Who Can I Turn To…
January 9th, 2008(When Nobody Needs Me)… I love this song, and have been practicing this one today in E flat Major. Ironic that the song kind of spells out my piano career right now. I need a good piano gig so I can feel appreciated, anyone in need of a solo pianist for a few hours?
Anyway, the chord changes in this song are really nice. I’m exploring the possibilities embellishing with various extensions, augmented and dimished chords.
The following songs I’ve really been focusing on today, exploring those possibilities as far as voicings go:
1. Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me) - Eb Major
2. I’ve Grown Accustomed To Her Face - C Major
3. But Not For Me - C Major
4. It Might As Well Be Spring - F Major
5. I Wish You Love - Eb minor
6. Someday My Prince Will Come - F Major and Bb Major
I don’t know…
There is a big, big difference between someone who loves to play piano and plays for his/herself at home… and a pianist who is out there performing a lot. Realistically, my goal is to seriously “woodshed” for 6 months and by the end of 6 months time I hope to be playing regularly at a few places.
We’ll see how it goes… but, I always enjoy playing for myself and just getting lost in my musical journeys.
