    Improvising in CM Blues

    The minor blues scale allows for fun improvisation by playing simple chord progressions up and down the piano to find pleasing sounds, adding notes from played chords or passing notes like triplets. When starting, go slowly by improvising over just chord roots or a song like Melody Gardot's "Your Heart Is as black as night," which pairs well with a C minor blues. Mastering the minor blues scale provides enjoyment and unlocks full piano abilities as improvisational skills develop.

    The minor blues scale is a lot of fun to play around with.

    It’s worth playing this simple chord progressions and


    improvising up and down the piano, finding what sounds good to you. You can add in notes from the chords
    you’re playing, try playing around with passing notes and even playing triplets such as [B, Bb C] or [F, Gb G].

    When you start out, start out slowly. You can just play the root of each chord and improvise over that. Or you
    can improvise over a song. I highly recommend improvising over Melody Gardot’s “Your Heart Is as black as
    night” which works beautifully with a C minor Blues improvisation.

    This, for me, was a great start to learning to improvise, and has helped me unlock the full width of the piano. Best
    of luck with it, and I hope you get hours of enjoyment as you discover your improvisational chops.
