Advanced Piano Voicings for Cadences – mDecks Music
A practical lesson exploring advanced jazz piano voicings for cadences (II–V–I, secondary dominants, and extended dominants) with close attention to voice-leading and voicing choices.
This lesson demonstrates a range of four-note and upper-structure voicings for common cadential progressions (II–V–I, V-of-V, 2–5s, and extended dominant sequences), showing how to use guide tones, clusters, rootless/rooted options, and voice-leading to create coherent harmonic motion. Examples include voicings for minor II–V–I, half‑diminished chords, altered dominants, and voicing substitutions, with rhythmic displacement and top‑note choices explained. The lesson includes practice suggestions and references the downloadable PDF score and exercises in all keys so you can rehearse the progressions and internalize the voicings.
