Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Adult Beginners Forum Books on New Age improvisation?

Can anyone recommend books about the 'building blocks' of New Age piano music and improvisation techniques? It seems a lot of New Age pianists compose at the keyboard, putting together riffs and melodies, almost like a rock/pop pianist might - though New Age borrows more from classical and jazz influences.

I'm looking for something that covers:
- Chord progressions
- Improvising melody, harmony, and bass lines
- Structuring a piece of music / transitioning between sections
- How to evoke different "moods" (seasons, emotions, natural settings, etc.)

I haven't been able to find much looking around in a music shop, so I'm open to suggestions...

Shameless self promotion coming ... Colin, I teach New Age piano and have a workbook that comes with the course I teach. Click my sig below for more info.
