Easy Piano - 'My Funny Valentine' - 3 Versions & Scores

[jimokeefe]

One of my favorite songs and have been wanting to play it for a long time. I've been working on the intermediate version of your arrangement and enjoying the sound of your spread voicings. You are a fine teacher and arranger. Thank you.

Hi Kent.  You are inspirational and you make me want to get back to the keyboard as quickly as I can.   A new lease of life for me as I'm picking up my piano lessons, which I gave up at the age of 10, and now I'm 80!.  I'm determined to master the easy version. Many thanks

I must say you put a new fire in my life, I've always had an ear, just never knew the technical aspects of the piano. Thank you so much, you have many great ideas but you have no idea how much of a blessing you are to us. God bless you

Particularly appreciated the last version 3... beautiful Kent. Thanks for sharing. :)

This is really helpful. I took classical piano lessons for quite a while (about 20 years straight) but never learned how to properly improvise or really develop my ear, and instead just followed sheet music which I then forgot when moving onto another piece. These videos are helping me to develop those missing skills, although it feels like a long road ahead before I can "jam".

Many thanks Kent for another great lesson. You really are a generous man sharing you knowledge. Brian, also from the UK.

Thanks for this great demonstration of a great standard. As a guitar player who is trying to learn the piano these types of demos are invaluable. I've played guitar for years and listened to "straight ahead" jazz for years and now I'm trying to actually understand the theory behind what I've been listening to for all these years. Having your explanations of what you are doing as well as the song itself is so informative. It's like a chef showing you how to cook a dish instead of just handing you a piece of paper with a recipe on it. It still amazes me that people like you are willing to take the time to share what seems like your rich knowledge of jazz. I think that must come from a true love of the music. Excellent video.

That last arrangement was beautiful! I love your lessons Kent, thank you from Italy!

Thank you Kent. Getting back into piano after 25 years and enjoying all your videos. I got your book.

[kevinsykes]

Love your playing Kent, and generosity with your knowledge. Been working on the intermediate version.. I guess it’ll now have to be 2022 for the unveiling! Thanks for sharing.

[iamsumware]

Thank you so so much for your lesson! I would just say that from around 13.00 you go very fast through the chords and use terminology beginners may not get. None the less I followed your hands through pausing and got it. Thanks again!

[fnacol]

Explained so very well. Very important details mentioned such as playing with feel as opposed to robotic. Including melodic and harmonic details explained so clearly. Thanks a million, and wishing you absolute best! Thank you for the person and mentor you are.
