This is the first in a series of three tutorials in which I’m going to show you how to take a melody and chords in the form of a lead sheet and work them up into a series of progressively more advanced piano performances. In this first tutorial we’ll take a look at the lead sheet we’ll be working from and explore how to use it to create a simple piano performance using right hand melody and block chords in the left.
I’m working on the basis that you can read simple music in treble clef and can find basic chords on the piano keyboard. If you can, you should find this pretty straightforward and quite interesting, because I talk in detail about how to choose and use chord inversions, using the piano’s sustain pedal, fingering the melody for good legato and the way bass notes affect the sounds of difference chords.
