If you have problems remembering how to play simple triad chords (C major, F minor, Bb major, etc) on the piano, then I have a great exercise for you based on the circle of fourths/fifths to help you memorize those chords and train your playing! Basically, it involves playing the chords throughout the circle: C to F, F to Bb, Bb to Eb and so forth. This will also help you practice your inversions.
If you need a refresher on how to build triads (major and minor chords mostly), please visit my Piano Quickie series to get you started. Here’s a link to the playlist:

If you love boogie woogie and want to start playing it, this is probably the easiest starting point you’re going to get. This is actually ‘Boogie No. 1’ from a great book – ‘The Joy of Boogie and Blues’. You can grab a copy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/shop/escapetheboxpiano (or Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/escapetheboxpiano)
Even very easy boogie woogie has got some complexity to it so if you’re a complete beginner on piano or keyboard, it might be a good idea to put in the hours on some other exercises and music to get your chops up.
NB you can listen to a play-through at 11:48 on this video.

In this lesson we are going to arrange the tune “The Nearness Of You” using simple voicings containing the roots, 3rds, and 7ths.
“The Nearness Of You” is a true jazz classic and is a staple part of the jazz piano repertoire.
The Form & Harmony
The tune follows an AABA form which means that almost 75% of the tune contains the exact same chords and voicings.
The final A section does have a 4 bar extensions and so that’s an important point to remember.
The tune contains lots of common progressions including major 251s, minor 251s, and also 3625 turnarounds which can be voiced in many ways.

It’s been 1 year this month since I started learning piano and it’s been an amazing and somewhat life changing experience! You may think life changing is a little over the top… but for me it really is true, as this September I will become a full-time music student at University and I’m beyond excited for that!
I decided to make my own 1 year progress video, after watching so many myself before finally committing to purchasing my own digital piano. Who knows, maybe if it wasn’t for those videos I wouldn’t have ever taken that first step, which is crazy to think looking back now! That’s why I decided it was important for me to record these clips and make a video, in hopes of motivating someone else to take up an instrument, giving it there all and seeing where they can go with it too.
Up until month 8 I used Jane’s piano tutorials to learn 99% of the music I learnt. She is a retired math teacher and dedicates her free time to playing through requested pieces by viewers every single day! Mostly all classical pieces have a tutorial and many popular video game, anime, TV shows and movie compositions can be found on her channel. If you really want to learn but can’t afford a teacher, I think this would be your best option.
Jane’s channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCidvz_O5zdX7z2mr4zkeL2g

This is such a cool jazz lick! You can play it over any minor chord and it has a very jazzy sound. It uses chromatic runs, approach patterns, arpeggios and triplets. I take you through it bit by bit and also show you the notation.
I advise transposing it to several keys in order to internalize it so you can use it in your own playing. I go through it in C minor, G minor and D minor – but you should continue round the circle of fifths and work it out in all 12 keys!
