Inside Donna Lee:

Melody, Fingerings, and Bebop Flow

In this lesson, I’m walking you through the exact fingerings I use for Donna Lee — plus a few alternative options that might work better depending on your hand shape, technique, or feel.

There’s no single “right” way to play this head, but good fingerings can mean the difference between barely surviving and actually making music.

🎹 What’s inside:
✅ A detailed walkthrough of how I finger the head
✅ Why certain choices make the lines flow better
✅ Alternative options for tricky passages
✅ A few moments where I break my own rules

Let me know how these fingerings feel for you — and if you’ve come up with your own solutions, I’d love to hear them.

See you next week,
—J3
