Voicings + fills

This session explores the first four measures of My Romance — not as a “course,” but as a real, musical look at how a pianist shapes a short moment.

You’ll see how voicings, spacing, dynamics, and small decisions can transform a simple opening into something that feels finished — even when you’re only working with a few measures.

“Dave, your video lesson My Romance is probably the best lesson I have ever had… I love the way you approached it, using different ways to tackle the first four bars. I kept saying, ‘Ya, Dave, show us more ways.’ And you do come up with more ways.” — Ming (Michigan, USA)
