In this lesson we explore the tune “My Funny Valentine”. We analyse the harmony and voicing options and discuss some simple but effective improvisation techniques.

Hayden – this was such a beautiful arrangement. I’m just catching up with it now after leaning the latest – ‘nearness of you’ seminar which was equally beautiful.
Is it also possible for you to do a seminar similar to these for the tune ‘Alfie’ Just a suggestion if it can be possible.
I love the way you seem to reharmonise them in your style – by adding stride and some Beegie styles that make it so enjoyable to learn and play. Love it 😀
Karl 🙏

Thanks Karl, I’m glad you enjoyed the seminar.
Yes I can absolutely cover “Alfie”. I printed off the lead sheet a few months ago but haven’t gotten around to exploring it yet. I will create a tutorial on it and then we can also cover it in a seminar.
More updates to follow.
Cheers,
Hayden
