In this tutorial I look at how to use stuff from your store cupboard (like a jar of PB) to improve your piano playing, your chord and music theory knowledge and your overall musicianship. The basic idea involves taking bits of text from the jar and using it to write fragments of song, and in doing so explore some key musical ideas.
