I am a (retired) teacher having taught in a jazz studies course at a tertiary college in Geelong Australia.
My primary interest is to provide as much information as I can to intermediate - advanced jazz piano students.
I record the video (on a cheap webcam), audio (as an MP3 file on my computer) and as a midi file (on my Yamaha P-250 piano) all at the same time so all are in sync.
Usually straight after recording, I add the comments that try to explain some of the melodic/harmonic ideas that I used.
The videos are assembled later - often with transcriptions (generated from the midi file by computer - usually PowerTracks from PGmusic) and always with annotations that explain some of the techniques used.
Go to my website at http://www.bushgrafts.com for free downloads of these videos.
- or go to my website to buy my DVD with all the videos at high quality and extra printable transcriptions. Hitting 'Ctrl/Shift/S' in Windows Media Player slows the DVD videos down!

....I was just scrolling through some of your favorites and uploads and I thought to myself you might actually benefit and enjoy many of the trumpet videos on my channel. By the way, I have TWO Trumpet programs:
1) 3 months and 50 techniques to Trumpet Upper Register Program
2) Top Tier Lead Trumpet Program
Both programs can be taken by anyone, anywhere in the world either by phone or via skype.
Be sure to check out many of the graduates who have made video testimonies letting others know what there results were from taking my courses!
I am also easy to find: Just type in KURT THOMPSON TRUMPET and you can find many of my sites, bands, videos, and my contact info...or you can just reply to this email.
At the very least, I welcome you as a new subscriber!
