Hey friends and fellow pianists,
After years of teaching, I’m excited to announce that to go along with my Left Hand video series (video below), I’ve created this PDF of what I believe are the ten best exercises for developing impressive left hand technique quickly and efficiently.

As a thank you for your devotion as a member, I’d like to give you a special discount. At checkout, just put in the code JPCSPECIALMEMBER for an additional 20% off for a limited time only!
You will build technique, as well as left hand independence. You’ll also have some interesting new licks to play with your left hand, including bebop, modern II-V-I’s and modern improv licks. Those of you who have studied with me privately may recognize some of the exercises, while there will be new ones for you as well.
After you pick up the PDF, please feel free to contact me with any comments or questions about the material. I’d love to hear your feedback.
Wishing you all the best as you continue your journey to become better pianists,
Noah Kellman
