Pick Any Song You Like And Start Improvising On It Before 12:01am Tomorrow"

For many pianists, whether beginners or professionals, improvisation can be very daunting and overwhelming. People who are good at it sound wonderful, and people who don’t quite get it can sound really terrible. The problem is, how can you approach jazz improvisation without being afraid or feel overwhelmed by the many concepts? Improvisation is about feeling, emotions, music. It really should not have to be a complicated puzzle of theory knowledge and deep thinking and analyzing. Here, we will attempt to break down the barriers of jazz improvisation and make it accessible to all.

In the decade we now live in, we have universities, music schools and colleges are putting the emphasis on their renowned jazz music study programs which includes countless theory classes and improvisation workshops that all seems to be reserved to the musical elite of the young generation. This, by itself, scares most new piano players. How can they start improvising and possibly be good at it if they aren’t even part of one of those established jazz study programs? Let’s go back to where it all started.

Back in the early 1900’s up to the 1950’s, America has seen the jazz scene expand and explode with many influential musicians such as Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans and many more. Did those incredible jazz artists attend a reputable school and studied extensively before even starting to improvise? No. It came naturally to them; after listening to jazz records and toying around with their respective instruments, those jazz masters eventually started improvising themselves and creating melodies, solos and chord progressions that sounded good to them. The more they played, the better they became and the more polished their improvisational skills became.

Improvising is all about playing what you hear. Many beginner jazz pianists are highly encouraged to try and sing an improvised solo. If you have any sort of musical ear, your will be inclined to sing notes that somehow fit in the harmonic context or derive from it in a very interesting way; your ears will rarely lead you on notes that you consider ‘wrong’. Sing over a chord progression, and try to play back what you just sang on the piano. This will help you understand what you are hearing and what comes naturally to you when you sing.

Another great starting point for novice players wishing to get into improvisation is to transcribe solos and learn how to play them. Pick a simple solo – Wynton Kelly’s solo on Freddie Freeloader certainly is a classically simple yet powerful piano improvisation that you can transcribe on paper and learn how to play yourself. This will help you understand how master pianists phrase their ideas and produce them in a musical context.

All in all, there needs to be some sort of basic theory knowledge for anyone to develop advanced improvisational skills – but you can certainly start discovering the wonderful world of jazz improvisation right now. It’s all about your ears and what you are feeling. Sit at the piano, place your hands on the ivory keys and try something. There’s no one there to judge you and the more you try, the better you’ll get.
