Critically acclaimed jazz pianist, educator and author Tim Richards has produced numerous titles for Schott Music, including the best-selling two-volume Exploring Jazz Piano, Improvising Blues Piano and more recently Beginning Jazz Piano.  His Blues, Boogie and Gospel Collection and Jazz, Latin and Modern Collection contain collections of Tim Richards originals along with pieces by Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk and Jelly Roll Morton.  He is also co-author, with John Crawford, of Exploring Latin Piano and Brazilian Piano Collection.

"The real joy of Tim’s music… is that it is both hugely educational but also such great fun to play. Anyone with the slightest interest in learning to play or teach jazz piano should really acquire a set of Tim’s books.” – PIANODAO
