Hayden’s 5-Minute Masterclasses
The “5 Minute Masterclass” is a series of short & concise tutorials. PianoGroove Teachers share tips & tricks that took us years to figure out.
In this series of short and concise tutorials, Hayden shares his knowledge of jazz harmony and tricks and tips when arranging for solo jazz piano.
Upper structure triads are complex altered dominant chord voicings that are widely used in solo jazz piano performance.
This type of passing chord is a dominant chord built a half step up. Dominant chords always have a strong pull to resolve a half step down.
We explore inner voice movement over major, minor, and dominant chords, and then we will apply this information to a well-known jazz standard.
In this lesson Hayden explored the altered tensions over dominant chords and how to resolve these tensions into the Imaj7 Chord.
An important point with sus chords is that we often resolve the suspended 4th to turn the chord into a regular dominant 7th voicing.
I’m going to cover a few ideas and concepts that will help you think of the piano as an orchestra and think of your solo jazz piano arrangements as an orchestration.
Using the well-know tune “In A Sentimental Mood” we'll explore the options available to harmonise step-wise melody lines.
