This short jazz improvisation tutorial will teach you some ways to restrict yourself while practicing improvisation. This helps you avoid finger patterns and forces you to be more creative.

I teach Skype lessons. If you’re interested, email me at JazzPianoConcepts@gmail.com

Rhythmic Restrictions

Only 1/4 notes Only 1/8 notes Use only triplets

Technical Restrictions:

Play every other measure Use only your left hand Only arpeggios


In this short jazz piano lesson, you will learn a great warm up exercise to use before each time you sit down to play or practice. In this exercise, you alternate between arppegiating a Major7#11 chord and minor11 chord, moving this pattern down in half-steps.
