I have been enlightened learning music’s theory with its application to the structure of music composition which enabled me to play chords in different ways to melodies that I love. The “American Song Book” has been opened up to me I can improvise having learned the techniques as Tim has taught me. I am trying to develop the “Cocktail Piano” style of playing and Tim wrote lessons on that topic with an analytic approach to chord structure and how to break-down complicated patterns. I am happy to be a member of Piano Genius because I am beginning to feel like one.
