Welcome to the first part of Piano Improvisation: The Blues! In this one-time class, students will gain the tools they need to start improvising over the blues. They will learn: - The history of the blues - The 12 bar blues chord progression - Tips and tricks for accompanying other musicians over the blues Each class is catered to the group of students present. I always incorporate some one-on-one components into my classes by using breakout rooms so that I can meet every student's needs. This class is geared towards intermediate students with some knowledge of how to play chords on the piano. Students should have access to a piano or keyboard, as well as some prior experience with piano and music theory (message me if you have any questions about this!)
