A focused 10-minute guided practice routine that trains ear recognition, voicings, and scale choices over minor ii–V progressions.
This short, practical session walks you through a daily routine for practicing ear training, shell and rootless voicings, and scale applications over two–five–one progressions in minor keys (example: F minor). It covers Locrian, Mixolydian b9/b13, altered, and symmetric diminished approaches, plus strategies for targeting tensions and testing voicings in context. You’ll also practice consecutive ii–V’s around the circle of fifths and experiment with inversions and voicing placements to develop both ears and hands. Ideal for jazz pianists looking for a compact, repeatable practice block to improve harmony and color-tone recognition.
