Description

There are so many people that always wanted to learn piano. But they did not tried it at all because they thought that learning piano is too difficult.

The truth is that piano can be difficult as the level rises. But playing piano is fun and if you want to play for fun then it is not very difficult.

I made this course to bring the potential of playing piano to everyone. You will play with your both hands from the first 30 minutes.

My purpose for this first level is to make you feel comfortable with the piano keys. We'll put our both hands over the piano keys and play music from the start.

We will also use a great software that is Cakewalk by bandlab that is completely free. We'll also download a few free plugins for this program and for every exercise we'll play on the piano we will have the accompaniment of an orchestra that will make our playing more fun.

We will of course learn to read the notes on the staff and the music values. You will see that will the way I'll show them to you it will be really easy to read the notes for both G and F clefs.

We will learn to play chords, and learn to play accompaniment from the start. So, if you like to sing, or you have a friend that plays another instrument you can do the accompaniment part.

We'll see major and minor chords and scales and all these in 7 lessons.

So, jump right in and let's have fun with playing the piano.
