a keyboard a couple of years ago but have been feeling intimidated and not sure where to begin. Your lessons have made me feel hopeful and want to practice very hard again. They don’t make me feel like I am a child nor are they too difficult to keep up with, you have a gift, so Thank you!!!

This guy is, by far, the best teacher I ever knew! Thank you, Oliver.

Hey Oliver thank you buddy awesome man gr8 exercises I'm just quietly practicing & my partner is already making very encouraging comments on what she can hear me playing "thank you sir you I am winning a fan already. I will work hard & practice I feel I'm entering uncharted territory its just unbelievable m8 " God Bless Oliver Prehn."

You are the best piano teacher in the whole universe. I become more and more sure of it every time I watch a new lesson!!

Oliver, if you ever want to move to the United States and become a music teacher, I can PROMISE you, you will be able to quit your day job. You have an amazing teaching style, and from word of mouth alone, you will get more students than you can handle. Thank you so much for your free lessons. I did make a contribution as a small token of my appreciation, and I look forward to becoming an amazing keyboard player. Thank you!!!

Yes Mr. Glenn, you're absolutely correct. Mr. Oliver is an excellent teacher with amazing teaching style. Very easy to understand lessons, (though not so easy to follow in the beginning).

This my 6th day of playing the piano ever and the start of the second day learning about this channel. I’ve decided to start with learning and mastering everything in this video. Currently I can play the exercise where you play the chord on left hand along with changing to e flat pentatonic. Conclusion, you’ve in a great help and I can already feel myself becoming more comfortable on the keyboard, also the coordination between left and right hands has definitely improved and I thought that was gonna take months on end to see improvement

This is completely incredible, you create the best lessons imaginable in terms of the way you introduce the concepts but also the musicality of the exercises. If I ever study seriously instead of just mess around I will go through your program. Just the fact that your videos exist is actually a motivation in itself.

the lecture is mind-blowingly inspiring!! truly "fantastic" !! :) not to mention that that music in the beginning is totally like Emerson Lake and Palmer :) (wow-wow-wow!!!!)

God bless you with more intelligent for the charitable work you do, I'm bless by your teaching. Thank you 🙏❤️👏

Now, I'm free and happy with my music! Thank you so much, Oliver!

You're really a genius! You have a pure gift of teaching piano! I'm really learning watching your videos! Blessings!

Oliver sir, a big thank you for making things so simple. You are a great inspiration to so many teachers and students. 👍🏽

I love is light blue finger nail polish he wears for some notes. Very sophisticated.

As an absolute beginner and someone who isn’t really interested in jazz, a lot of what he says in these videos is beyond me, yet each piece of his lessons gets me thinking and trying little things that inspire and exite me. Wonderful!

Hi and great that you get inspired. We certainly don't have to know everything to play great Music - so don't worry ;)

This will change my musical life and roadmap. Thank you...

I’m so lucky to have found your channel. This is my fifth lessons and I keep getting inspired by your instruction. I’m so thankful that you put this together and share your technique, knowledge and talent with the world! Thank you!

Simply Amazing Didatics. One can go from basic to very advanced stuff in music theory with just 3 videos of this channel. Maybe the best teacher (considering ANY field I tried to learn about) I've ever seen. Congrats.

Man you are an inspiration and a great teacher. I've been playing guitar for 15 years and your videos convinced me to give it a go and learn piano as well. Thank you

Joe Mechwar you took the words right out of my mouth, New Jazz is a hidden gem. I am totally grateful for these lessons, my skills have grown leaps and bounds. Thank you Oliver for what you do, and your generosity. BIG INSPIRATION too me!

Whaaaaaaat! What a lesson! This is enough to take my jazz to whatever level. God bless you very much!

Simply brilliant! I'm a professional guitar player of 40 years and I appreciate your ideas so much! You've inspired me to innovate my technique in so many ways. Thank you!

probably the best stuff regarding Piano on the Internet. New Jazz are just magnificent.

Truly awesome. No mysteries here and just follow the patterns and we can actually play :D Thanks so much!

You really simplify this in a much needed way.

