Jazz Training Workbook by Timothy Gondola

The Jazz Training Workbook is a one-of-a-kind, comprehensive training system designed to help pianists develop the skills, understanding, and independence needed to internalize jazz. Created through years of teaching, performing, transcribing, and conversations with over a hundred pianists about the frustrations and roadblocks they encountered while learning jazz piano, this workbook is carefully built to provide a clearer and effective path forward. Rather than encouraging dependence on endless videos, courses, and scattered resources, the workbook equips students with the tools needed to train and develop themselves as jazz musicians.

Organized into seven major sections — the mind, rhythm, right hand, ear, chords, musicianship, and practice— the workbook combines practical exercises with listening examples, guided practice modules, musical discoveries, and personal tips from Timothy. The Jazz Training Workbook is both a structured training program and a long-term musical reference. It offers a thorough and organized catalog of the core concepts, systems, and skills used by jazz pianists.
