D C provided me with a simple and powerful system and a great repertoire of Jazz standards that has elevated my skills and has opened up a whole new world of music and live performance. I really enjoy the annual recital and it is great to see students of all ages and abilities who are benefiting from D C DowDell's instruction."

| Name: | Ben Daley, San Diego, CA | | Title: | Testimonial for Jazz Piano Lessons | | Testimonial: | "I took piano lessons when I was a kid and then quit. I started playing around a little on the piano in my mid-thirties. After a year, I realized that I should try taking lessons again because I wasn't making that much progress. I have been taking Jazz piano lessons with D C DowDell for two years now, and I can't believe how quickly I am progressing. He keeps you moving on to new songs very quickly, so I always can feel my brain being stretched. Highly recommend D C as a Jazz piano teacher. To my surprise, I am starting to think of myself as a musician!"

I have worked with him for about 1 year and am light years ahead of where I thought I would be at this point. His approach allows you to push the envelope and play fun songs that would normally take you much longer to learn. He's also extremely knowledgeable in the arts. I'm always learning during my lessons with him. I highly recommend him as a teacher whether you are a beginner or advanced musician. Do yourself a favor and get started now!"

| Name: | Jim Georgiev, San Marcos, CA | | Title: | Testimonial for Jazz Piano Lessons | | Testimonial: | "With a mastery of harmony and piano-voicings, Professor DowDell teaches students to bring the most out of every tune, while facilitating personal expression. His approach to improvisation is based on harmonic understanding rather than the memorization of modes; students learn to formulate musical ideas spontaneously in response to chords played rather than from preconceived ideas. His love for music is infectious and his dedication to the development of his students is inspiring. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced musician, your musical experience will be greatly enhanced by taking lessons with D C DowDell."
