Love the economical way you deliver your points, and immediately illustrate them on the piano with impeccable touch and technique. In the area of Jazz piano education, only one or two other people on YouTube can compete with your levels of preparation and presentation. Very impressive indeed.

Another great video. Interesting how you impart so much knowledge, insight and information in such a short period of time. Also, the elements of jazz piano that are not focused on as often by others but is equally important, in fact, all the events are important. So important to have teachers that "speak" theory and performance in the specific way the students learns! That way the method is so much more efficient! Keep doing what you do, much appreciated, Pamela!🎉

Excellent instruction! How about a subsequent video on playing ballads and using occasional left hand arpeggios in the accompaniment. I know many who have fingering issue with left hand arpeggios, so perhaps some general strategies for that could be offered.
