This music performance lesson explores how to bring piano accompaniments to life when you simply have a set of chords to read. When piano and other keyboard players read a melody from a lead sheet that is supplied with chords, the temptation is to play the melody in the right hand and to put down block chords in the left hand. The result is something that sounds accurate but is not very expressive or musically satisfying. In this video we explore how to use the given chords as the basis for figuration, arpeggiation etc, and how to spread notes effectively across the texture so there is not a huge gap between the melody and the chords, avoiding a thick clunky sound in the left hand. This video will provide ideas to explore and to develop a personal style that works for you. \n
