Sweet Summer Rain, Educational Lead Sheet + Original Solo

Have you ever lingered on the back porch after a good, Summer rain? Listening to the pitter patter of the rain drops? And maybe you took the time to ponder things….maybe a sweet memory, as you watched the reflection of the rain in the puddles. “Sweet Summer Rain” gives you a chance to relive this moment as well as a chance to explore some improvisation of your own.

Written in the key of G Major but is true to original piece written in Gb Major. This piece uses common chords that most know. Included with the Original piece is “You Gotta Know the Score” gives you instruction on what to do with these chords and how to make the Lead Sheet version your own, a simplified Lead Sheet with chord symbols, 1 page of scale & chord information, 3 pages of notes & instructions for Left Hand pattern suggestions and Right Hand improvisation tips & suggestions. Syncopated rhythms at interest as well as Bell’s favorite use of flowing “10ths” patterns in the left hand and a few octaves add sparkle to the right hand.

This Studio License Use grants multiple copies in YOUR STUDIO ONLY. This original composition was specially written to be offered as a Studio License to allow teachers freedom to expose more students to Lead sheets and improvisation. Another benefit, being a slow piece, it allows more time to think between chords and what notes to choose next.
