Im also a self taught jazz pianist. One of the great thing about jazz piano is that there are so many aspects to practise on, and it doesnt always require literally sitting in front of the piano. Don't you admire those guitarist who can sit on a sofa and practise their playing while watching tv or something. Hehe.. well that was what I actually did, I bought a very very very small portable keyboard, so that I can practise my playing all day long, even lying in bed... Hey… same here.

I've been playing the piano since I was 5 (now 21) but I've been in the classical world of it all and only discovered Jazz when I was 13 or 14. I'm in love with the music but I don't have the money to take lessons and would rather teach myself. Unfortunately I can't sit at the piano for hours on end but I want to learn so badly... I guess I just have to. Boy can I relate to 2 and 3. I’ve been playing the piano since I was 5 (now 21) but I’ve been in the classical world of it all and only discovered Jazz when I was 13 or 14.
