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 6 explores the moods and modes of key signatures with three sharps or flats, teaches students how to improvise in various keys within the same piece, and shows you how to create your own Patterns and Variations.
