  Brilliant lesson, Michael. &nbsp;I&apos;m a big fan of your teaching style. &nbsp;It&apos;s like watching the early morning mist disappear when the sun comes out.

  Best 27 minutes I have spent recently! &nbsp;Thank you. I have persevered three or more years of piano playing purely using chords and scale notes in each Key to find myself basically improvising. &nbsp;If I had seen this video and guide I could have achieved the same level of competence much quicker. All newbies should watch this intro and persevere!!

  OMG, fantastic lesson Michael. &nbsp;I am exactly the person you described at the beginning of the lesson. &nbsp;For the last year I have just been focusing on chords and inversions and you have just tied everything together for me. &nbsp;Thank you so much! &nbsp;AWESOME

  This video was absolutely golden. Your instructions are so clear and easy to follow. I was most stunned when I saw that this video only has 322 views. <br>Also, I always thought you needed perfect pitch to improvise. This video has fortuitously dispelled that myth for me.

  I am a guitarist not a keyboard player but this video makes so much sense. For many years I knew where to put my fingers on the fretboard but not why. This channel plus others have really helped as I regularly tune my guitar in various open Sus2/Sus4/Maj/Min tunings and having a reasonable knowledge of theory really opens up the musical possibilities of the instrument. Thank you Michael!

  You take the piano to heights I didn’t know existed. Pure Genius work and discussion!!! Sorry I just had to add this second comment after watching your video to the end.

  This video was exactly what I needed. I’m one of those classically trained pianists, that when sat behind a piano without sheet music doesn’t seem to even know how to play (save a couple of random bars) which feels ridiculous after years of playing! The theory was all there more or less but I was just never taught how to put that into practice with improv. Thanks Michael, I’m feeling inspired to finally begin my improv/ composing journey. :)
