In this lesson we will learn how to embellish the turnaround sections with extensions, echoing, inner voices, USTs, arpeggios, & Sus chords.
Learn to target the b9 chord alteration over the V7 with a descending inner voice. We apply to tunes and then drill around all 12 keys.

In this lesson we broaden the harmony of the 145 progression by introducing alternate chord changes, reharms, and passing chords.
In this lesson we create a beginner-focused arrangement of the tune “Pure Imagination” from Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.
In this lesson we explore some simple Bossa Nova and Samba grooves over the 251 progression and 2516 progression in the key of G Minor
When we play a minor 251 progression, the 5th, the 13th and 9th will usually be altered by moving them either up or down a half step.
In this lesson we’re going to create a solo piano arrangement of the song “I Loves You, Porgy”, written by George and Ira Gershwin.
