Q: do you have tips for getting good at improvising on the piano, more specifically than just doing it a lot for a long time? my practice usually goes like this: i play a note with my right hand, invent melody from there, and try to play accompanying chords with my left hand, slowly enough to not be *completely* riddled with mistakes but fast enough to still sound like music a little. i do that for like 30 minutes a day (is that long enough if i want to get good before i'm dead?). sometimes i instead start with a note with the left hand, invent a bassline from there and play chords with the right hand. and some other times i play a bassline with a melody, mostly without chords but sometimes try to slide one in when i feel adventurous. (i would sing too but i live in circumstances that makes it feel like a bad idea at the moment.) do you have better strategies? thanks if you read all that, even if you don't answer
A: in my opinion, it sounds like you are trying too hard to be too normal too soon. also, something not clear from your description, what exactly is a mistake?
