In this lesson we will be learning a quintessential jazz standard by one of the most famous musicians in jazz - 'Round Midnight by Thelonious Monk. We'll be examining a very specific solo piano recording by Thelonious Monk himself and learning a modified transcription of the piece. This lesson will demonstrate how Monk himself uses chord shells extensively in his left hand, his use of stride, and his use of chord tones to improvise and embellish the melody.
Standards by the Dozen™
In this course, you'll learn a new standard every month. Each standard will be broken down into both simple and advanced arrangements so this course is great for players of all levels. You'll learn how to create both a solo and group arrangement while also learning two-handed comping and improvisation.
