Improvisation
Improv is something done on the fly ... but in order to do it, it takes a lot of practice to get to that point. I would consider this exercise "done" now ... I was able to improv a melody over the chord progression and move my right hand around out of a 5-finger position. I will continue to practice improv for this year as one of my main goals. I consider this ability to be part of being an actual pianist and musician ... plus - its FUN!
I practiced this for some time, then let it sit and revisited it months later. I have found in piano sometimes its good to learn things and then drop them, the skill isn't forgotten if pracitced enough the first time around and it gets better and better each time its revisited.
