Do you feel trapped and short of breath when you try to improvise? Even when you THINK about improvising? Maybe? One day?

Learning how to improvise on the piano can open up worlds for you, both as a musician and a person. The ability to express yourself in the moment on a musical instrument is immensely satisfying, and can have significant cognitive and emotional benefits. It’s also really fun, and much easier than most people think!

In our first course we take you through the first steps towards basic improvisation in the blues. The blues offers both the freedom and the structure to make you sound good to yourself and others. It’s rule based and still offers endless choices and variety.

Our method takes advantage of the design of the piano to help you achieve quick mastery. You’ll sound and feel good from the very beginning, even while you continue to improve in your knowledge and skills with every step. You might be amazed at the quality of music you’ll hear coming from your fingers with the most basic knowledge.

If you already play piano, you’ll learn this method quickly, and you may want to move onto our second course, Piano Security. If you’re a complete beginner, you’ll find the steps to learning are very approachable, and have been designed to ease your way while empowering you.This is our teacher edition, with extra information about our method, as well as the opportunity to earn a certification. If you’re a piano teacher who wants to teach improvisation, or you’ve always wanted to learn it yourself, this is the course for you! Piano Freedom will change the way you think about improvisation, whether you’re an expert or a complete beginner.
