Here’s some new jazzy Christmas lessons for us all to enjoy…
“Walking In A Winter Wonderland” - Solo Piano Tutorial
This is a solo ballad arrangement by myself. I’ve added this to our course on “Jazzy Christmas Classics”.
This is a lovely tune to get in the festive spirit. @toshihiro859997 thanks for your wonderful rendition of “Blue Christmas” and I hope you like this arrangement.

More festive tutorials to follow over the coming weeks.
The holiday season is here ! Your arrangement of the Winter Wonderland is beautiful. I enjoyed it. Also, in the lesson, I’ve found the followings very interesting and useful.
harmonizing the pick-up notes (Bb) with Bb13(sus4), when the melody note is root
creating of melodic embelishments over dominant chords using the Upper Structure triads, one for D7(b9#11) with major triad off #11 and another for C7(b9#5) with minor triad off b9
chord analysis for the first half of the bridge, which is 125161251 in the key of G major
The other half of the bridge also has similar chord progression of 1251625 in
the key of Bb major.
the 16251 ending, which is done beautifully. I will use it for my own arrangement.
Thank you for the wonderful lesson and arrangement. I wish that you have a happy holiday !!
