improvisation for piano

I’m trying to improve at improvising. I’d appreciate any feedback. Also im curious what kind of style of piano music this improvisation would fall into?

It’s been over a month and no one has to reply, so let me be the first! I am a professional pianist and Improvise all the time in my practice sessions.

In my opinion, it helps to know certain structures or musical devices. If you know a chord progression, play the chords in the left hand on loop and practice a loose melody on top. From there, switch the roles and try to improvise the bass.

Little by little, you can develop your technique as we do with all things, but to improvise well and fluently, you need to train your mind. You need to have knowledge and confidence in your music skill to execute complex passages.

Start simple and get more complex over time. Attached is my little demo just doing C-F-G chords in the left hand and going for it with my right hand.

Hey I had not checked here in a while because I assumed no one would respond. I originally had an improvisation attached but deleted it since I didn’t want anyone reviewing it without me responding. Thanks for the advice and responding to my post either way!
