A fun pentatonic improvisation and finger exercise for smoother, quicker piano playing

http://www.billspianopages.com/how-to-really

Ever got frustrated with how slow your fingers are when you play the piano? This exercise not only helps you improve your improvisation skills, it develops your finger dexterity in much the same way that playing scales does. Scales and arpeggios are still incredibly important of course, especially if you want to learn classical piano, but if you want to mix things up a little, or if classical playing isn't your main aim, you can have fun and make a lot of progress playing this.

It uses two chords in the left hand that you can play entirely at will - there's no fixed chord progression - and a pentatonic improvisation in the right.

Remember to make sure you're always listening to what you're playing and that it's musical (because the piano makes the sound for us, it's easy just to focus on pushing the keys on not concentrate on how musical we're being). It's also good to mix things up in different keys: C major is great when you're learning the exercise or if you're really new to the instrument, but once you have some skills in other keys you should transpose this exercise into them, so you're getting maximum flexibility and fluency on the piano keyboard.
