"After years of teaching bebop, I built the app I wish I had as a student"

Amir Small

Amir Small

Jazz pianist and educator, training musicians worldwide in bebop improvisation with a proven progressive method

My journey with jazz improvisation began as a young musician, captivated by the energy and complexity of bebop. I remember the frustration of trying to unlock the secrets behind those lightning-fast lines and intricate harmonies, often feeling overwhelmed by where to start and how to progress. Over time, I immersed myself in the bebop tradition, studying the masters and experimenting with countless approaches on my own instrument.

As I developed my own voice, I realized that many musicians—regardless of their instrument—struggled with the same challenges I once faced. That’s what inspired me to start teaching. Through years of working with dozens of students around the world, I refined a personalized, progressive training method that breaks down bebop improvisation into clear, achievable steps. My approach is rooted in tradition but designed to be accessible for musicians at any skill level.

I built this app to share that method with a wider audience. Every lesson, exercise, and practice routine is based on what I’ve seen work in real lessons, tailored to help you internalize bebop language and improvise with confidence. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to take your playing to the next level, this app is designed to meet you where you are and guide you forward.

My hope is that this app helps you experience the same breakthroughs and joy that jazz improvisation has brought to my life. Let’s keep the bebop tradition alive—one solo at a time.

Mr. Amir is very thorough and professional. He has a great passion for music and teaching. My kids are learning a lot and in just 3 months, we have seen such progress. It is a great feeling when you see your child playing a song that was taught by their teacher. I have seen great improvements in my kids since lessons began in January. I would recommend Mr. Amir to anyone who is seeking a music teacher who is inspiring and professional.

Amir clearly knows and LIVES the content which he teaches - which is extremely important as a piano/music teacher. He does not just tell you to practice certain things and walks away- he works with you to learn the principles and ensures understanding before finishing a lesson. His classes have been filled with vital information and concepts that I will use forever in my own playing and teaching. His ear and depth of knowledge are fantastic, and he catches any mistakes instantly and helps to fix them. His examples are great and he is patient and caring, seeking to have his students completely understand before moving on. He has a professional and effective setup and delivery method, and I have had nothing but good interactions from both technical and educational standpoints. Not only that, he is an incredible player! Love taking lessons with Amir. I highly recommend!

I selected Mr. Small for my child's first group lesson. I didn't know what to expect. During the year-long session, I realized that his piano acumen, passion for his art, and patience (a lot of it) are required to transfer his talents to the next generation. My son was six years old when we started. Two years later, we are moving strong and will continue until we can.

Mr. Amir is probably the best teacher l've had and he's the one that got me the farthest in learning and practicing piano. The music theory that he knew was extensive and he was still able to break it down and explain it to me so that I would understand it well. He's taught me a number of songs and through the things he's taught me I'm now able to apply that music theory to songs I want to do on my personal time, which helps my practice when i'm not in class. Even just the talks that we've had about future plans and advice that he's given me, have helped me to see things from other perspectives. Though the theory can be hard at first to understand, he makes it a point to get me to learn step by step even if we might be a little behind schedule, so that I can really know what I'm doing. Overall, he knows a lot about his craft and is a great teacher.

It's never too late to learn! His individualized lesson plans, consistent encouragement, and style of teaching have sent me above and beyond the initial expectations I had set out for myself in such a short amount of time.

Mr. Small was a wonderful instructor. Jazzel is shy and I was very happy that she was able to open up and enjoy her classes and instructor. Thank you for a great experience.

Working with Amir on developing my piano skills has helped me in innumerous ways. As a beginner, I appreciate how he takes his time to meet you where you're at, while providing you with the foundational tools you need to enhance you're chops as a musican. It's never too late to learn! His individualized lesson plans, consistent encouragement, and style of teaching have sent me above and beyond the initial expectations I had set out for myself in such a short amount of time. Amir is a master of his craft, and I am so grateful to be learning from him. He is simply the best!

The most that I like to work with Mr.Amir was the passion and the dedication he's have a the time of teaching. He works with my daughter Alexa for about three years and the progress and grow I see in my daughter is still reflecting until today's day. I also love the level of respect and communication Mr. Amir maintain with me and my daughter every class and every time he communicate with me. I wish him the best in the new path he decided to follow up.
