Quiescence Music Releases Free Piano Lesson: 'How to Create a Timed Piano Improvisation'

Jan. 12, 2012 - PRLog -- Creative writing instructors have been using it for years ... the writing prompt. It's a tool to help students focus on writing what they feel instead of thinking about it for hours.

And now, online piano teacher Edward Weiss has incorporated this technique into New Age piano playing of all things. http://www.quiescencemusic.com/timedpiano.html

Weiss explains...

"There's nothing more freeing for students than to forget about the technical problems of playing piano and just focus in on actually playing it. This is what a timed piano improvisaiton does - it gives students a brief time period and just a few chords to play around with. You'd be surprised just how freeing an experience this can be. Especially for students who have never improvised before."

Here's what this 'new age' piano teacher says about his online course:

"New Age piano is a very popular style of music. Millions around the world enjoy the beauty and relaxing effects it has to offer. But there was nothing as far as instruction goes - either online or off. I created a course where anyone who enjoys this style can go and learn how to play it without learning how to read music."

Weiss also adds:

“Most piano students assume they must learn how to read music before they attempt anything creative. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, I encourage students to speak the language of music first through chords before learning how to read it.”

Mr. Weiss is currently running a special where prospective students can learn the art of New Age piano playing for just $19 a month. A free lesson 'Summer Morning' and report '5 Secrets to Playing New Age Piano' are also at the site. More information at http://www.QuiescenceMusic.com
