    This lesson is tailored for those new to jazz piano, particularly those transitioning from a classical background. Unlike classical music, jazz lead sheets typically feature only a treble clef. This format emphasizes melody and chord symbols and gives musicians creative freedom when arranging and playing from jazz standards.
    Layout & Format Of The Lead Sheet
    In this course, we start by exploring the layout and format of lead sheets. You’ll learn how to interpret the melody and harmony, beginning with the first 8 bars of “Moon River”.
    Triads, 7th Chords, & Spread Voicings
    You’ll learn to play basic triads and understand their role in jazz harmony. We’ll examine the harmony of “Moon River”, highlighting how most chords are derived from the C major scale. This is important for understanding the harmonic structure of the tune.
    3- Note Spread Voicings
    This approach focuses on playing the root in our left hand, the melody in our right hand, and the third and seventh of the chord somewhere in between. This lesson will guide you through various voicing options, helping you to develop an intuitive understanding of chord structures.

      Wonderful - thanks for your feedback!
      It's been a while since I posted some beginner-focused material and so I'm very glad to hear it's useful.
      When we are just starting out with jazz piano, it takes a little time to become accustomed to the '3-note spread voicing technique' (chapter 3) where we voice the chord tones over both hands. This really is the foundation for playing from lead sheets so be patient and diligent with this. Spend just 10 or 15 mins practice time each day on this technique, and in the space of a few weeks you will be much more comfortable and confident with harmonising lead sheets.
      I recommend to study the first 8 bars for the moment to laser focus your practice time, and most importantly 'dip your toes' into the more advanced voicings covered in the final chapter just to get a taste for what lies ahead in your jazz piano journey.
      Enjoy and talk soon!

      Still, you gave beginners a lot. I wish CZcams was around when I started. 😂
