Q: ive been taking piano lessons for a while and i usually only play classical music, but i kinda want to branch out into jazz. i have a pretty basic knowledge of chords, but nothing too fancy. what do you think is the best approach to learning more about chords, improvisation, etc.?
A: when you say 'classical', if you mean you are reading every note, then i'd say a good start is just to sit down at the instrument and start seeing what it can do. you're probably going to have to learn to make the notes up instead of reading them
