We arrange the blues tune in the key of F and we explore a wide range of common passing chords, substitutions, and reharmonisations.
We create a solo piano arrangement using just triads and 7th chords. This is a beautiful tune to share with your friends and family.
In addition to a full arrangement, we also cover the 4 bar introduction which is heard in the famous Nat King Cole recording of this tune.
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.
Widely quoted as one of Gershwin’s finest compositions, the harmony and melody is challenging with unusual changes and large leaps in the melody.
We explore ways that we can add variety by utilising the different registers of the piano. We’ll also add in some interesting chord reharmonisations.
This jazzy Christmas song tutorial is based on the chords and changes from the Bill Evans arrangement… check that out if you haven’t already!
In part 2 of this tutorial, we dive straight into the chord changes with two handed voicings and create an advanced ballad arrangement.
We start by playing through with left hand voicings and then talk in length about the 1625 progression and how you can use it to develop introductions.
We build upon what we have covered in the previous tutorials by introducing upper structure triads, sus chords and a stride style.
