What you might expected in this course?
The basics of intervals, you'll learn how to count them and what are their names. Intervals are the core of ANYTHING piano/keyboard related.
Chromatic scales are the core of ANY other scale. All of them use the chromatics as the fundamentals.
Learn how to form ALL 12 major scales with ONE simple formula!
Learn how to form ALL 12 minor scales with ONE simple formula!
Learn the famous "circle of 5ths and 4ths" as well as how the parallel scales work and what they are used for.
Learn how to form major and minor chords by utilizing a simple formula for counting intervals.
Learn how to form diminished and augmented chords by utilizing a simple formula for counting intervals.
Learn how to form any chord inversions (turns) in any key, in any type of chords. How to use them and their benefits.
You'll learn the degree names for ANY scale there is, as well as the names of the intervals beyond one octave. If you can count from 1 to 15, you'll learn this pretty fast! This is highly recommended priority lesson. Do NOT skip. :)
What are the 6th chords and how you can form them with a simple formula? The 6th chords are the extensions beyond the quintachord and in this lesson, you're going to learn how to form them just by being really good at counting intervals.
Learn how to properly form septachords, known as 7th chords, or dominant chords. There are 4 types of basic 7th chords: major 7th, minor 7th, minor major 7th, and dominant 7th chords. The formulas are also used for these.
Learn how to play the chords that extend beyond the 7th chords, by using simple formulas of counting intervals in a correct way. You'll get acknowledged with the 9th, 11th and 13th chords.
Learn how to form altered, add, and suspended chords by utilizing simple formulas of counting the intervals in a right way.
Each scale has chords in it, but only thing that matters here is how to form the chords using only scale degrees? Let's find out more in the lesson of building chords on scales.
Learn the core fundamentals of using your hearing to know the difference between chord types, the emotions of the sounds you're hearing, and how to form roman numerals so your can practice your chord progressions in a more efficient way.
We're getting acquainted with the form of the rhythm; the very core essence of the music, as without a rhythm, the music is not music. You're going to learn how to play in 4/4 and how to do harmonic progressions in 4/4.
Learn how to play "Happy Birthday", your actual first song, on the piano! You'll learn the melody line, and how to do the left hand comping part, where the harmony is.
Learn how to properly use diminished and augmented chords in this lesson where you'll see the generic usage of these chords and the possibilities of where they can be added in a harmonic progression.
Learn how to properly use dominant, major and minor 7th chords in a general way. These types of chords are widely used in any musical genres.
How to use the half-diminished 7th chords in a generic, unique way, as these chords are strongly related to the dominant 7th chords.
There's a typical use of the major 6th and minor 6th chords, and in this lesson, you'll see where you can fit them to make your harmonic progression sound even more awesome!
The suspended (sus) chords are used in most of the western types of music, as their sound is something in between the major and minor chords, and they perfectly fit within. Learn more about them in this lesson!
Handle the melodic minor and harmonic minor scales like a pro! You'll get easy formulas for these scales in the same way we did major and minor scales in the beginning of this course. Learn how to use them in all 12 keys immediately!
Learn the pentatonic and blues major and minor scales in this lesson, and see these easy formulas for these scales in the same way we did major and minor scales in the beginning of this course. Learn how to use them in all 12 keys immediately!
Secondary dominants is a technique which allows you to reharmonize your chord progressions in a very unique sounding way. There's a formula for these methods as well as anything else in this course. You will learn how to properly use this in a generic way.
Tritone substitutions is another method of reharmonizing your chord progression in a unique way. This sounds very jazzy and you could accommodate yourself well with this technique! Be careful! :)
Learn the core fundamentals of functional harmony and see how what are cadences in music theory, and how they work.
Modal interchange chords are actually chords you can borrow from parallel keys or scales. See how this works and how to use this properly, followed by couple of examples with schemas.
Want to amaze your friends, your family, your work colleagues? Or you want to pursue a professional career as a pianist/keyboardist?
You'll learn everything - from core basic fundamentals of playing the piano and keyboards, up to the most demanding advanced stuff which use professional players, simply by using formulas along with theoretics which were made to avoid from being boring.
• No experience needed
• These lessons work for pianos and keyboards (synthesizers as well)
• The practice needed is 20-30 minutes per day
Why would you choose this course?
• BASICS:
We've got your covered. You haven't even touched a piano/keyboard ever before? All good. This is explained from the very basics to the really advanced level of playing. Everything is in ONE place - in ONE course.
• SHEETS for THEORY and PRACTICE SHEETS too:
We got you covered here, too. Additional sheets for theory are available, such as finger positions for scales, etc. But after each lesson, you'll do some assignments to see if you understood everything correctly. Once you do these, you can check if your answers are correct with the answers sheet which is provided as well.
