Download or read book The Piano Improvisation Handbook written by Carl Humphries and published by Hal Leonard Corporation. This book was released on 2009 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Piano Improvisation Handbook" offers a comprehensive overview of the practical skills and theoretical issues involved in mastering all forms of piano improvisation. It explores a wide range of styles, including classical, jazz, rock and blues. Whereas other books on improvisation typically offer little more than models for imitation and exercises for practising, this one adopts an approach specifically designed to encourage and enable independent creative exploration. The book contains a series of graded tutorial sections with musical examples on CD, as well as an extensive introductory section detailing the history of keyboard and piano improvisation, an appendix listing useful scales, chords, voicings and progressions across all keys, a bibliography and a discography. In addition to sections outlining how melody, harmony, rhythm, texture and form work in improvised piano music, there are sections devoted to explaining how ideas can be developed into continuous music and to exploring the process of finding a personal style. A key feature is the distinctive stress the author puts on the interconnectedness of jazz and classical music where improvisation is concerned. This book is best suited to those with at least some prior experience of learning the piano. However, the rudiments of both music theory and piano technique are covered in such a way that it can also serve as an effective basis for a self-sufficient course in creative piano playing.

Book excerpt: From classical music to Jazz the journey is long and magical, as the chords are revised, transforming like the colors of a sky during sunset. Keep in mind that melody is the boat and harmony is its sail ... In this book you have the opportunity to feel and investigate this, as you can study three classical masterpieces: "Für Elise" (Ludwig van Beethoven), "June: Barcarolle" (Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky) and "Waltz in A minor" (Frédéric Chopin), here revised in jazz music, in Swing and Bossa Nova rhythms. This study does not only has do to with the art of harmonization, which is by itself a great chapter in the field of music, but also it is a creative dialog between cultures, chords, styles, rhythms and techniques. The maturity and wealth of classical music here, in this book, find their freedom in the rhythmic and pluralistic ocean of jazz, forming a new, fresh and light language. So, if you are a classic pianist who wants to discover the world of jazz music and expand his horizons and skills on another level in a very creative and easy way, this book is written for you.
