In this free sample lesson from Introduction to Improvising on the Piano, we explore the landscape of our keyboard using the smallest interval in our musical system: the half step. We practice moving across our musical landscape, connecting all of the notes as one long unbroken chain of half steps.
In this lesson Mireia Clua walks you through many great ideas and inspirations for practicing IFR Exercise 1: Landscape.
"I have been practicing IFR for half a year and it's great how I am progressing! One of my obstacles is that I still imagine notes on a music staff instead of the tonal numbers. Is there any way to switch from one image to the other?"
I just purchased your book from Amazon and would like to clarify a point. When the exercise says to visualize all five notes at once on my flute, does this mean the sound or the letter name of the note?
"I have more experience on the piano but now my main interest is the clarinet. Do you think I should practice your method on the clarinet, on the piano or both?"
I am a bass player with about 15 years of rock band experience whose first love has always been smooth jazz. I want to know if your book would help this bass player realize his goals of being able to improvise at will and gather a much better musical understanding.
I'm debating whether I should buy the IFR e-book or your video course "Seven Worlds for Guitar". Can you tell me what is included in each one, and what are the pros and cons of each?
In this free sample lesson from Introduction to Improvising on the Piano, we will master moving around our instrument by whole steps. Once we have mastered both the half step and the whole step, we can use these intervals to build the notes of any key on our instrument.
