In this lesson we’re going to look at “A Rã” by João Donato, another simple but surprisingly intricate tune by this great composer.
In this lesson we continue to explore the triad improvisation principle over the major 251 progression and the major 2516 progression.
In this lesson we expand on the material covered in the previous video and look at the minor 251 and associated triad options.
In this course we explore the use of triads for melodic creativity and improvisation. This concept was taught to Jovino by his mentor Hermeto Pascoal.
This lesson provides an introduction to Jovino’s course where we explore Hermeto Pascoal’s unique approach to triad improvisation.
This play-a-long track is sung “freely” without a steady tempo. This exercise trains us to follow the lead of the singer and support the vocals.
Practice accompanying Lyndol on the tune “Autumn Leaves”. The track has 3 repeats giving you an opportunity to solo over the chord changes.
In addition to a full arrangement, we also cover the 4 bar introduction which is heard in the famous Nat King Cole recording of this tune.
We’re going to introduce an exercise that will not only get the 1625 changes in our hands, but make the notes clearer in our mind.
In this lesson we will create a solo piano arrangement of “What Is This Thing Called Love”, written by Cole Porter in 1929.
