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.
