Dreamy Piano Music<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dreamy Piano music is a quiet, elegant music that uses chords & harmony from jazz and classical music.\u00a0 This is the kind of music that is very relaxing and soothing for meditation or dining with family and beloved friends.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the choice of chords that you choose to create the nostalgic atmosphere with sweet sounds.<\/p>\n

When these chords are put together, it has a magical feel that is timeless and elegantly graceful.\u00a0 This kind of music brings hope and pleasure to our lives.\u00a0 After playing such music, one\u2019s spirit feels lifted up in the journey. The musical path is one of delight and joy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Silver Bells<\/h2>\n

Silver Bells is a very special Christmas Song.<\/strong>\u00a0 Even though the melody of Silver Bells is very plain.\u00a0 If you take a look at the music score of Silver Bells, you will be able to pick up some very unique features in this song.<\/p>\n

One of the unique feature of the song is the ‘accidental’ note<\/strong> that occurs in 2 places in Section A.\u00a0 Think of the accidental note as a ‘flat’ rather than a ‘sharp’.<\/p>\n

\"Silver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once you think of that note as a ‘flat’, you will be able to create a very smooth chromatic chord movement in that section to highlight the unique feature of this song.\u00a0\u00a0 And when you can figure out the great chromatic movement chord progression, you can put it into the Turn Around and in the Ending of the Song.<\/p>\n

Another very Unique Feature of the song<\/strong> is that there are many empty measures in Section B.\u00a0 Usually in empty measures, we can put in all kinds of runs and fills.<\/p>\n

For “Silver Bells”, I refrain from putting in just any kind of runs and fills.\u00a0\u00a0 We can certainly fill up those empty measures with ballad style of playing, and many of the runs and fills I presented to you in White Christmas.<\/p>\n

Silver Bells with its repeated melodic notes give us many opportunities to do Dreamy Echoes in the empty measures.\u00a0 When we hear bells, we want to hear echoes.\u00a0 I will demonstrate 8 Different kinds of dreamy echoes<\/strong> <\/span>for you to learn how you too can create your own dreamy echoes.\u00a0 You need to learn some improvisational skills.<\/p>\n
