About the Webinar

​​​Although swing is a rich musical dialect at the heart of jazz music, most piano teachers know next to nothing about how to produce a good swing feel. Playing with a good swing feel requires knowledge of both rhythms and articulations that change depending on tempo and style.

Pianist Jeremy Siskind, author of the Jazz Piano Fundamentals book series, will explain the details of swing rhythm and articulation and give examples of how to apply the concepts to pedagogical pieces. Then, he will explain how swing works in other styles like bossa nova and samba. Teachers will leave feeling more confident in their ability to swing like a real jazz pianist.
