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!

All the Videos, midi files,transcriptions, leadsheets and backing tracks that I have done are on my DVD (below).

I can only lust after your talent. I try, but am not in your league. I wish you were playing in a bar somewhere tonight and I could just sit with a wine, and listen!!

As a 19 year old aspiring jazz pianist, your channel has become a tremendous gift and immensely enhanced my own playing.
