As a classical piano player, having searched A LOT of jazz tutorials in youtube i can say that yours are the most in depth , useful , and not dumed out out there . Please keep up the good work !
Thank you so much.
She together with Kent Hewitt indeed
These were the shortest 26 minutes of my life. With a masterpiece, a super master class in just 26 minutes. Thank u Aimee, you are an amazing musician and teacher
I came across your video accidentally with autoplay on. Great sense of humor and of course excellent teaching method! I'm a teacher myself.
I play the guitar but I always watch your videos because I learn so much every time, thank you so much for the content
Yes. She has made me a better guitar player as well.
She just makes people better musicians, period. Every lesson is a practical theory exercise! One of the things that endlessly annoys me about so much guitar "instruction" video out there is that it's all "play this string at this fret" and often they don't even name the notes, much less explain WHY those notes. That's not even music, IMO, that's just rote. Aimee teaches MUSIC and not just the what, but the why as well, in both simple and super deep forms. Aimee talks about chords and keys and progressions and cadences and 2-5-1s and 3rds and 6ths, and we all end up the smarter for it!
Depending upon your level of musicianship and style of playing two other great CZcams channels are Jens Larsen and RicK Beato.
Yes you weren’t kidding I’m already sub to Jen L it’s great, I just checked out Rick B last night it’s Awesome. You know years ago how much $ would we be paying for all this musical knowledge theory & how to apply it, I try not to forget that and am always so appreciative of the fine musicians!
Thank you all for those comments. I’m so glad to help out and help you to see music for what it is...a lot of elements coming together to make something meaningful.
Damn AIMS.
MY dad was a bandleader. I grew up w this song. I have listened to your version at least 100 times. I will get out to see you live one of these days!! When I do - gonna BEG you to play it.
Love you! You’re the best maestro.
I just to know why it has taken me this long to meet you but all I know is the time is right! I just cant say enough of how much i love your teaching. Thank you so so much, I love your heart and approach to this teaching!
Thanks so much for that little term "pistol fingers"! So fun and a clever way to remember how to actually fill the space. I've been analyzing a Chicago pianist named Jeremy Khan and he plays so animatedly that it can get hard to keep up, but now I'll listen for the "pistol fingers" moments.
Also he sounds like he has pistol fingers in both hands.... Life goals...
Thanks Aimee. It’s an easy and kool way to approach to any Tune.
By the way…I’m putting it together also on Someday my Prince will come. Is the same concept!
yes finally ! i was searching for a tutorial like this for ever ...
even asked a lot of piano players in my city ,no one helped .
thanks alot
Woot woot! 🎉
Hi Aimee. I can't enough of your singing and playing Bluesette. WOW!!!
I’ve been struggling with getting an authentic jazz rhythm. Now I can see you do it with the right and left hand together (I imagine there’s a way to replicate it with the left hand only, eventually.)
Very clear explanation. Thank you!
I love how naturally playing solo comes for piano. Us guitarists can only try to emulate the way the two hands of a pianist interact by alternating comping and melodies.
Guitar is a great instrument as well, but so completely different. Standard notation just doesn’t fit it, etc. As a teenager, I wanted to learn guitar, thought piano wasn’t cool enough, but I eventually gravitated back to piano.
chord melody gutar guy hear, we can learn a lot from Aimee
This is a terrific tutorial Aimee. You are the best. Thank you very much.
Just wanted to come back to this and thank you for introducing me to bluesette. Definitely one of my all time favourite songs. I've now picked up chromatic harmonica and think toots is fire!!
Aimee, please make a studio version of Bluesette! Its so beautiful!
One of my favourite tunes
You've given me new ideas to combine my two hands in your example "Bluesette". There's rhythm in your 3/4!!!
Learned this song, but I wasn't small when I did. My piano teacher was a beautiful session musician who played with some well-known vocalists, and he always presumed I had more talent than I do, which was great for my ego, but didn't do much for the music. This lesson added a lot of animation to the rigid, stilted way I plod through this song, that love, too. I'm off to "relearn" it now. Took me a month the first time...be back in a month ;) Thanks so much for putting so much real musical value out there for us.
I feel like I just heard an angel sing, I'm hypnotized
Your have a beautiful voice!!!..I love this song!!!
just love this kind of lesson .. really don't think i could this anywhere else on the internet .. or from any book I've got. thanks
30 seconds in and already feel like this is the video I've always been waiting for
What a beautiful voice omg
You're such a great singer and pianist, i love your voice
thanks. one of my favorite jazz tunes. began jazz piano with your videos. sloooowly coming along. guitar and uke are where I'm coming from.
