| Challenge | Description | Solution from Sheet Music | |-----------|-------------|----------------------------| | | Boogie-woogie octaves and tenths at 120+ BPM | Simplify to walking fifths or use chord shells until speed builds | | Syncopated melody | Rhythms are often behind the beat | Listen to the track repeatedly; sheet music provides only a skeletal rhythm | | Improvised fills | Laurie fills every gap with blues licks | The official songbook includes written-out fills, but memorizing patterns is better | | Ensemble coordination | If playing with a band, the piano acts as both rhythm and lead | Use a conductor score or create a lead sheet for horns | georgia on my mind hugh laurie sheet music
