I believe boogie woogie piano isn’t just a skill — it’s a life force.
And for me, Jonah Schwickert, it’s even more personal than that.

Boogie-woogie and blues piano didn’t just give me joy — they saved me during one of the hardest times of my life.
That’s why this isn’t just another online course platform.
It’s a mission:
To keep the spirit of real boogie-woogie alive — and to pass it on in a way that actually works for real people.

When I started teaching piano at 16, I followed the traditional path:
Classical lessons, endless sheet music, and rigid methods.
It drained the passion right out of playing — for me, and for my students.

And every time I performed live, I saw the same pattern:
Crowds light up when they hear boogie-woogie...
Then someone would say, “I wish I could play like that... but I guess I’m just not cut out for it.”

That moment used to break my heart — because it wasn’t their fault.
The way piano has been taught for decades makes it nearly impossible for most people to succeed.
And especially for a free and wild style like boogie-woogie?
The traditional method just doesn’t work.

After losing my mother — my first teacher and my biggest supporter — I lost my way with music.
Classical pieces felt cold.
Practicing scales felt meaningless.

Until, one night, sitting alone at my piano, something changed.
My hands wandered... and out came the blues.
Raw, imperfect, emotional.

That moment pulled me back to life.

And it made me realize something deep:
Music is supposed to be felt first — not judged or feared.

I made it my mission to figure out a way to teach this music that’s real, doable, and life-giving — not overwhelming.

It took years of breaking things down, re-learning, testing, and helping private students until something clicked:

A new way to learn boogie-woogie that unlocks real playing much faster — for everyone.

I call this way the "Mastery Method", and the program "Boogie Woogie Mastery"
