This course is much more than just an ebook. You also get::

Did you ever listen to a pianist or other musician playing a song that you knew but, somehow, it sounded very different and fresh. You can play tunes in many different ways by improvising. You can learn to improvise on an existing tune or from ground zero and make up everything as you play.

Being able to Improvise on the piano or another musical instrument is exciting. You're shaping and choreographing your own music and taking the listener on an emotional journey. Like any story (novel, play, movie, etc.), the listener experiences your thoughts and feelings through your music and - if done well - is enriched by the experience.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

I’m Terry Smith. As a private piano and voice teacher, I frequently teach improvisation to my students. In learning to improvise, you learn how music is shaped and about its structure. This makes for independent musicians. I feel so strongly about the importance of improvisation, that I’m now offering this expertise in a online package.
