"Blue Moon" in easy 2+2 chord arrangement
on: August 29, 2024, 03:14:43 AM
I've arranged "Blue Moon" for educational use for solo piano using my 2+2 basic chord arranging method.
"2+2 chord arranging" means each hand plays two specific notes following a few simple rules that create balanced voicings while keeping fingerings and hand positioning simple. I recommend learning 2+2 voicing first, as it provides a solid foundation from which everything else can be extrapolated.