What a simple yet ingenious lesson Oliver! Danke schön!

OMG! This lesson is so important to me!! thank you so much Oliver for giving so many practical ways in practicing. You are the REAL teacher who TEACHES US PRACTICE!! Amazing and I am so glad to know you online! HUG THANKS!!

Thank heavens for his lovely kind man. I’m going to do all his channels from the beginning. His lessons are so helpful above many of the other professional or talented consummate pianists that think they are helping. One of the best piano learning channels on KZread. His channels will help my son during this lockdown and no school period and I’m very grateful for that.

Not only being a top notch practice routine, it's open to development like playing arpeggios with left hand, using odd time signatures etc. Thank you

Oliver, you’re a legend 👍

A beautiful way of making an inspiring exercise out of something seemingly simple. You’re a great teacher.

you are really an amazing teacher with a real sense of what music should be..

Essa foi a melhor didática de ensino que encontrei no KZread.com até hoje, com excelente áudio e vídeo. Parabéns pela dedicação. Deus abençoe você. This was the best teaching didactic I found on KZread.com to date with excellent audio and video. Congratulations for your dedication. God bless you.

Hi Corey, you are a very skilled musician. Pray you stay healthy and preserve yourself from sickness, so that you can continue to bless the world with this gift. Now the thing I want to see is Real Old School Chords and runs that take you to church. Many try but you can hear the contemporary sound, but I would love to see a mini series of Old School Gospel and then A mini series of New school Gospel. A lot to ask I know but the vast knowledge you have is tempting and I love to pick the brain of musicians like you.

Hi and thank you so much for your very nice comment!!! I'm so sorry but I have so many request so I cannot promise - I hope that you understand… it takes about 4 weeks to create each lesson - when I'm about 200 years old we just may have it all, I guess… but thanks a lot for your relevant and qualified input, I will have it in mind for sure!!! Warm regards from Oliver

Hello again. Been up all night watching your videos. Always creative, thorough, informative, well structured and immensely enjoyable. I realize it takes a tremendous amount of time and effort to create these videos and as others have highlighted, it’s recognized and appreciated more than words can express. Please know that your efforts add a great deal of enjoyment to my life and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You are so talented for explaining things easily. Thanks! It’s very helpful.

Muchas gracias Oliver!! Tu modo de enseñar técnicas de Jazz, hace del aprendizaje, una cosa sencilla y divertida y abre tu mente para crear melodías y patterns libremente. No sólo útil para principiantes sino para todo nivel. Aprendo mucho de tus clases. Excelente sonido, gráficos y calidad de video. Eres un gran docente. Gracias por compartir tu arte.

Thanks Oliver, you’ve got me thinking in a new way.

Internet at its best. Thank you Oliver !

Empressive! It's an enjoyable way to train my fingers. Thank you sir!!!

C’est vraiment une excellente manière d’apprentissage et de compréhension des utilisations de la gamme pentatonique. Bravo

I'm so grateful! Thanks for sharing your knolegment to us!

Truly amazing! Super impressed by the quality of your lessons, thank you so much for putting the effort and sharing this online!

EXCELLENTE ! There are teachers,instructors, that make learning exciting and wonderful and that, Sir, is you.Soulful lovely music. I mean Jazz. Quiet; not noisy.Thank you.

This is the best I've seen. Above all praise. Many thanks.

Sensacional!!! Estremamente didático e aplicável!

Oh! This is the simplest and greatest exercise that I have ever met. And also it's good to spend time in practicing this in the current isolation life due to the virus. Thank you very much!

Just in time for Easter break :) i love the way all the lessons follow previous learnings. Thanks again Oliver. Look forward to practicing this.

Thank you very much from France. You're my best internet piano teatcher !

Époustouflant, vous êtes le meilleur ! salutations de la Tunisie (Tunisia).

This lesson is amazing! Rhythm is one thing that never came naturally for me, I've worked very hard on it over the years to get where I am, but I still haven't had that kind of freedom I wanted rhythmically. This lesson gave me the tools to really dig in and demystify complex jazz rhythms.
