Generally speaking, you will want to start your piano improvisation with an introduction that sets up the mood. You can try various types of arpeggios using the chord voicings shown above. The example below uses a syncopated rhythm that creates an effect of weightlessness when played with the sustain pedal. Be sure to clear the pedal as the chord changes…for more info on pedaling, check out our Piano Pedal Essentials course. The next step is to play this setup along with one of the three backing tracks provided with this lesson.

Nice job! Restricting your note choices to a small set is one of the best ways to start improvising successfully. The first palette for beginners uses only three notes, but these notes sound so sweet!
You can actually make a lot of beautiful music with just these three notes. To get started, select the lower position shown below and explore starting and ending phrases from each note option. Try to exhaust all possibilities, but be sure to also leave some space. Next, try the same experiment using the upper position. You are ready to explore navigating between both hand positions within the same octave and also in several octaves!
If you have a little more experience, try this improv pallet which adds the note D to the beginner pallet. Follow the same process described above. One area in which students often short change themselves involves the inadequate exploration of repetition.
They mistakenly assume that they must always follow one note with a different note, or one idea with a different idea. If you played a three-or-four note gesture that sounded great, why not play it again? You could play it exactly the same, or vary some element of the gesture. For example, you can simulate an echo effect by playing it softer or in another octave.
Another option is to try beginning the gesture on a different beat. There are actually dozens of ways to repeat material with only slight variation. The use of repetition in this way creates interesting melodic lines that tend to have more continuity and control. If you are more of an intermediate pianist, try this intermediate improv pallet which adds the note E to the late beginner palette.
Just like the earlier improve pallets, the intermediate palette can be played from a lower position or an upper position. As an intermediate player, you will also want to explore adding ornamentation to your improv lines. Ornamentation involves the use of melodic devices that create a decorative effect such as slides, turns , and rolls. Another intermediate improvisation technique is the use of harmonized lines using 3rds and 6ths.
You can explore 3rds, 6ths and full range of intermediate solo piano techniques and effects in The Love Progression contemporary piano course.
