Description

This course uses the most efficient approach to quickly Master Piano Passing Chords using simple systems and techniques.

These powerful concepts will help you transform your chord progressions by filling the gaps with smooth-sounding passing chords, transitions, and turnarounds.

The course is carefully structured to take beginner players to the intermediate and early advanced levels within a relatively short period of time.

By going through this course, you can easily take your favorite songs and embellish them with powerful passing chords to make them sound amazing.

This course takes a unique approach by linking passing chords to chords within the major scale. For example, by learning 3 different passing chords to the 6 or VI Chord, means that you can apply them to all the songs you already know or will learn in the future as long as there is a 6 chord (which is very common).

I highly recommend absolute beginners with no prior knowledge of the piano to take my course: "The Complete Piano Chords Course" to at least 30% completion before taking this intermediate course.

High-Definition Videos and Digital Piano Display

With an overhead camera and light-activated piano roll, you can easily see what fingers are used as well as the exact notes that are being played.

Who this course is for:

Beginner Piano Players wanting to sound better through Intermediate lessons
Intermediate Piano Players looking for Passing Chords to Enhance their Sound
Advanced Players looking for a system that makes it easy to transpose Passing Chords to all Keys
