What should I do now?
Even though I haven't played but maybe near 4 years, I think I'm ready to learn some intermediate techniques. I'm taking lessons and level 2 but that's sight reading, aside from sight reading I need to work on my arrangement/iprov skills because I compare mine to people who've done it for longer and mine is kind of repetitive and boring even though I purposely make it harder to play! lol! My left hand jumps all over the place because I try to make it sound better, but still kind of repetitive. I want to improvise songs that have no piano originally so they sound good on piano also. I need more ways to make one chord used over and over sound different and interesting. Because ALOT of songs just use 1-4 chord for the verse. Do you think studying another style such as blues or jazz would help?

Ahh, what you should do is this. Try not to concentrate on improvisations that much. try to learn sharpen your reading and hand-eye coordination to strengthen your playing. Improvisation is much more suited to Jazz/Blues style of playing (but perfecting the rhythm is very hard) so if you want to concentrate on improvisations go and adapt Jazz/blues style. But I recommend that you should first get top at least lvl 5 before doing that, it makes it all much easier once you have acquainted your hands to different kinds of pieces.
At least that's my opinion.

Improvisation isn't one of my best topics but it's something that is a combined result from quick creativity, an excelent knowledge of theory, great technique to be able to exciute anything you wish to at any time, and senseable rhythm. Improvisation in my opinion is something that comes when you've developed other areas and you have also practised your improvisation. Bach was a master at improvisation. I would say that there is no one style that is improvisational. Some are easier than others because some styles require less complex thought process to compose on the fly.
What i would suggest is know all scales and technique very well, learn theory and harmony. Also try composing first, only after you've composed slowly will you be able to compose quickly ( improvising)
Hope that helps.
