Course Overview
Perform and sing your favorite songs on the piano! Step by step, easy to follow modern keyboard lessons for beginners
Wielding the piano opens up a whole new world of creative possibilities.
In this foundational course, I teach you how to play piano as a singer/songwriter. It's a unique method that takes somebody with zero musical experience and transforms them into a piano wielding singer/songwriter.
This method has been refined over the last 3 years as I've taught more and more artists in New York and Los Angeles.
Every lecture builds upon the previous lecture. I walk you through the whole process as efficiently as possible, taking every effort to find ways to cut your learning time in half.
Watch the lectures, complete the challenges, and enjoy playing! By the end you should be able to pick a song, adjust the song to most singable key for your voice, and accompany yourself on the piano.
You should take this course if you think you'd have fun playing the songs you love and exploring how piano wielding singer/songwriters like Carol King, Alicia Keys, and Ben Folds express themselves on the piano.
This is a foundational course for beginners. This course is meant to be an alternative to a traditional piano lesson schedule.
If you love playing, writing and singing songs, this course is for you.
Hope to see you on the inside!

Guter Inhalt, Tonqualität könnte aber besser sein (viele kleine Störgeräusche; Audiobearbeitung/Filter wünschenswert)

There are a lot of good useful information in this course but I am not sure about including a lot of basic music theory in the beginning to try to be an all-in-one course. The content should probably be better spent on elaborating the second part of the course, like the bonus section (not sure why it is called the bonus section when it is such an essential part).

its an excellent course but you should work thru at least once before making any conclusions. it is very helpful.

Really great showing me which inversions to use to transition from chord to chord in a very smooth and Pro fashion - Thanks!. It will really help with my guitar based songwriting production as well as piano based composing in the future. I already knew the chord spellings (as I've played guitar for many years) but you really showed me the way with the different and correct inversions to use. The only big improvement I can suggest it to make a looping facility on the player, so students don't have to keep stopping and starting manually with the mouse to learn the rhythms. It's also an irritation to not be able to download the course as I have to fish through the internet to get it started every time instead of just hitting an icon as I do with my Truefire guitar courses. If those two things were in place you'd get a 10/10 everytime! Respect Jules.
