Lesson Plan:

Solo Piano Style

Step 1: Practice “Just Friends” Advanced solo piano Arrangement.
Step 2: Using these voicings and a combination of your own voicing decisions, play the melody to “Just Friends” with two handed voicings.
Step 3: Use minimal pedal to streamline your statement of the melody. Sustain the melody in RH while playing more staccato accents in LH.
Step 4: Practice improvising using LH shell voicings and RH rhythmic focused ideas. Minimal pedaling will allow your RH to have more definition and a stronger pulse.
