In fact, for Manman, improvisation is as simple as eating lettuce (except for jazz). So simple that every time I go on stage, I want it to be improvised accompaniment, because it just comes to me without any warm-up or practice.
Simple improvisation is so simple, we're going to unveil it right now. Mozart era piano pieces.
First of all, you need to master the 3 most most used beats, 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4. Do you still need Manman to explain? Ok...I'll be brief.
2/4, pronounced four-two beat, takes the quarter note as one beat and has two beats per measure. It's generally used for fast-paced tunes like Hip Swish, Little Apple. The beat direction is weak, strong, weak, strong, weak... (in an infinite loop)
3/4, read four triplets, with quarter notes as one beat, and three beats per measure. Generally used in dance music, such as waltz, round dance music. The square uncle and the older woman dancing social dance, basically this rhythm. The beat direction is strong weak weak, strong weak weak ... (infinite loop)
4/4, read four four beat, to the quarter note for a beat, each bar has four beats. Generally used for slow songs, lyrical songs. Such as the story of a small town, the moon, Ode to Joy. The direction of the beat is strong, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak. Weak weak weak ... (infinite loop)
Just master these three beats, the little ones can go to fight the world.
You can find a random song and hum it while you beat the rhythm with your hands on your knees. Hit the strong beat with your left hand and the weak beat with your right hand. Hit it a few more times until you get a feel for it.
2/4 or 4/4 beat pattern:1535 1535 (in an infinite loop) (in the key of C, for example, the number indicates the name of the song, if the number is added to the right of . If the right side of the number has a ., such as 1., it means one octave higher. (Same below)
The accompaniment for a 2- or 4-beat tune is similar. Of course, sometimes in order to express the 2-beat rhythm of the fast or 4-beat rhythm of the lyric, the rhythm pattern will be adjusted accordingly. But as a beginner, we do not want to be greedy, first practiced firmly a say. One of the better pieces to practice this rhythm pattern is "Little Star".
3/4 beat pattern:135 135 (in infinite loop). As mentioned, this rhythm pattern is good for dancing in pairs, and it is a good choice to practice with "Snowdrops".
Both of these patterns require you to practice more. Practice them separately at first, and then practice them with your right and left hands together once you are familiar with them. Practice until you can play it with your eyes closed, and practice until it's as easy as eating, then you've succeeded.
See here, will not zero basic friends will wonder, how to improvise accompaniment and letters on the ditch? A little farther, improvisational accompaniment and letters are simply cut and dried relationship.
If the chords are wrong in the improvisation, it will make the listener sound very uncomfortable (except on purpose). So for each note, you need to have a relatively accurate chord root note to base it on. And letters can help you quickly notate on a piece of music.
The keys commonly used in piano are CDEFGA, and their corresponding chords are 135,246,357,461.,572.,61.3. So when you want to play the chord 135, just write C on the sheet music and so on.
It's also easy to utilize, as each piece is divided by a bar line. One or two bar lines are used as a unit, and the first note that appears after the bar line is used as the root note of the left hand chord.
For example, the first two lines of Little Star are /1155/665-/, and seeing that the first note after the bar line is 1, the beat of Little Star is 4/4, so we use the 1535 pattern, and the left hand accompaniment is 1535 with 1 as the root note.
The third and fourth lines of Little Star are /4433/221-/. By analogy, the first note after the bar line in this phrase is a 4, so the left-hand accompaniment with a 4 as the root note is 41.61. and the fourth phrase has a sense of termination. Because "Little Star" is a major key tune, the terminating note is usually 135, so the chord we assign to the fourth phrase is 251. And so on.
Major key:Generally tunes sound bright and upward. For example, "Turkish March", "Ode to Joy". The ending note of the piece is often one of 1, 3, or 5.
When the tune is in a major key, the most used is 1 4 5 (C F G) to start the accompaniment. For example, 1535 4161 5272.
Minor key:Generally the tune sounds hesitant and sad. Such as "Dedicated to Alice", "Readers". The ending note of the piece is many times 6 1 3.
When it is a tune in a minor key, the most used accompaniment is 6 3 2 (A E D) beginning. For example, 6313 3757 2646.
If you don't know how to listen to the emotional color of the tune, you can determine the key by judging the last note of the song, and thus decide what kind of accompaniment to use.
Improvised accompaniment is so varied and vast. If you give Manman a song, you can play at least ten different accompaniment schemes. Harmony alone can take years to learn. So, we will not go into the depth, only to teach you a commonly used and good to listen to, called the ten degree interval.
Don't be afraid, it's just an arpeggio, put 1535, change into 151. 3. Similarly, the 2646, played as 262. .4.
See the pattern? Why is it a 10th interval? Because there are exactly ten degrees between 1 and 3. This substitution is used extensively in Clayderman's piano music. 153 three tones, however you want to arrange them, can become 153.5, or 13.5 3.
As long as it sounds good, use your imagination.
After learning this, you'll be able to play your own improvised accompaniment, and you'll be able to show off your skills to your friends and family!
