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.

The different «Practice Routines» in the Jazz Training Workbook have been a huge help to me. They strike a good balance between Repertoire, Technique and Improvisation, with references to the relevant lessons and practical tips from Timothy.

I'm really enjoying the Jazz Training Workbook. I have both of his jazz and reharmonization courses as well and this workbook is a great compliment to those. I love the many practice routines at the end. I would have definitely bought the workbook first if it was available at the time. It is packed full of knowledge and variety. The color coding keeps my brain engaged longer and helps me see patterns during practice.

I’ve been playing piano and keyboards for over 50 years. I really like how Timothy's workbook abstracts out certain conventions of soloing language. His lessons provide so many exercises and strategies that have immediately improved my playing. If you’re a player who is always looking for more to work on and areas to improve, this guide will be really useful!

This book is not the usual list of scales or chord progression in all keys, but an inspiring, step-by-step almanac to help me confidently improve my improvisation. Timothy's workbook has already improved my listening, singing and pattern recognition, and helped me to create my own licks and comping.

In the Jazz Training Workbook, pianist and educator Timothy Gondola has managed to assemble 300 pages of jazz education gems. It's not just the fact that he covered the topics but he also includes real world examples with transcriptions, video links to transcriptions and songs to deepen our understanding of the music and how to play these. For me, each page contained concepts, examples, ideas and suggestions that will translate into hours of practice. There's so much in here and with each practice session from the workbook, it's helped me come back to the fundamentals that help make us all better jazz musicians. Thanks Timothy!

I found the "Jazz Training Workbook" to be a well-structured and valuable resource. The material is presented clearly and progresses in a logical manner, allowing theoretical concepts to be understood and applied directly at the piano. Topics such as voicings, comping, rhythm and improvisation are addressed with appropriate depth and clarity.The strength of the Workbook lies in its practical orientation. Each concept is demonstrated through musical examples and connected to standard repertoire, which helps bridge the gap between theory and real playing situations. The explanations are precise and focused, avoiding unnecessary complication while maintaining musical rigor. Overall, this tutorial has contributed positively to my approach to comping and improvisation, expanding my harmonic awareness and improving my consistency at the instrument.
