Summary

Mistakes are normal. Imperfection is beautiful. Happy Accidentals are improvisations by Patrick Hockberger. Notebook: Before going to the keyboard, I was inspired by a melodic idea from Hamilton and began playing with alterations and reharmonizations in my mind. At the keyboard, I started by playing the idea several times to develop muscle memory. Then my fingers wandered elsewhere and discovers some interesting chord combinations. I’ve been experimenting with minor Dominant chords lately. Halfway through, it started sounding like a song from In The Heights, also by Lin Manuel-Mirandez. Accidental key change, so I went with it. The minor section was very interesting and could be a great jumping off point for a future improvisation. Found my way back to the original theme, then back out. Could have ended it a few times, but I loved where my head was at, so I wanted to see if I could discover any more interesting ideas. It went on a little longer, but I cropped off the ending.
