Master piano improvisation using patterns and learn how to create your own music
Music consists of patterns: harmonic, rhythmic, melodic, and accompaniment patterns. In this course, you’ll learn to create music by studying and combining patterns from various composers, enabling you to improvise or compose your own ideas.
In my online course Piano Patterns in Harmony, we will introduce the different degrees of the scale to understand harmony in an easy and musical way.
We will create music with each activity, using chords, scales, or embellishing tones.

Everybody can improvise
- Have you been playing the piano for several years and still don’t know how to improvise?
- Can you read sheet music but don’t know how to create your own music?
- Do you want to learn harmony in a practical way?
Everyone can improvise; you don’t need to have an innate talent. You just need to know a few basic tools to be able to do it and enjoy it.
Do you already know how to play the piano but want to learn how to improvise?
This piano improvisation course is designed for people who already know how to play the piano. It is not for beginners, as a basic piano foundation is needed to follow along. It’s ideal for people with an intermediate, advanced, or professional level of piano skills.
If you can play a Sonatina by Diabelli, an Invention by Bach, or Nuvole Bianche, for example, you can take the course.
Would you like to learn improvisation with patterns at your own pace?
With over eight hours of video and nearly 250 pages of examples for improvisation, you’ll have material to learn at your own pace for over a year.
Are you a teacher interested in learning new improvisation techniques to use in your classes?
This course will not only enhance your improvisation skills and deepen your understanding of harmony, but it can also be highly beneficial for piano teachers. Additionally, the teacher’s version of the course includes videos with class examples and special worksheets to work with your students.

Juan is undoubtedly an incomparable teacher, he not only helps you to bring out your full potential but also helps you to understand music and to love it with as much passion as he does. His classes are very dynamic and his teaching is great. As a student of Juan’s, I must say that his classes encourage me to continue doing what I like, to learn new things and above all to develop my creativity in a safe and wonderful environment.
