So, you’re looking for free piano lessons? There are many sites on the Internet that offer to teach you how to play the piano. Problem is, they aren’t that good. That is, you may learn how to read bass or treble clef, but you won’t come away being able to actually play something…until now!

My name is Edward Weiss and I’ve been offering students free piano lessons for over 3 years now. Specifically, the lessons I offer help you to improvise and create your own music without any experience necessary! The 2 free piano lessons offered are titled “Winter Scene” and “Reflections in Water!”

Each lesson offers you a different technique. In “Winter Scene,” you learn how to play an ostinato pattern in your left hand while your right creates an improvised melody. “Reflections in Water” teaches you how to improvise using chords with both hands right away. There is no waiting, no complicated theory or technique to learn. On the contrary, these free piano lessons are designed to get you playing your own music right away from scratch.

Look, if you want to spend years learning how to read music and then play other peoples music, by all means you should. But if you want a new approach to music, one that’s based on chords and improvisation, you’re going to love these free piano lessons!

The cool thing about them is that they’re structured like an art lesson. That is, it’s a step-by-step instruction that leads you to improvising your own music. Just like an art lesson, you learn the basics first. Each step leads you to the next and if you follow the text, you’ll be able to just sit down at the piano and play. Try out these free piano lessons and see for yourself!

Have you ever wondered how someone can just sit down at the piano and play? It’s unfathomable to most how it’s done. But to a select few, it’s just a matter of knowing how to improvise freely on the keyboard.

You don’t have to know years of theory or harmony training in order to create your own music. Not if you start your journey out with simple means.

For example, take a look at the lesson “Winter Scene” (available below). Here we have a piano lesson that uses just 2 chords. Yet 2 chords are all that is required to create your own unique music! How is this accomplished? By limiting choice.

You see, when you have too many choices you lose the ability to focus. And focus is important for successful improvisation. I define successful improvisation as a person’s ability to move forward with the music without self-judgement or criticism.

In the lesson “Winter Scene,” the left hand gets 2 easy chords to play while the right focuses on creating an improvised melody from the Dorian scale. With these materials, almost anyone can sit down at the piano or keyboard and begin making music. It doesn’t take a Mozart or Beethoven to do this. On the contrary, it’s usually those with little or no experience at piano that are able to begin improvising freely.

And it’s the students with years of classical training that often have problems. They always want to make piano improvisation more difficult than it has to be. This is because most of these students are trained to believe music is inherently difficult.

To play the piano and to learn the art of improvisation, one must let go of the need to be in control and allow for mistakes. With this attitude and the right instruction, there’s no telling where a student’s imagination might go!
