1 "Waltz For Debby" - Vol. 1 I'll show you how to play the first 16-measures of Bill Evan's beautiful song Waltz For Debby. Using techniques right from Bill Evan's recordings, you'll learn some of the gorgeous piano chord movements that Bill and his trio used. After each section, I'll analyze what is going on so you can see how it all fits together. Future lessons will cover the rest of the song.

2 "Waltz For Debby" - Vol. 2 In part 2 we pick up where we left off in the song and breakdown some more Bill Evans concepts. In the chapter on scales in 3rds, an important Bill Evans technique, I show you how to practice and create scale-in-thirds exercises that will help with your harmonic fluidity. We will analyze what we are playing so that you not only know how to play the song...you also know WHAT you are playing.
