Summary: Music is a vibrant and necessary part of the human experience—even a salve for the human condition. Concepts like minor and major, intervals and chords are all fine examples of the way we, as a species, like to catalogue and classify. Yet, improvisation is an instance where we play at the speed of thought, without classification or nomenclature. Very popular among jazz players, improvisation is a great tool to expose one’s true knowledge (or lack thereof) of a particular musical instrument—as well as let go of some of the traditions of the past to allow for new and different modes of creative expression.

In these free jazz piano lessons on video, pianist Ryan Larson teaches us not only how to improve our freestyle technique, but also how to read and write music—since you are only able to improvise with what you know. Keyboard lessons include how to play 5th chords, how to do chord progressions in the key of A major, how to use sharps, flats and intervals, how to play bass lines, how to change chord voicings, and how to compose for jazz piano.

About the Expert

Expert: Ryan Larson is a young jazz composer whose teaching technique focuses on the basics of music theory in all twelve keys. When applying his 12 key technique to understanding the logic behind reading and improvising over the harmonic series, you find that you can learn every basic chord just by running one song through all twelve keys.
