Interpreting a Lead Sheet with Style - Music Performance

How to play from a lead sheet and inject some musical style into the accompaniment. This music performance lesson begins with some key reminders about reading from a lead sheet and then demonstrates a basic reading, presenting the melody in the right hand and the chords in the left hand. Having discovered the shortcomings of this approach the video explains how to organise the chords in a more satisfying way then explores options for distribution of the rhythm and texture in ways that bring out the character of the song. The video ends with a more sophisticated performance. Useful for anyone wanting to achieve a really satisfying interpretation of a lead sheet.
