Improvisation in music is the same thing as speaking a language.

Language is so important for us humans, because not only do we communicate and exchange ideas with each other, but also language is the way to communicate with ourselves too. Our thoughts and feelings are expressed with words and describe our state.

The same thing can happen with music language. When we improvise on the piano we play notes that come to our mind the same time we play them.

We use the knowledge we have in order to “speak” music.

A native language is of course completely automatic and it’s very easy to improvise, but music is a bit more more complicated because it’s not a speaking language , but played… We use our 10 fingers that are combined to a musical piece and at the same time we are thinking of the notes to play….

What we want to do during this course is this: I want to show you the way the music logic works in order to play music from our mind.

How we can read music and understand the way it works in order to take what we read a step further.

This is a very important step to make music a really valuable piece in our lives.

I’ll give you an example. You just read a very nice book and you were really excited! How many times can you read it and still be excited? Reading needs variety in order not to get bored.

But tell me, have you ever been bored of speaking?

Many students of music stop gradually playing music for the same reason. They can play only by reading, and at some point they get bored of playing the same things all the time. But what if we can read music and play different things? Or playing something without reading at all. Wouldn’t this be much more interesting?

So, Improvising on the Piano…

Some music theory knowledge is needed to follow this course, if you are completely novice , I would suggest you to follow my “Advanced Music Theory in Action” course…
