We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our exciting new YouTube series: Play! with Piano Inspires Kids!
Designed to spark creativity in young pianists, this series encourages students to explore the piano in fun and imaginative ways, focusing on improvisation, listening, and creating at the keyboard.
Each video is filled with musical activities that will inspire students to develop their own unique musical voice. No matter the student’s level, Play! with Piano Inspires Kids will help them explore the endless possibilities of sound and creativity.
For each improvisation, listen to the accompaniment, and create your melody. Listen to and play with the video multiple times, choosing different options each time. How many improvisations can you create with these patterns?
While you improvise, you will hear ideas that you like; repeat them! If you hear a note that does not sound ideal to your ear, resolve it. This means to play the next note lower or higher.
