In this class we will be working through both Jazz and Pop/Rock standards using a systematic approach. Each standard is broken down into sections and you get to see me create the arrangement live. This is a great way to "get in my head" to see how I create my arrangements. Each standard will take about 2-3 sessions to complete. We complement each standard with The Confident Improviser™ improvisation lessons so you not only learn how to play the song...but also improvise over it.
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.
