Super helpful video! I love that you are inspiring people to find the music within themselves and giving people the tools to do that. We need more teachers like you!
I do wish my classical teachers had taught improvisation in a classical context. Only years later after improvising playing jazz and bluegrass did I start trying to do the same with classical music/styles. Thanks for the lesson!
Sure thing! Good to see you here. I've really been turned on to the fact that creativity (including improvising with patterns) is vital for all kinds of music learning. I hope to see this reflected in mainstream piano lessons more soon.
@@MyMusicGenesis My own experience learning classical piano from age 6 on was that it was pretty fear-based/rule-based. "You mustn't pedal Bach that way/at all, etc." As though the music wasn't something to explore/play with/etc. I mostly play guitar know, but learning to improvise has made playing Beethoven sonatas fun again (and easier to memorize). Because I see it more as "ah - he's using that move to get through this situation." Or, with classical guitar, oh Tarrega is using the same movement in sixths that I used to play over that Otis Redding tune. Or whatever. Which is to say, more power to you. I wish I had been taught that way.

Thank you. You are very kind! And it's good to see you over here!
this feels like hidden treasure
It really is! And why, in a multimillion dollar industry, should that be the case? (I think the answer is in my Piano lessons are doomed video)

I would like to buy an Audiation instrument and went on Amazon. Do you have a code to support your channel?
I wish I did! Your audiation instrument is infinitely valuable! 2% of infinitely valuable would work out great for me!
Thanks.
