About this course

Enjoy the freedom of making music through:

  • Improvising.
  • Songwriting.
  • You can but you DON"T HAVE TO read music.
  • Very little study needed.
  • Its easy: A sort of "musical shorthand".
  • A technically solid musical foundation. At the same time as having creative fun you will also be learning thoroughly the nuts and bolts of music: using, what I call, the ENGINE of music: the different keys, (music's "coloring box"). With this solid, theoretical ground beneath you, you can grow as a musician in any direction, as far as you wish: classical, jazz, rock 'n roll, you name it...
  • For beginners and advanced musicians. There are even developed pianists who don't know how to improvise ... widen your horizons - welcome to my course.
  • Of the 24 keys, you can learn as many or as few as you like.
  • How the Course is structured:

I use, what I call a "4 Step Routine". This same routine is applied to each key.

Each section covers one key and is divided into 4 lectures, (the 4 steps):

  1. The main part: scales, chords, and the first improvisation - in video form.
  2. Step 1 in text and diagram form.
  3. Improvising melody only, over a recording of my guitar backing.
  4. A simple song you play and sing along with me on video.

This same format is used for each key: (section).

What are the requirements?

  • You can start from scratch. No previous knowledge is required. But advanced pianists, too, have gained from this unexpectedly simple approach to improvising.
  • You will need: an accoustic piano or an electric piano, (with touch sensitive keys) and, ideally, a sustain pedal.
  • An interest in expressing yourself through music.
  • Even if you have never played the piano before and you think you will never be able to - follow this course and the miracle WILL happen! - in the very first lesson! I've proved it over 25 years of teaching this method.

What am I going to get from this course?

  • Over 84 lectures and 7 hours of content!
  • IMPROVISE THEIR OWN MUSIC on the piano or keyboard, in all 24 musical keys.
  • WRITE SONGS easily - using what they have learned through the improvisations
  • KNOW each of the 24 musical keys inside out, they will have become your friends - you can take with you wherever you go.
  • USE THIS METHOD as a sort of musical shorthand" wherever there is a piano-keyboard around - quickly and easily.
