Giant Steps by John Coltrane has always been considered as a difficult tune for jazz pianists to understand learn and play. Of course adding to the complexity is that the tune is usually played very fast. I think what we really need is a simple step-by-step approach to studying this tune . . . then developing the tune into our subconscious. Once this tune is totally subconscious we should be able to freely improvise on it.This lesson on Learning Giant Steps contains four videos downloadable PDFs graphics of examples and text. Video #4 contains backup tracks for your practice.  You can practice soloing over Giant Steps in different styles and tempos.  Have fun learning Giant Steps.

It is universal.  All jazz pianists want to freely play in all keys.  The problem is that each new key appears to us as a “new world”.  The look is different and the fingerings are different.  The one constant which is the same in all keys is . . . . the numbers.  Therefore in order for us to be “free” in all keys we must think in numbers.  It’s a “numbers language”.  Once this is accomplished then the only next step is to analyze each tune by the numbers.  It takes preparation and training.  But . . . it is very doable . . . especially if you learn step-by-step.

You may know me from my many jazz improv courses. What you don’t know is that for many years I have been musical director and performed at many churches. This has given me the opportunity to improvise hymn-like songs for preludes meditations offerings etc.

Actually creating your own hymns is not difficult. However it does require some fundamental music skills. In this course I have provided you with a step-by-step development of these required skills. All you need to do is practice each step over-and over until it is deeply ingrained in the subconscious. Once these skills are flowing then you can either create your own hymns or improvise on existing hymns.

It’s really fun. Let’s get started.
