This is the first in a serious of piano tutorials called Train Your Piano Brain. In them, I'm going to look at ways you can help your brain adapt to the process of playing the piano, which should help you become a better faster learner.

Playing the piano is a complicated skill that makes a lot of heavy mental demands when it comes to making decisions about which notes to play, how hard, with what rhythm and so on.

In this session we look at the tricky skill of improvising swinging and syncopated rhythms, especially in the context of blues and jazz piano. The tutorial takes the form of a game with five levels, each one slightly harder than the last, designed to gradually build your up your rhythm improvisation skills and your hand independence.

The great thing about this game is that you can play most of it more or less anywhere - you don't necessarily need to be sat at the piano.
