I've produced these lessons specifically for those who want to improvise over chord charts. Maybe you already know hot to roughly improvise, but you find yourself playing the same things over and over. You'd like some guidelines, some understanding and fresh ideas, and along the way, learn some great chords and how to create solos and fill lines. And that's what this course is about.
Are these lessons for beginners? Well the lessons do start at a basic level, explaining the simplest of chords, but it does help if you already know how to read notes. We'll then look at how to modify your chords. which rhtyhms to use, what to play in your left hand, through to creating runs and fills. You'll get over 7 hours of instructional videos, split into 12 lessons and each lesson comes with worksheets that further explain the topic with examples and exercises that help you practice.
As a bonus, you'll also receive a downloadable version of the Quaverbox Manual and audio tracks. Over 6000 (now it's 10000) copies have been sold and it's currently being used as a teaching resource in a number of universities. But that's not all, you'll also get a free half hour jazz lesson video that will introduce some really smooth jazz chords and teach you how to play them in all 12 keys. You get all that for about the same price you would pay for a single, one hour lesson with a live piano teacher.
And here, you're receiving material that I would cover in one year's worth of lessons with my students. Piano improvisation is made easy in this course and you'll enjoy playing with a deeper understanding. Sure it will take time and practice but start now, and I'll help you take your piano playing to the next level.
These piano improvisation lessons cater for the beginner but are aimed at those who have had a couple of years of classical piano lessons. Perhaps you gave up because Beethoven wasn't your thing and now you'd like to play some modern piano songs. Your note reading skills will definitely come in handy here, and don't worry if you're a bit rusty.
Another group of students who will benefit from this series are those wishing to play contemporary worship songs for their church. The techniques you'll learn will apply to both popular radio songs, and to modern church choruses. And all the chord progressions we'll cover - they'll help you confidently improvise during those free-worship sessions.
Maybe you can already improvise over a few chords, but you'd like a better understanding and some fresh ideas. Often, new students can play some chool chords but they're stuck using the same inversions or they don't really grasp the definitions of the chords they're playing. By the end of these piano lessons, you'll know what to play and why you play it.
Here's a short sample of the piano lesson videos. Each lesson comes with worksheets containing examples and exercises to further help you practice and to reinforce the improvisation ideas covered in the video. Click here to download a sample worksheet.
The lesson videos are in HD at 1280 x 720 resolution, ideal for clearly viewing all the notes being played on your tablet or laptop by your piano. You'll find more information about video formats and downloading in the FAQs.
Your YouTube channel is one of the best piano improvisation lesson channels. I just purchased all your lessons a few days ago. You are an excellent teacher and I would highly recommend your course to anyone who wants to learn to play the piano.

Bjørn Broer from Netherlands posted a video on the Quaverbox Facebook page and in it he plays the chord progression Dm C Bb A. This video is my response and here I play the same chord progression while adding a few chord modifications and fillers. The resulting chord progression looks more like Dm9 C2 Bbmaj9 A7#5. I also demonstrate some simple two note patterns that are very effective over a progression. As I often do, it ends off with some jazzy piano improvisation. oh, and Pacman makes an appearance. Yes, Pacman.
