Improvisation:

Create your own improvisation by borrowing musical ideas from Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
Choose a style below or create your own version.
Jazz Star - Add a flat 3rd slide (A-flat to A natural) for a bluesy sound.


Classical Star - Play left hand broken chords with a slower tempo. Add a trill or turn ornament.


Pop/Rock Star- Add left-hand rocking chord shells and syncopate a few melody notes in the right hand.


Spooky Star - Play very slowly with some tiptoe staccatos and flat 3rds (A-flat instead of A natural) and flat 6ths (D-flat instead of D natural).
