The purpose of this lesson is to introduce the minor blues form and explore the differences to the standard 12 bar form.
In a minor 251, the 5 chord will be an altered dominant chord. In this lesson we apply altered dominant chords to the major 251 progression.
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 focus on enriching our right hand to add more sophistication and expression when playing the tune “Moon River”.
In this lesson we introduce the 6th and 7th chord tones to build upon the triad foundation and create more interesting melodic pathways.
In this lesson we introduce the tune Jingle Bells and explore the core pillars of the harmony before reharmonising and arranging the tune.
We will combine arpeggios runs and arpeggio patterns with chord tones and approach patterns that we have explored in the previous lessons.
In this lesson we will learn how to embellish the turnaround sections with extensions, echoing, inner voices, USTs, arpeggios, & Sus chords.
We start with the diatonic 7th chords found in the G Major scale and then discuss the different variations of the 251 progression.
