Jazz Standards Vol. 1

Learn Burt Bacarach’s beautiful song Alfie. In this lesson, I will break down the piano arrangement note-for-note. We will only be learning the song in the lesson, no improvisation. There will also be little explanation of how the arrangement was created. The goal is to just learn the song note for note. The skill level needed in order to play Alfie would be intermediate to professional level. It’s pretty intense with a lot of notes in it.

Learn how to fill out those one-chord-per-measure sections. We will create an arrangement and you will learn how to add chords and reharm to make a richer arrangement.

Learn the standard "My Funny Valentine." I explain all of the chords along with re-harmonization and scales for soloing.

In this lesson I tackle how to create an arrangement for the song The Nearness of You using my 4-step method to arrange standards. I also answered a bunch of questions from students since this was recorded as a Live lesson.

Learn my full arrangement of the beautiful standard When I Fall in Love. I’ll teach you the melody, chords and re-harmonizations note-for-note.
