If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I ready to move on?” — this episode is for you. One of the biggest reasons jazz piano players get stuck is because they don’t have clear benchmarks to tell them when a skill is actually mastered — or when they’re just getting by. In this episode, I break down how to measure your progress the right way so you stop bouncing between random exercises and finally start building a solid foundation.
