LEVEL 8 — Accompaniment Pattern

Now choose a style.

This is a major decision.

The same harmony can become:

Jazz ballad

sparse bass + extended RH voicings

Pop

add9/sus chords + rhythmic repetition

Waltz

bass-chord-chord

Classical

Alberti or arpeggiation

Blues

shuffle/boogie pattern

Bossa

bass pulse + syncopated RH

At this point the arrangement acquires stylistic identity.
