Objective 5- Production of Guide Chord Tone improvisation

This chapter was included as objective one had shown that chord tones could be used effectively to improvise. Ojective two also revealed that classical pianists would likely be familiar with dominant seventh arpeggios. Improvisation using these chords involves making patterns out of arpeggiated figures. This therefore extends the Classical Pianist's existing skill. I have once again attempted to consolidate the learning. The chapter begins by solely concentrating on chord tones. The music of Bach provides an excellent example of composing using chord tones. This was therefore chosen to provide a familiar context to the concept. The notated improvisation following the Bach example, again contains only chord tones. This places the concept within an improvisation context.  After this initial preperation stage, the user is asked to apply their knowedge by improvising using  chord tones with the first two bars provided. Consolidation is also apparent in the next part of the chapter that reintroduces approaches and target notes. The leaner should already be confident at this because of the previous chapter.
