![]() In this piano lesson, you'll learn two variations of the major 2nd chord, their qualities and uses. This lesson will teach you how to add your own notes to create melodic ideas that will keep your playing fresh. Basically, you don't just want to play a bunch of chords in the right hand of every bar. To kick it off, we'll be looking at replacing some of your chord voicings with more melodic and interesting passing notes and runs. It may take awhile before you can apply all these principals at the same time, but soon you'll confidently create and improvise over simple 4 chord progressions in at least 6 to 8 keys. You'll now be familiar with your triads, their inversions, basic rhythm variations and learnt left hand techniques. You've built a solid chord foundation in the first 5 improvisation lessons but now it's time to add some passing notes, fills and runs. So by the end of this lesson, you'll have both hands and your right foot working together to produce a smooth, professional sound! Also included is a 4 page Worksheet with loads or detailed examples and exercises that will help you put together everything we've covered in the first 5 lessons. While you're coordinating both hands, there's an included video demonstrating proper use of the sustain pedal. We'll learn the left hand arpeggio, understand the effect it creates and how it works very well with the right hand dotted crotchet rhythm covered in Lesson 3. We're shifting our focus from the right hand to the left in this piano improvisation lesson. This lesson will start you on the right track and show you that learning something in every key is not as time consuming or tiring as may people believe it to be. This lesson demonstrates how to effectively and efficiently learn your major triads in all 12 keys. Understanding the different qualities of rhythms will allow you to choose the right one to create a desired effect, and by the end of this lesson, you'll have two simple, but useful rhythms available.ĭon't fall into the trap of learning your cool moves only in the easy keys. As a result, it's great for use when playing softer sections of a song, anywhere more space is required. The dotted rhythm with its larger spacing between chords sounds more relaxed than the straight rhythm. After this lesson, you'll be able to derive the 7 triads from the major scale which will definitely help in creating your own progressions, songs and your general understanding of improvisation concepts. We also discuss scale positions and the relationship between triads and the major scale. In this piano improvisation lesson, we look at a technique that takes the melody into account when choosing a chord inversion. We'll get you practising each triad in all three inversions which will form a foundation for the cooler chord modifications to come. Many people when learning their chords, only learn them in one inversion and wonder why everything they play sounds the same. Here I introduce Major and Minor Triads and teach you a simple technique to work out your triads in any key. ![]() The material covered in these video lessons are what I would normally teach a student over an entire year, but you can have all that goodness in 12 clear and simple lessons as outlined here. We then shift gears and get into the guts of this course, covering chord modifications and creating your own fillers. This set of piano improvisation lessons starts at a basic level with an introduction to your major and minor triads. A year's worth of guidelines in 12 lessons ![]()
