Boring piano improvisation

Improvisation is unpredictable, and in my latest video, "A Tumblin' Bass," I explore this on the piano. I wanted to try a "walking bass" line, a technique I'm still perfecting. Keeping a walking bass steady is tricky, especially when improvising, and the tempo wasn’t always consistent—but that’s part of the process. Embracing imperfection is key in improvisation. Often, the most interesting moments come from the unexpected. In this session, I allowed myself to play freely, accepting that not every note would be perfect. Watch the video below, I hope it offers you some inspiration or reflection.

Once upon a time, I developed a method for improvising music.  Intrigued?  Let's dive in with something simple: start with two alternating chords and see where it takes you!

I've struggled with uncertainty almost my entire life, especially when it comes to playing the piano. Despite improvising for over a decade, I've hesitated to share my piano improvisations, fearing they weren't 'real' music. Nowadays, I trust my music more and more, and feel that it carries. Last year, I took a leap and started making videos on YouTube, on how to improvise on piano. To my amazement, I found an incredible community of kindred spirits! Thank you, each and every one of you, for watching and sharing your thoughts! I feel like we're all connected somehow. This is a great hobby. Let's keep improvising!

Isn´t it boring, how much interesting music there is in the world?  I suggest we stick to boring music.  Try it at home. Play something. It´s fun!
