More Information
A close look at the harmonic structure of the Harold Arlen standard, with many practical
applications. Discussion of the chord progression on both a micro level (how each chord leads to the next) and a big-picture level (how they all work together to form a coherent song). Suggestions are given for ways to mentally simplify the song’s structure, as well
as ways to embellish the chord changes. Students optionally improvise over the song
and are critiqued, with recommendations given for a direct path to improvement.
Prerequisites: facility on a melodic instrument or vocals, improvisational experience, and
knowledge of basic jazz harmony. Bring your instrument (optional).
