Just In Time For Valentine's Day...

"Here's How To Transform The Simple,
But Beautiful Love Song -
'My Funny Valentine' -
From Just A Melody Line And Chords
Into A Beautiful,
Professional Arrangement
On The Piano..."

Dear Piano Lover,

When you sit down at the piano, what do you play?

Do you just noodle around and try to improvise a little?

Are you a sight reader, as I was growing up? (I tell you, sheet music is a WHOLE lot more expensive today than it was when I was younger!)

Or do you thumb through a "fake book" looking for new tunes to play?

If you haven't discovered fake books yet, I URGE you to get one as soon as possible. The way I look at it, fake books are collections of the most efficient type of music that you can buy...

The lead sheet.

With just melody, chords and sometimes lyrics on 1 or 2 sheets of paper (sometimes just half a page), lead sheets have all the "key" information you need to play virtually any tune on the piano.

But What EXACTLY Should You Play
When Reading A Lead Sheet?!

There are plenty of piano methods, courses, lessons and techniques you could turn to.

In fact, my own video piano courses and guides have taught 1000's of piano players around the world how to improve their playing - from small improvements to major breakthroughs.

And even though my goal is always to provide fast, simple, effective piano tools you can use in all your playing...

And even though I do my best to give examples of the techniques I teach with every course, it's not often that I really DIG DEEP into a song and explain exactly how to build an arrangement from scratch.

And how to make a particular song just sound GOOD.

But that's about to change.

With Valentine's Day almost upon us, I don't know about you, but I'm starting to do a little date-night planning.

And one of the songs I always think of first this time of year is the classic tune from the 1937 Rodgers and Hart Musical "Babes in Arms" - "My Funny Valentine."

There are so many famous covers of this song, it's difficult to pick just one. However, Chet Baker's version is certainly near the top, in my book anyway.

I'll admit that it's kind of a strange song, with its underhanded compliments, generally positive and romantic lyrics, but somehow longing and sad chords. The character in the musical was named Val, but they changed his name for the song, allowing the female character Billie to sing it to him.

Regardless, the melody and chord progressions in the song are so great - it's almost like it was written to be a piano lesson!

And since it's usually played as a ballad, I think it's much easier to learn than faster songs.

That's why I thought  it would make a great piece for one of my "Lead Sheet Breakdowns," where I present an in-depth "dissection" of a lead sheet and really put the techniques I teach into practice, explaining every step in detail.

'My Funny Valentine'
Lead Sheet Breakdown

This time, I'm giving you 2 hours of over-my-shoulder videos discussing the chord voicings and substitutions, scales you can use for improvising, left hand technique, an introduction, endings, and a full arrangement.

I've created a number of substitutions and suggested voicings for the main chords, and I've even included an 8-page "music-less" piano chord chart showing the exact voicings I use in the videos, AND a visual scale chart, so you'll have ALL the pieces you need to recreate my arrangement of this great song for yourself.

Don’t Just Believe What I Say…
Check Out What Others Have Said…

Here’s what just a couple of my 1000's of students have said about my original “Professional Piano Chords for Everyday Pianists” course:

Read What One Frustrated, "Traditional" Student Has To Say After Using My Original, "Professional Piano Chords" Guide: Sir: Finding you on the internet was the greatest piano blessing that I have discovered. Purchasing your product is the BEST MUSICAL INVESTMENT that I have spent my money on in the last 3 years. And believe me... Over the past 3 years I have invested literally thousands of dollars in CD's, Tapes, Books, Music Lessons. Your program has simplified, what I have exhausted myself searching for. I am a disabled veteran, so I have much time to practice, study and research. I literally spend 4 to 5 hours a day practicing on my Yamaha Piano. For the past 2 years, I have spend $100 each month for music lessons from a very talented music director. Although he is an excellent instructor, (I could say musical genius) he sometimes teaches over my head. (And I consider myself to be intelligent). I have figured out in 3 hours of disecting your section on 13th Chords, what has bewildered me with his methodolgy of instruction. Dont get me wrong .. I have learned a great deal from him, but your program has regenerated my enthusiasm and has uplifted my spirits and given me great encouragement. I finally genuinly feel that there is light at the end of my tunnel. It all makes sense now. You have filled in the gaps, and I am able to do this at my pace. I thank you again, and would highly recommend your product to anyone that is serious about learning to play music on a keyboard or piano. Tony Willis US Army Veteran San Antonio, TX And Another Student Who Can Finally Play What He Only Just Heard Before: Dear Bill: Your guide to professional-sounding chords is nothing short of brilliant! I have been in bands semi-professionally for years as a singer-guitarist, and now in later years I have enjoyed playing piano around home as a hobby. Your informative guide is a terrific teaching tool, but perhaps your follow-up e-mails are even more "key", since they serve as further incentive for someone to pitch in and get this stuff learned. Your information, together with your follow-up program is the best I have seen in terms of communicating how music works, especially to those who are intimidated by notes, staffs, clefs, rests, etc. In my case, I have always been able to "hear" the chords I wanted - now that I have your book, I am able to play most of them as well. Thanks, Bill, for sharing this absolutely terrific knowledge. Richard Narrell

I wish someone had taken the time to do this for me when I was studying piano - putting together a complete arrangement with specific chord voicings and accompanying videos.

As it turns out, I had to create those arrangements on my own, which was VERY time consuming.
