Pattern Play offers students of all ages and levels an opportunity to create, explore, and enjoy making music. Four progressive volumes provide a sequential collection of the patterns from which music is made. By playing with these patterns, students will learn to improvise and compose music in a wide variety of styles, including classical, jazz, and popular! This intuitive approach to improvisation gives students a solid foundation in musicality and theory, making it an ideal complement to traditional piano study.

Pattern Play 4 explores moods and imagery in music and introduces improvisation using scales and modes with one and two sharps. Students create music with triads and 7th, 9th, 13th, sus, and diminished chords.
