Welcome to "Just Standards," a new iteration of my popular Standards by the Dozen™ series. This is a great class to take if you're a beginner who wants to learn jazz standards.
Just Standards
Just Standards was a weekly 30–60 minute solo-piano class focused on building full song arrangements a few measures at a time. Over 4–6 weeks per tune, students created complete cocktail-style arrangements while learning shells, fuller textures, improvisation (TCI), and reharmonization. The first songs covered included “Cry Me a River,” “Send In the Clowns,” “Autumn in New York,” “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “Dream a Little Dream of Me,” and “My Way.” The class offered material suitable for both beginner and advanced players.
