My greatest advice to all beginners and people that ask me is: train your ears. Your ears are your most important equipment in music, they help you know the next chords and notes, its tune, things that fit together, improvise and much more. Simply listen to a song, stop doing anything else, and pay attention to how it goes, how it talks, and how can you imitate it or even make it sound better. Do it enough and you'll have ease to improvise. Oh, and one more thing: whether you are listening to or playing a song, always connect with it, just like while training your ears. Feel it and let it speak to you, so that you can speak back to it.

You may see someone else's house and try to duplicate it, but you have no blueprints I think that's the best way I can describe it...

I could tell that there was a couple moments in level 3 that you started thinking about what you’re playing, then towards the end you let go and let it steer you. Honestly I like Yanni’s interpretation of free improv as well(manifested in the “creative mode”), where he explains that the creative mode is like a butterfly that lands in your hand. If you grab it or reach for it, it disappears. You just have to let it land in your hand and go wherever it wants. The same applies to free-styling rap as well.

Level 3 seems like when a group of performers don’t have the sheet music or remember the chords. Reminds me of jazz combo last fall when we were memorizing some of the songs and then when we got to Recorda Me, the other two woodwindists (tenor and alto player) did not play the melody with me and left me to do it on my own after my solo (last solo) and I messed up so much on my clarinet. This really helps out! Even I learned a new way this month when we were having normal classes instead of online, there was a way of improvising which is to sing and create a melody line to make it sound so much better. A friend of mine, the tenor sax player who let me do Recorda Me’s melody alone, taught us all this in jazz combo about this.

kaith jarrett used to play whole concerts just improvising, i strongly recommend to take a look on them because the mastermind standing behind that idea is beyond anything that i know

The free improv part got me leaning back in my chair, closing my eyes, slowly drifting off and just thinking about space, shapes and colors flying around, merging together and exploding into new shapes and colors. Oddly satisfying.

Ive been playing for 20 years, 8 seriously and the rest off and on, but this guy has shown me how to use my knowledge of the Piano to improvise and its amazing. I hqve hundreds of songs memorized but have loved improvising so much more. They need to teach this at piano lessons, or maybe i had a bad teacher

This video was super intriguing to me. My journey of learning how to play the piano kind of began with free improv. I could tell I had an ear for it and wrote myself “mini songs” that I could reproduce and then began learning how to play actual songs by ear. That progressed to learning how to read sheet music and so on and so forth. I haven’t really gone back to free improv since that time and this inspired me to try that out again. Thank you!

You are the most precious human. Your talent is incomprehensible to me but I love learning what you teach!! I took piano classes for like 10 years but was never even taught chords so anything past level 0 is way over my head. Brava, keep this content coming!

You can visually see at 11:16 where his emotions connect with the music and its just perfect harmony from there on out. Not overly complicated but the feeling is in tune with his hands. Kind of like a train of thought getting up and running. This is why I personally love improv. Great vid!

This was great! I play the third way...never knew what to call it...other than improv. Everything is fresh every time. I interpret peoples moods etc on to the piano. Have had people wander over to the piano and just sit down. They said they could tell I was doing just that. Amazing!
