More Information
This workshop delves deeply into one of the most widely played of all the jazz standards, a classic by Harry Warren. We examine the song’s harmony in ways that will help us improvise over it, discussing 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 a variety of neat harmonic tricks to embellish to the chord changes. Students are given the chance to improvise over the song and are critiqued and given recommendations for
improvement.
Prerequisites: facility on a melodic instrument or vocals. Knowledge of basic harmony, including major, minor and mixolydian scales. Suggested: some familiarity with “There Will Never
Be Another You,” and with altered and half-diminished chords. Bring your instrument
(optional).
