<p id="isPasted">This is a triple dose of national pride as all three are considered to some extent to be our national anthem (and "My Country 'Tis of Thee" is the UK national anthem AKA "God Save the King").</p>
<p>All three courses feature new video (with live notation in the intro), updated PDF practice sessions, quizzes and assignments. </p>
<p>So get to work on these arrangements so you can set up your keyboard next to the pool and serenade your friends with the sound of richly reharmonized patriotic tunes!</p>
<p>If this repertoire isn't your thing, (or you don't sit around the piano playing holiday favorites in July like I do), there is a lot to be learned from watching how primary chord harmonizations are transformed into rich jazz progressions using the four techniques of reharmonization: seventh chords, functional substitution, cycle extension and "messing with dominant chords."</p>
<p>As always, I look forward to your feedback on this new content.</p>
