D Major Improvisation Rhythm Challenge Book 1 (PDF with Studio License)

Many piano learners of all ages feel intimidated by the idea of creating their own music. But it's so much fun, and is actually a great way to improve other piano skills as well! 

Each book in my Improvisation Rhythm Challenge series contains 7 improvisation challenges and infinite creative possibilities!

The challenges are written in lead sheet format, with a pitchless rhythm outlined for the melody, and a chord progression outlined for the harmony. 

All the student has to do is add pitches from a designated scale to complete the melody, and choose their own left-hand pattern to flesh out the chord progression harmony.

And the best part is, these challenges are completely customizable! They're suitable for students of all levels!

• A brand new beginner can simply ignore the chords and practice reading and playing the rhythm using a simple pentascale.
• An intermediate student can practice inverting chords and incorporating different left-hand patterns.
• An advanced student can take it a step further and add start adding harmonic intervals to the melody.

For a sneak peek inside the book, and a demo of 10 different levels of sample improvisations all created based on just one of the challenges in the book, check out this video.