Your voice is ideally suited to sing jazz and you’re really good on keys too. 🔥
I like your explain things well you have a good sense of humor
I don't even have the words how this helped me, you really got me into jazz piano
You make things so simple thank you really really really much
Hoping you're staying safe
A new student of jazz
You are beautiful and excellent teacher. You are perfect.
You're the coolest (and best) jazz teacher I know! Someday I want to do as much good in the world as you do!
Beautiful demonstration and vocal. Count me in.
cool class, well explained! Had not heard the full version for years. cheers!
Love your videos. Keep it up!
Nicely done! and I like your singing too ): I sat 5 feet away from toots in NY circa...god knows how long ago that was. But I agree with you about the middle section and i wrote that section into a lead sheet for a septet in my final year of school 25 years ago!!!! Played trombone back then but taught myself piano and that is all I do now. You are def multi talented. great stuff
You are brilliant as a teacher, very engaging, easy to understand...truly a gift God gave you!
Thank you so much
I'm really appreciating this video. I'm still watching it bits at a time because I'm taking notes and practicing as I go. Nice nuggets of info on how to arrange different time signatures. I'm just at the 4/4 time now in the video. These types of tutorials is just what I'm looking for right now.
Thanks Rachel, for letting me know. Makes me happy!

Oh my gosh, Aimee, I'm trying so hard to figure out how to write piano parts for choral arrangements and I saw that video--it was wonderful!--but this helps too, SO much! I love your videos. Thank you so much!
So glad!!
I'd love more of these videos for solo jazz standards instead of comping!
Great video, sound and video just right. I only wish you had ended with playing the whole thing through without comments, just for the joy of hearing it. Thank you Aimee!
You have such a wonderful way of sharing music, Amy! I really dig your style and approach.
I think I am finally getting it. It's not about the instrument. It's about the music.
This is gold. A few years ago a teacher turned me on to Dave McKenna's "three handed" technique. I think that's sort of what she is describing....
Great info and performance!
One of my favorite songs. Great rendition. This is why I love music so much.
Wow! Great vocals jazz cat! I always enjoy your videos Aimee, and as a pianist and drummer of over 45 years I still learn something new every day.
My ethic is this; an amateur practices until they get it right, a professional practices until they never get it wrong.
Thanks again for your tutelage and dedication.
I thank god, that there is Aimee!
Me too
Love Toots. And this lesson.
Loved this Aimee! You've got two gold videos for me in one week! I love it when you take tunes and "parse" them out like this! Thanks so much!
Very helpful, as always. Thanks.
I liked that you spoke about and demonstrated some fingering details. It would be great if you could talk more about that in the future. It would help a lot of us who play by ear and haven't had many (or any) formal lessons covering good fingering. Sometimes we get stuck playing a part and our fingers ar just not in position to play what comes next. Perhaps you could talk about playing scales, triads in different inversions, 4 note chords, arpeggios, parallel 3rds or 6ths, using both hands for the same phrase or any other helpful tips.
Look at my Bebop Scale Fingering video, Iván
At 13 or 14 I was pulled into the jazz band run by my middle school concert band director to play bari sax. I started to attend his jazz gigs around town so that's where I 1st heard this tune. You weren't born yet I think. The light sophisticated swing of a jazz waltz with clearly defined modulation always sounded so cool literally. Enjoyed this. I have discovered I am in the minority but walking a waltz kinda defuses the sensibility of it to me like getting too heavy handed with a bossa.
Saw the title of this video and almost cried 😂 thank you so much
You are my queen thats it!! thanks!!!!
What a fantastic lesson! Thank you so much
Perfectly explained. Thanks a lot!
6:47 “You hear my wrist pop? That was amazing” hahaha
This video's intro is brilliantly succinct and relevant. I've become a quick fan of your teaching style and personality expressed through your music. Awesome job!
🙏🏼😍
25:10. Me too :) Either that or a m7 a 4th below. In this case, Cm7/F.
I think the reason it works is because it's got a "quartal vibe" to it. Same with the F in the melody over the Cm7 that you have near the end of the A section (bar 19). When you think of it Cm7/F is an inverted quartal chord : G-C-F-Bb-Eb. 4 stacked fourths.
I love your videos Aimee! I'm learning a ton of jazz off your channel and it's so great to get a real life lesson in a video. Such a pleasure to learn from!
