In this Jazz Piano online course I will bring you from the level of a complete jazz beginner up to the level of an intermediate/advanced pianist. We will talk about both theory and applications, and cover concepts ranging from chords and scales, to diatonic harmony, voicings, substitutions, soloing, tensions, and much more. Course playlist:
• Jazz Piano for Complet...
In the sixth lesson we will extend the ideas of functional harmony to minor scales. There are lots of minor scales, and we will look at all of them, and figure out which degrees play a tonic role, which play a subdominant, and which play a dominant role (and which don't really play any role at all!). I will then show you how it is actually possible to mix-and-match tonics, subdominants and dominants from all minor scales and still get a good sounding progression! Finally, I will analyze a well known minor jazz standard, Black Orpheus, and show you how functional harmony pretty much explains 95% of its structure. We're already starting to make sense out of jazz harmony using just the relatively simple tools at our disposal!
