My favorite Tip for Jazz Pianists How To Get Better
Переглядів 4602 місяці тому
The No 1 tip I give my jazz piano students - especially the more advanced once - when they ask how to get better is that they should video record themselves frequently. In this video I explain why this is so beneficial and how I do it myself. For this purpose I included my spontaneous and unprepared performance of the famous evergreen AS TIME GOES BY. I picked this song specifically because I h...
Slash and Poply Chords Teaser For Pop-Jazz Pianists
Переглядів 2252 місяці тому
Slash Chords and Poly Chords are arguable the most powerful tool for contemporary pianists and keyboardists when it comes to harmonization. Upper Structure Chords help create incredibly rich sounding harmony while being relatively easy to play. Understanding those chord structures also helps with arranging and improvisations utilizing arpeggios and broken chords. #Slash Chords, #Upper Structure...

    It's possible. When played fast, the run works with many other chords (especially those with many black keys) because it is so close to the chromatic scale. The first and last notes are important; they give the run credibility. I sometimes change the thumb notes from F to E or C to B to make it work with a chord other than those I used in this video. I suggest you experiment with that and let your ear be the judge.

      Very good questing about the 10ths in the left hand. I saw pianists with very small hands play them by using a combination pf rolling them up from the low to the high note while pressing the sustain pedal. Ind fact, this is an effect that some pianists with big hands even use to simulate a guitar strumming effect. I think I will do a video on this. Thanks for asking!

      Funny! My hands are actually quite normal in size for a guy who is close to 2 meters tall🤓. But this arrangement can easily be performed by someone with small hands. Several of my younger students did so without their small hands being an issue. I actually found that smaller hands can also be an advantage in piano playing. Bach and Chopin both had small hands, and they did ok🤪. CHEERS!
