A Creative Approach to Standards pt.1: Someday My Prince Will Come

In this class, John and Jamie use the familiar chord progression to "Someday My Prince Will Come" to explore the modes of the melodic and harmonic minor. There are specific references to these modes as they apply to altered dominant chords, and tonic diminished as Lydian #9 harmonies. There are also references to triads and right hand technique in John and Jamie's discussion. The harmony covered has broader applications beyond this one song, as portions of the progression occur in many other standards. A PDF of the tune is provided with the class.
