Complete Improviser

The inspiration to write this book came from the realization that there was no current method that presented the essential piano improvisor’s tool kit in an integrated, carefully planned step by step building-block sequence from beginning to end. The Complete Improviser sequentially presents, chapter by chapter, the authentic tool kit of musical devices used by top professional pianists. Each time a new device is presented, it is added to and combined with the devices in the preceding chapters. In the last chapter, the reader is shown how to combine all of these devices and techniques in an infinite number of creative ways to produce keyboard music of the highest professional caliber.
