Black key improv

One of my favorite interventions to do during a session, especially for some of my older clients (teenagers and up), is to allow them to create their own piece on the piano.  One of the best ways to set them up for success is to instruct them to just use the black keys: that way, there is truly no “wrong” answer, as the notes all work well together!
