🎵 Play A Great Standard In One Month – Stella – Week 3

Over the past two weeks, we've been developing our approach to "Stella By Starlight" through voicings and chord melody.

Week 1 established our harmonic foundation, while Week 2 explored how to combine those voicings with the melody to create a complete arrangement.

This week, we're shifting our attention to improvisation.

👉 Finding clear melodic lines.

🎵 New Series Alert – Play A Great Standard In One Month!

We've spent the last two series taking a deep dive into two of the most important forms in jazz:

• Play A Great Blues In 3 Months
• Play A Great Rhythm Changes In 3 Months

Those 14-week series gave us plenty of time to develop comping, voicings, melodic vocabulary, substitutions, and improvisational concepts over forms that show up everywhere in jazz.

Now we're ready to move a little faster.
