Jazz Standard Workshop: Arranging & Performing “The Song Is You”

You can play the melody. You know the chords. But how do you turn a lead sheet into a full, polished performance that sounds like YOU? This course takes you step-by-step from basic chord charts to creating your own unique jazz arrangements. You'll learn shell chords, rootless voicings, reharmonization techniques, and how to add professional intros and endings.

Perfect for pianists who want to move beyond just reading charts, build a repertoire of arranged standards, or sound more musical and intentional. Four lessons over eight weeks, each building on the last so you're never overwhelmed. By the end, you'll have a complete solo piano arrangement of "The Song Is You" and the skills to arrange any standard.
