Easy Piano Improv Using Neighborhood Notes

Composer Suzannah Doyle shows 3 easy ways to start making up melodies (improvising) when playing a C7 chord. Rather than focusing on note names or numbers, you instead play using "neighborhoods" of notes in a more spatial way. These note groups are:
1. C Scale (w/ b7) neighborhood
2. C7 chord notes (4 notes neighborhood)
3. C Blues scale neighborhood

It's fun, easy, and makes improvising more intuitive and relaxing! For more info:

Wow! I am handicapped and my dream has always been to play piano. You are making my dream come true. Thank you and I love your website. You will be hearing from me again. Piano is a great stress relaxer for me and helps me manage my chronic pain. God Bless you!
