Missy Pete.

I'm Adam Madison.

You're listening to the You'll Hear at podcast.

Still going solo as Peter is out, tour in the world, as he's apt to do.

But digging the solo lessons, love having the lessons of the piano,

and it's an opportunity to get to just play some music and explain some things that we get asked a lot so uh on facebook a couple weeks ago i got asked about

this concept that we talked a lot about here at open studio jeffa keezer has lessons on it peter has

lessons on it it's the three zone concept at the piano and apologies to non pianists although

i think even non pianists you're

going to learn something that you could apply to your own piano playing which every uh musician should have a

little bit of um and this three zone concept can be really really useful when approaching uh playing

solo piano tunes I mean I even use it with with you, a rhythm section because I'm not scared to playing

roots with my rhythm section. And the idea is really simple. It's that we have an outer zone

with our left hand, which is usually the bass part. We have an outer zone with our right hand,

which is usually the melody part. You can think of it as the soprano part. And then our inner zones are a combination of our inner hands, you know, starting with the thumb

for both hands. They can play, be a part of the inner zone. And that's really covering the tenor range and the alto range,

if you're thinking about this in like that kind of SAT, TB format format and what this does is allows us to voice chords

under melody with roots to have bass movement to have inner voice movement and to have melodic content

on top and it really creates this this great sound so you know over a tune like i fall in love too easily
