How much more
exciting
would your piano playing be if you used...
"Runs & Fills Galore!"
(The course is no longer on cassettes & video -- now on 6 audio CD's &
1 DVD video)
How would you like to be able to use at
least 46 different kinds of piano runs? And not
just runs, but also fillers, tricks, special effects, riffs and
embellishments of all kinds?
That's exactly what this fantastic
audio CD course teaches -- runs that you only DREAMED
of in the past -- runs you've heard on tapes or
CD's, TV, and radio -- runs you didn't know how to do, but wanted to.
Picture yourself playing those
LIGHTNING FAST runs up
the keyboard and back down in time for the next chord, or playing
CASCADING RUNS down the
keyboard for a WATERFALL
of wonderful sounds! Plus you'll learn mordents, inverted mordents, trills,
turns, tremolos, grace notes, glissandos, fillers galore, cocktail-piano
runs, plus gospel-style runs as well as "blues runs" based on the blues
scale! You get each run on music paper and demonstrated and explained in
detail on CD, so you can both
SEE
and
HEAR
exactly how to play each run!
Here's how you can add runs
& fills to your piano playing!
Here are the 6 audio CD's that make up the
course:
1.
"Cocktail" Runs
--The lightning fast runs used by the great "show" pianists. One hand runs,
two hand runs, open-octave runs, tremolo-blasted runs, cascading waterfall
runs and more. Made famous by such names as Eddy Duchin, Carman Caballero,
Liberace, etc., but also used tastefully by many others, such as Roger
Williams and many "pop" piano players. You get a "Capsule Summary Sheet" of
Cocktail Runs in print, plus the audio CD. (If you don't want the entire course,
you can order this separately at the bottom of this page.)
2.
Embellishments Galore
-- Mordents, inverted mordents, trills, turns, tremolos, grace notes,
glissandos, etc. These are the "finesse"
techniques that give your piano playing class
and grace.
Virtually NO amateur piano players use these, so you're putting
yourself in a class usually reserved for professional pianists. (If you
don't want the entire course, you can order this separately at the bottom of
this page.)
3.
Piano Tricks -- How do you make your piano
sound oriental? How do you make it sound like a drum? How about a music box?
A bell? Latin? Country? You'll learn it all on this tape. (If you don't want
the entire course, you can order this separately at the bottom of this
page.)
4.
Evangelistic Runs
-- These are the octave runs and fillers used by the great gospel pianists
of past and present. Learn to use the "Rudy Atwood" octaves runs and other
evangelistic piano players. (If you don't want the entire course, you can
order this separately at the bottom of this page.)
5.
Jazz & Blues Runs
-- You will learn the "blues scale" and how to run it up and down the
keyboard. You'll also learn blue note-crunches, slides, etc. These runs are
very useful not only in jazz and R & B, but also in "black gospel" (I hate
to use that term because it sounds racist, but people use it to describe a
certain type of gospel music, so I reluctantly use the term...but only in
that sense of the word), fusion, and many rock-pop songs. (If you don't want
the entire course, you can order this separately at the bottom of this
page.) Note: This course is NOT for people who already play jazz, but
for those who are LEARNING to play jazz & blues.
6.
Fillers Galore
-- You'll learn how to fill up an empty measure with a counter-melody; how
to create an intro; an ending; how to make a "turnaround", plus fillers of
all kinds. (If you don't want the entire course, you can order this
separately at the bottom of this page.)
If you order these 6
audio CD
courses as a set with "Capsule Summary
Sheets"
of each
they will come in a big 3-ring binder. You'll love
it!
but...
If that were not enough...
You also get our
fantastic DVD
(video)
on
"Piano Runs
Galore!"
"How To Add Fills & Runs
To Your Piano Playing!"
If you ever wanted to be able to put runs, echoes, and fillers in your
piano playing to give it a full, professional sound,
then watch this DVD -- because Duane shows you how to do just that
note by note, step by step! Using the
song "Greensleeves" as a model, you'll learn how
to "fill up the empty spaces" with scale fragments, chords, broken chords, and
so on. You'll hear Duane create 8th note runs
(and explain how as he is doing it), 16th note
runs, 32nd note runs, triplet fills, and many
combinations thereof -- some so fast you can't even
see which notes are being played until Duane
demonstrates in slow motion up close.
You'll see the fantastic
"cascading waterfall runs", the fabulous
"pro straddles", the exciting
"tremelo-fired runs" and lots
more! Learn how to "fill it up" and take
your piano playing to the next level!
If you love those
fantastic runs and fills you hear
the pros use, this is the
course that will teach you how to do it!
