Recently I received an email from Jackie who lives in Texas. With her permission, I’d like to share her email with you.
“Hi Ms. Wong. I don't have a video, but I was able to make a recording. I started on the lesson on color chords/maj7 chords today. For the first time, I was able to play something that wasn't written on paper and it didn't sound half bad. There are a few "oopses" but I was trying to capture the moment before it escaped me. I just started playing what I felt using the Fmaj7 chord as a starting point. Wow, how liberating!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
Here are the two recordings of Jackie.
Recording 1 (F Major 7th) - A beautiful ballad style composed primarily with major 7th chord is used in this song. You can hear the nostalgic left hand pattern throughout the whole song. Not bad for a first time improviser.

Recording 2 (D Major) - Jackie was able to creatively arrange and improvise her music using dynamics and theme notes. She played the music with expression and emotion throughout the composition.

The techniques she used are covered by the piano lessons in Definitive Piano Improvisation course. She ordered the course on July 23, 2012.
