One of my private piano students is learning to play the old standard, "I Could Write A Book." He asked me to make a video of me playing the song, to give him some ideas for melodic ornamentation, variation and improvisation. So this is what I came up with. The piano is my Yamaha Clavinova CLP-785. The bass and drums come from the app "iReal Pro."