You´re amazing Aimee.
Thank you! so much
YES AIMEE
This is wonderful Amy. Thank you.
Took a lot home today, good job and Thank you.
Ótima professora. I love it
Que Bello y Hermoso aporte al Jazz Dios Padre me dà a través tuyo Aime. Saludos desde Cochabamba Bolivia
Fascinating and again I'm in awe....thanks Amy
This is a great lesson for my level. Thanks Aimee.
Great lesson of pedagogy
Thank U Aimee, nice + “Smooooth” beautiful explanation!!! Thank U once again!!!
Lovely. One of my favs as well.
I really like Aimee. She is an excellemt teacher and an incredible musician but she says things as if we're expected to be able to play as effortlessly as she does. The truth is unless you have the underpinnings that she has all of this is an exercise in futility! She states that this lesson is geared towards advanced beginners. Wow, then I will never reach intermediate. It's interesting though because I understand a lot of what she says but she is thinking and playing on a level that is way beyond where I am. Despite all of the criticism I wish that I had her as a personal teacher!
I think that you should start with my playlist called, “how to accompany yourself. “It might be really helpful. I’m sorry you have felt frustrated.
Bravo! Das ist Wunderschön!
Thank you Aimee!!
my own findings with Bluesette are:I V II V to impose over the Bbmaj7, and to use II V + II V (Tritone ) for instance: instead of Am7b5 D7 : Am7b5 D7 Ebm7-Ab7(this clashes a bit with the melodie, so better during solo's) or at Cm7 F7 one bar Cm7 F7 next F#m7 B7, it gets more complex but also is nice edge to it and a realy two weeks off off the street to master it for me (two month piece in the street, and happy faces!)
this is exactly what i was looking for! you just keep making helpful videos one after another wow
I think I know this piece it sounds so familiar !! Thank you Ms. Nolte
Lovely 💖 Thank you got the information and your work!
Super! Very clever, wise, professional and positive lessons! Thanks much)))
Thanks Amy! Love this sound and your feel.
Lovable. Thank you Aimee.
Almost scary how she ropes you in from the very start :)
Aimee is awesome! thanks for sharing your excellent teaching method!
Very Good Aimee! you are not just playing it, but make it sound like music and like Yours! that's the way also the other day you played25 's that everybody wanna hear than you sang a Friend, and than I remembered that you answered my e-mails and I understood: Yes, you are a friend!
Wooowwwww!!! Great job!! Thank you very much!!
I will try it!
"Toots" Toosie. Lovely.
Great tutorial Aimee...thanks 👌
You voice is so lovely just touches my heart
Much appreciated Aimee, I like the method
great lesson Aimee! Thank you!
Thank you for an other great lesson! Nice new haircolor by the way. Have a marvels weekend.
Lol my hair is the same. Thanks tho, Bruno!
A thousand thanks for your explain
Tank you Aimee !, i’m learning english, i’m learning jazz piano, i’m learning jazz vocal, whis you. I’m from Paris and i was looking for a coach vocal. Now, i find !!! I was a classical professionnal pianist. Really, thanks for your all videos.
I love the edits in this video. Thanks for that.
Took a long time. Thank you. :)
How about some gear lust. Check out how David Walliman (a guitar teacher) has set up his recording rig. czcams.com/video/uBbmhuxglIU/video.html
He claims it has cut his editing time by 70%. So he can spend more time on the material being presented.
BTW I am a guitarist and still I benefit from your lessons a lot.
Boy that’s cool. What a great set up! It’d set me back some serious $ but it would be so nice! Good to know about it. Thanks!
That's awesome! Thank you for sharing this video.
This song was one of my requests during your last Live Stream. Cool! 😎
Thanks Aimee! Perfect tune to learn on a sunday ... wish me luck :P
i can't explain you made me cry
My girlfriend swears I have a crush on you... Lol Your content is amazing! She doesn't understand how much I've learned from you; best on CZcams. Thank you from Baltimore
Great song. Curious: there is a lot of editing I notice. I wonder how many hours are devoted to produce 27 minutes? Hard work I bet!
BEAUTIFUL VOICE !! GO FOR IT !!
Nice! Thanks, Aimee.
This is sooo great! thank you
Aimee, this was a great video. Hope you do one like it in every type of jazz....bebop, bossa nova, ballad, swing and then do more of those lol. Thanks for this!
Thank you, very helpful!
This is such a wonderful approach to teaching!
