About the course

If you have ever wanted to sit at a piano and play without any music, this is the course for you. I will teach you everything I know about improvising on the piano using the simplest of techniques. This course is a culmination of over 40 years experience playing the piano, having carved out a niche in improvisation. I will provide you with backing tracks to play with in a few different genres to keep it interesting. It would be good to have at least a basic knowledge of the keyboard in terms of notes, though I will keep it very basic and easy to follow.
