(Educational Piano). Have fun learning improvisation with simple
explanations and examples. This method encourages student creativity by
providing ideas for composing and musical expression. Chord dexterity
and ear training are developed with focused keyboard exercises. Students
will develop accompaniment improvising from standard chord symbols using
root position and inversions. Learning is reinforced by writing the
notes for the chords and accompaniment patterns on workbook-style pages.
Familiar folk songs and hymns are used to illustrate the accompaniment
styles.
