Instant Improv Igniter
A short and sweet course to get pianists improvising and in touch with their creative voice.
So, you’ve been playing piano for a while…
You’ve learned your scales, chords, and arpeggios.
And you’ve played a bunch of pieces using those skills.
But for some reason…
You’re completely lost without sheet music!
Don’t worry! I’m Dr. Michael J Park and I’m here to show you the way!
Hello there, I’m Dr. Michael J Park!
I’m a composer, pianist, and creative coach. For more than 20 years, I’ve been using music to help people connect with ideas, themselves, and others.
I believe that every pianist deserves free and easy access to their own creative voice!
Can I level with you?
It breaks my heart seeing so many musicians like you
completely separated from their own creativity.
As kids, you played
exploring and creating…
but today, just because
you weren’t taught how to do it
the right way…
you earnestly believe that you can’t create.
I mean, I see how you got there…
As music got more complicated,
we needed to write down more details,
so piano lessons adjusted to focus on reading.
Over time, that focus on a visual form of music has had a profound impact on how classical musicians think of music…
What You’re Probably Thinking
Only jazz musicians improvise…
Music has to be written down to be real…
I’m not a composer, so I can’t be creative…
I don’t have time to learn more theory…
Here’s The Real Deal
Improvising has always been part of classical music!
Improv is a natural way of using skills and tools to explore and understand music (and the world) better!
Music is a language that you already know - stop reciting it and start speaking!
I’ll show you how to do it with the skills and knowledge you already have!
Music is a language of sounds.
And sheet music is silent without play.
When we close the book, music doesn’t just suddenly disappear.
When we start listening to our own musical intuition…
It tells us what to play.
Through improvisation, our own musical voice starts singing.
We become more connected to the piano, the music we play, and ourselves.
When you unlock your creative voice through improvisation, no sheet music is needed. You’ll feel confident playing something original on any piano, any time!
The skills involved in improvisation are the same ones that make you a better communicator, collaborator, and musician. Discover the joy of making music for and with others!
A short and sweet course that will help you overcome the mental hurdles preventing you from improvising and exploring your creative voice.
Here’s what you can expect inside the course:
We all know that learning music takes time…
But you’ve already put in so many hours at the piano!
So I’ve deliberately made this course short. No filler, no new music to learn. Just 3 exercises to prove to you, beyond the shadow of a doubt that You ARE Creative!
In about one hour, you will be transformed…
You’ll be one giant step closer to the musician you’ve always wanted to be.
Set aside the sheet music and I guarantee you’ll:
Start improvising within minutes
Unlock a sense of curiosity and exploration
Start developing an intuitive sense of harmony
Learn to access your unique creative voice
