Herbert Wiedemann - piano improvisation for advanced players
After his studies of school music and piano, Herbert Wiedemann taught piano at the University of Oldenburg. In 1983 he obtained his doctorate in music pedagogy. Five years later, he was granted the professorship for piano- with a focus on improvisation- at the University of Arts in Berlin.
A series of exercises and play models will form the basis of improvisation. Simple scales, harmony models and manageable examples will serve as material to invent own melodies and to develop accompanying motifs. This course is aimed at advanced pianists who do not want to play in an only reproductive way. Knowledge of chords and scales is requested.
