How to Get JAZZED (Innovative) With Music!

 Gerald Simon fed us with a firehose at our Chapter meeting for November!!




Just like the publicity for our meeting stated, he showed us all kinds of tips in about 45 minutes!! So much to process and so inspiring!


Gerald has many resources (books) he has created over the years and he shared handouts from some of those books. I have several of his books and it was great to get reminded of some of these resources.










The Left Hand Patterns book has a wealth of resources in the first half, and THEN the second half has tons of easy "Lead Sheet" songs that even young beginners can start to use.   The Essential Piano Exercises book has some great things in it, too!  My brain can't grasp all that is possible...the book makes it much easier to not reinvent the wheel!

Here are the handouts Gerald gave us.  Have fun!!  And THANK YOU to Gerald for a great presentation!
