Learn how to use the Quartet app for jazz piano practice. Play along with a virtual rhythm section and explore jazz standards in swing and ballad styles.
Explore improvisation over Beautiful Love with a focus on minor ii-V-I progressions. We’ll develop melodic ideas, target chord tones, and create flowing improvised lines.
In this lesson we bring together all of the core improvisation concepts covered so far in the Autumn Leaves improvisation course.
In this jazz piano improvisation lesson, we explore three minor 2-5-1 licks that can be used over the 251 in G minor in Autumn Leaves.
These 251s consolidate all of the previous concepts: chord tones, enclosures, approach patterns, arpeggios, & landing zone resolution phrases.
In this lesson, we explore landing zone resolution phrases that can be used on the major and minor 2-5-1 progressions in ‘Autumn Leaves’.
In this lesson we explore how to create longer improvised lines and phrases using arpeggio connectors and chord tone based material.
In this lesson we explore non-symmetrical enclosures and how they can be used to connect our melodies to the underlying harmony.
If your improvised lines feel disconnected from the chord changes, the issue not the scales you are using, but where your phrases resolve.
Before exploring enclosures, chord tones, arpeggios, licks, and lines, it’s vital to first memorize the melody, harmony, and form of the tune.
