Lesson Plan:

TOPIC #1 : Solo Piano Exercises

Step #1: Practice 2-5-1 Split shells between thumbs and LH bass notes. Shoot for 120bpm 4 beats per chord. Repeat the 1 chord through all keys. Step #3: Add arpeggios and improvisation in places of your choice, and combine these elements for a complete arrangement.
Step #4: The arrangement should flow smoothly with minimal starting and stopping, and be an expression of your creative voice using the elements you’ve learned so far in the accelerator program.

TOPIC #2 - Solo Piano Integration

Step #2 – Play through “The Nearness of You” with split shells and bass notes. Step #3 – Add melody to above step
