Dharmajazz
Welcome to Dharmajazz. My name is Steve Snelling and my background is in jazz and classical piano, but I've enjoyed playing in hundreds of bands in a wide range of styles. Dharmajazz is a collection of tips, tools, and resources I've gathered over the years for learning and teaching music. Dharmajazz focuses in large part on tools for improvisation, but the primary mission is to help people make better music, regardless of style. Dharmajazz is also the YouTube home of my practice and teaching resource book, The Road to Aqaba — Practice Strategies for the Jazz Pianist (available ONLY at Dharmajazz.com). Please subscribe and leave a comment on a topic you would like to see addressed on this channel, and remember, "It's only a matter of going!"
