Understanding the relationship between relative major and minor keys is important for analysing the harmony and structure of jazz standards.

This lesson aims to illustrate the thought process behind choosing voicings and making real-time decisions when playing from lead sheets.

In this lesson we focus on the C section which introduces different harmony and melody and distinguishes it from the A and B sections.

After exploring the A section in our previous lesson, we now focus on the B section to solidify our knowledge of 2-handed spread voicings.

In this lesson we explore the key of Bb Major including the major scale, diatonic 7th chords, and 251 progression in the key of Bb.

In this lesson we arrange the A Section of the tune “My Foolish Heart” using triads, 7th chords, and 2-handed spread voicings.

We delve into fundamental music theory, focusing on the C Major scale and the chords that we can create using the notes of the scale.

This lesson departs from our previous focus on chord voicings and we now examine the key of the song and analyse the numerical harmony.

We will now play through the 2nd half of “Fly Me To The Moon” and create wider 2-handed spread voicings that incorporate lower bass notes.
