In this lesson we arrange the A Section of the tune “My Foolish Heart” using triads, 7th chords, and 2-handed spread voicings.
We explore paths and gateways to unlock creative reharmonisation. Learn how to breathe new life into well-known melodies by altering their harmonic landscapes.
A Zoom workshop on reharmonising “Heart and Soul”. We explore simple dominant applications to more complex subjects such as modal reharms and ‘Coltrane Cycle’.
We arrange the classic Beatles’ tune “Here There & Everywhere” to explore principles and techniques for reharmonisation.
We explore the classic Brazilian tune ‘Corcovado’ in a style suitable for both beginner jazz pianists and those new to the Brazilian style.
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.
In this lesson we highlight the importance of identifying and recognising 2-5-1 progressions which are the cornerstone of jazz harmony.
