Improvisation, Level 2 (Hard Copy)

Welcome to Hymn Playing Basics: Improvisation, Level Two.
 
In this book, we dive deep into improvisation. This book will put your musical knowledge to the test; your fingers will fly over the keyboard (entirely too much, I must say), but you will learn a wonderful, evangelistic sound!
 
This book is specifically tailored to the church pianist who doesn’t necessarily have hours and hours to sit down and come up with creative ideas, but who is willing to practice the ones shown in this book. Let's take your hymn playing to the next level!
 
You should be able to play at least at a late intermediate level to successfully learn the techniques taught in this book.
