First Lessons in Piano Improv

Whether the goal is to be a classical or a jazz performer, improvisation is a deep, intense way to learn the rules of music. Good improvisers become native speakers of musical language and not just readers of notes. This book is especially geared to the classically-trained late elementary/early intermediate pianist (and their teacher) who wants to grasp the basics of improv. Jeremy Siskind guides student and teacher through fun, easy exercises along with helpful tips and guidelines. Includes topics such as fun rhythmic exercises, the creation of simple melodies, learning a variety of accompaniments and improvisation in a coherent ABA form and more!
