Description

I have isolated 33 prime characteristics — 33 key elements of piano playing, and put them all in one place in a course titled “33 Tips For Becoming a Great Pianist!”

You’ll get 33 PDF cards that summarize each of the 33 tips — and on the audio lessons that come with the course you’ll hear me explain and demonstrate each of those 33 key elements.

For example, you’ll learn when you should look down at your hands, and when you shouldn’t, and how to keep from losing your place when you do.

You’ll learn the secret of pedaling, and how to make your playing smooth when you want it to be, and explosive when you want it to be. You’ll learn the logic of fingering — why it’s so easy once you understand the principle. You’ll learn the 7 secrets of sight reading fast. You’ll learn how to train yourself to hear intervals of all kinds, from 2nds to 13ths. You’ll learn to recognize chords, and extend them, and substitute them, and how to turn them into various styles by breaking them up in certain ways.

You’ll learn to voice chords in open and closed voicings and how to add color tones.

You’ll learn how to harmonize and analyze and stylize… and tons more.
