Play Christmas Songs

MEGA DISCOUNT CHRISTMAS  SPECIAL  –  2011

Last Christmas, I received such a fantastic response from my students about the Reharmonization Method 1 Course that many students asked if I would continue to develop more courses on Piano Reharmonization.  As a result, this year, I developed Reharmonization Method 2 – Power Chord Series for students to learn to play popular and movie songs.  More songs will be coming soon.

Since Reharmonization Method 1 is mainly Christmas Songs, I decided to provide a MEGA DISCOUNT CHRISTMAS SALES  for other students who are now ready to take their piano playing journey onto the next level. Some of you have requested for special bundle sales, and so I am providing the following 2 bundle sales for a special discount price for early bird Christmas sales.

You can now start practising these Christmas songs to play for Christmas.  You have 3 months to learn to play these songs for your Christmas family gatherings and enough time to make your own CD as Christmas presents for your friends. How wonderful! Don't forget to send me a copy.


Reharmonization Method 1 is suitable for Intermediate to Advanced Level of piano playing.

Reharmonization Study Kit No. 8

The Old Rugged Cross

Reharmonization Kit No. 8 The Old Rugged Cross11 ebooks Reharmonization Study Kit NO. 8  The Old Rugged Cross

 

Learn to creatively add harmonic runs and fills into your playing easily with 4T0 Handshape & 4T6 Handshape. You will learn to use 2 hands to put in harmonic color tones: 6ths, 7ths, 9ths. Ascending, Descending and Contrary motions are explored so that you can freely put them into all your favorite songs. These harmonic runs & fills are usually played slowly to fill up the empty measures and the long tones. When you learn to play in contrary motion, you learn to put in counter melody. Playing harmonic color chords is a big subject, so I will give you a basic foundation so that you can continue to explore and create your own harmonic runs and fills using the concept of polychords, chord inversions, 4T6 and 4T0 Handshapes. Once you understand the basic concept, you can build your own vocabulary of harmonic fills and licks in different contexts of songs. In this way, you don’t need to memorize licks & runs and freely create your own fills. The Old Rugged Cross is a slow song, so this is a perfect song to learn how to put in color chord harmonic runs and fills: Ascending Run, Descending Run, Contrary Motion, harmonic 10ths, harmonic 6ths, harmonic 7ths, harmonic 9ths & counter melody. Each video has one central focus. You will learn how to ‘think in harmonic tones’ when you practice each video separately. You’ll learn how to create great sounding harmonic sounds while playing chords not in root position, yet you can “think” in root position by making use of 4T6 technique, 4TO technique, mixing LH & RH polychord technique, playing in contrary motion.

Understanding Chord Progressions:

You will learn how to play by ear using the following chord progressions. The following are some chord progressions you will learn in this song:
