So you want to be more creative when playing piano. Many students wish they could just sit down and improvise their own music but don't know how to begin.The violin is a bowed stringed instrument and is the highest pitched member of the violin family. It sits along side its cousins - .....
They think if they can't play a fugue like Bach, they are untalented. Or, they think the music that comes out of them must be sophisticated or it's not worth anything.

Many students wonder why they have problems improvising. When I explain to them that the problem is not with technique but attitude, they look at me surprised. After all, aren't they willing to learn' Of course! But they must first shun the "creative genius" persona and be willing to let go and let the music tell them where it wants to go.
Once students understand that they aren't in charge of creating music, they begin to have that knowing inward smile.

Then they can relax and fully enjoy all that music has to offer.
