Go further with your keyboard chops
Go further with your keyboard chops
In Piano Keyboard Skills - Level 2, you’ll go deeper with practical keyboard techniques and your overall musicianship. Get your musical ideas onto the piano keyboard by studying things like seventh chords, inversions, blues patterns, chord progressions, sight-reading, and transposition. Play from charts for popular songs before writing your own melodies and harmonies. Class meets for two hours per week for a period of 10 weeks, guided by a pro keyboard instructor in small groups. Once you've learned the keyboard skills shared by professional musicians, producers, and composers, your own music is sure to improve.
