— When (and when not!) to play the melody.

— How to start and end the tune when working with vocalists.

— How to take a solo, and how to accompany a singer’s scat solo!

— How to transpose songs to find the right key for every voice.

— Exercises and drills to develop your ability to sing and play.

Jazz Standard Singing Tutorials

The theory and concepts are applied to the famous tunes "Autumn Leaves", and "Summertime". Learn to sing and play over these classic jazz standards.

A Unique Insight Into Vocal Accompaniment

Lyndol gives a rare and unique insight into the art of accompaniment from the perspective of both the singer and the jazz pianist. To create this course, we were specifically looking for a teacher who could sing and play jazz piano. Lyndol is a master at both of these arts.

Whether you sing and play yourself, or if you want to learn to accompany others, this step-by-step course is packed with actionable tips and insight to take you to the next level.
