Another experiment - this time, I took a jazz trio midi file that I had previously done, and annotated with text comments. Lots of students learn 'Autumn Leaves' as one of the first standards they play, so I thought that this might be a useful source of ideas. It is in the fake book key, and the chord symbols appear above the music.
This was imported into the Band in a Box program - this program will read these text 'markers', and it also has quite a flexible notation view. Note that in the notation view the bass and treble clefs don't accurately reflect the Left and Right hand parts. In addition, for those who can't easily sight read music, there is a very big and clear Piano view. I hope that some students might find this useful.
I have produced lots of other jazz midi files at http://home.wanadoo.nl/dougmckenzie/
that can be treated in a similar way. A much better quality video is at http:web.newsguy.com/dougmck
along with along with a PDF file of the Transcription and a leadsheet and the midi file if you want to try to do this yourself!
If you have a fast connection and want to see this in high quality video to see the notes clearly(and the audio in stereo), add the letters &fmt=18 straight after the existing internet address line above.

    Lovely playing! I am a pro piano player and I can still learn from you. I have always done this tune in Em. I am learning bass now and It is great version to jam along to. Gm makes more sense on the bass.
