Lesson Plan:

Topic: Solo Piano Style

Step 1: Practice LH approach using “broken stride” method. Reach down for bass notes, reach up to grab a combination of rootless/rooted chords. Start by playing downbeats every 2 measures for more variety.
Step 2: Play 1-2 choruses of RH improvisation with NO LH accompaniment. RH Only. Option to use playalong or metronome q = 120-150
Step 3: Put these elements together, creating a recording of 1 chorus LH by itself, 1-2 chorus RH improvisation, and 1 chorus melody to finish.
