In this course, students will learn how to play piano in the style of "popular music"-the type of music you might hear while streaming. Students will learn the fundamentals of the style and practice "jamming" or creating their own melodies; they can also choose a specific song they would like to work on.

Improvisation is a fun, relaxed way to learn how to play the piano. Students will learn the major and pentatonic scales and how to improvise with those notes. They will start improvising right away! They will learn how to improvise with these notes using creative rhythms and various groupings. Depending on students needs and skills, they may learn different skills each lesson. 

Some examples of skills students may work on include: 
☆ Improvising with the major and pentatonic scales
☆ Suspensions
☆ Left hand patterns
☆ Inversions
☆ 2-hand coordination
☆ Chords and chord structures
☆ Increasingly complicated rhythmic structures
☆ Improvising with different intervals
☆ Various note groupings
☆ Trills and tremelos
☆ Root hand positions
☆ Scales
☆ Block and broken and chords
☆ Harmonizing
☆ Left Hand Shells
☆ Swing Rhythms
☆ Learning to read lead sheets
☆ Circle of 5ths

There are no prerequisites for the class, and no prior piano experience is required. However, many experienced pianists enjoy taking improvisation courses to improve their ear training and expand their repertoire. 

I believe that students learn best by doing. While I model all of the skills taught in the class, the majority of the class will be spent with the students experimenting in a safe environment and receiving instant feedback. Students will learn to improvise by improvising. 

I’ve had a really great experience learning how to improvise, and I’m excited to pass this on to you. I look forward to seeing you there!
