What You Will Learn?

  • Welcome in this creative piano and improvisation class, which is the 2nd part of a larger course for learning to play piano in a creative way, through improvisation and composition from the very first piano lesson (in part 1)..
  • In this second part, you will discover the staff music notation and you will be guided, step by step, in playing with harmonies..

  • You have the opportunity to learn 9 piano pieces, illustrating the use of every notion taught in this course. They will help you to make progress in mastering the instrument and creating your own piano pieces with harmonies..
  • As your progress is based on practice, you can start by imitating and practicing the pieces, composed for this class and shown by the teacher. Then, you are invited to create your own improvisations or compositions..
