In this video I explain why this is so beneficial and how I do it myself. For this purpose I included my spontaneous and unprepared performance of the famous evergreen AS TIME GOES BY. I picked this song specifically because I h...
Slash and Poply Chords Teaser For Pop-Jazz Pianists

Understanding those chord structures also helps with arranging and improvisations utilizing arpeggios and broken chords. #Slash Chords, #Upper Structure...

    Hello dear, I just discovered your channel and what you do is really very good, thank you for it. You know, I wanted to ask you: How to replace the chords in tenths (eg: Eb g) for those of us who do not reach that type of tenths (Db - Eb - Bb - D - A). Thank you so much!

    • @musictrainingonline
      @musictrainingonline 9 месяцев назад

      Very good questing about the 10ths in the left hand. I saw pianists with very small hands play them by using a combination pf rolling them up from the low to the high note while pressing the sustain pedal. Ind fact, this is an effect that some pianists with big hands even use to simulate a guitar strumming effect. I think I will do a video on this. Thanks for asking!

      Funny! My hands are actually quite normal in size for a guy who is close to 2 meters tall🤓. But this arrangement can easily be performed by someone with small hands. Several of my younger students did so without their small hands being an issue. I actually found that smaller hands can also be an advantage in piano playing. Bach and Chopin both had small hands, and they did ok🤪. CHEERS!
