Features: For a long time, there has been a strange phenomenon in the music education of our country: many undergraduate music majors often struggle to provide simple accompaniment for songs in the 21st century. Even though they have studied professional music theory for many years, they still appear helpless when faced with a song and cannot flexibly apply their knowledge. On the other hand, some amateur song enthusiasts without professional training, such as the pianists in many dance bands, can arrange familiar songs in a rich and layered manner. There is only one reason: they have a wealth of practical experience. As the saying goes, "Read three hundred poems of Tang poetry and you won't write poetry but will still sing them." The writing of this book has the following characteristics:
1. Simple and clear, focusing on practicality and fun. It enables piano enthusiasts to master the playing methods of improvisational accompaniment in the shortest time and play multiple songs they love.
2. Emphasizes the connection positions between chords. Mastering chord connections and the use of rhythmic patterns are key factors in learning improvisational accompaniment. Among the dozens of rhythmic patterns listed, the chord connections and positions remain unchanged.
3. Little theory, more hands-on, strong practicality.
4. Gradual progression from simple to complex. For piano players interested in improvisational accompaniment who also have a foundation in harmony theory, learning this book can give you a certain understanding of the chord connections and sound effects of traditional harmony. Once you master the key points of this book, you can then create your own chord accompaniment for your favorite songs.
