Thanks Jovino,
I really enjoyed your seminar on Chord Substitutions and Reharmonization. You have a great approach to teaching this lesson which was applied on this seminar: use your intuitive playing ear by using the skills and knowledge base within. It helps me to open up my playing style as I do find myself being redundant in many improvisations. Of course as an early beginner, practicing chord structures must be a solid foundation.
I really enjoyed your new tribute tune. I found it very special that you shared this piece of music with us at it’s early moments in time.
All the best,
Maria Traylor

Hello Maria,
Thanks for your kind words. Yes, you described it well. An intuitive library of chord voicings plus a melodic approach to improvisation will be your greatest assets to build in your practice.
In the near future we’ll do a seminar devoted to melodic creativity stemming from the the chord voicings. Stay tuned!
All the best,
Jovino

Jovino, you are a TEACHER. Many who are great pianists can’t teach. Teaching is an art. I’ve learned how to get away from linear playing. Thanks a million!
