Rachmaninoff Reborn: Lead Sheet Lesson (Great For Smaller Hands)

[@JoeLinux2000]

This is extremely well done. This is what piano lessons should actually be about. I can see and octave is big stretch for you.

[@DebbieDenkeMusic]

Thank you Joe!🎹Glad you enjoyed the tutorial. Yes an octave is about as far as I can stretch.

Ahh, thanks so much Tony! 🎹

I'm playing and improvising over my leadsheet pretty straight (more in a "classical style" and not as my usual jazz persona) by using Rachmaninoff's original harmony. Although the composer created not only a gorgeous melody & bass line, he wrote chords such as Major 7ths, V7b9, sus4s, Minor 9ths into his work!

Love you honey Debbie

[@Robert_A_Keyboards4948]

Fascinating! I thought you were a straight jazz artist! You do it all!

[@DebbieDenkeMusic]

Every now and then I go back to my classical roots, thanks Robert!

[@robertcollins7196]

Wow! Great idea for jazz pianists at a gig where some “sophisticated” guest comes up and asks for classical music 😉 You should make a collection of lead sheets following this idea. 👍🏻

[@DebbieDenkeMusic]

Absolutely, thanks!! 🎶🎹
