Topic #2 - Solo Piano Integration

#5 – Create a minimum of 4 note voicing or 5 everytime underneath RH to harmonize and on every comping chord. Utilize different extensions you’ve been working on.
#6 – Try to integrate Sus chords

Topic #3 - Improvisation

#8 – RH Alone – Skips – Root position chords and 3,5,7,9. Going up or down. Integrate skip patterns into steps
#9 – RH Alone – Think less now, utilize rhythm and different ways to play one note. Think motifs and patterns rather than moving about. See if you can connect chords with less movement and less notes by using voiceleading.
#10 – Add in LH with RH using Ireal pro over All the Things You Are.
