What this course covers
A ground-up introduction to piano and music theory aimed at people who have never touched a keyboard, as well as anyone who once learned the basics and has since forgotten them. The course starts by naming the keys of the piano before moving into forming chords and scales, and finishes by showing how a song can be built directly from a chord progression.
Who it's for
Complete beginners, plus beatmakers who want enough music theory to strengthen their production work without committing to a full classical piano curriculum.
Key takeaways
- How to identify and name the keys on a piano
- The building blocks of chords and scales
- How to turn a simple chord progression into a playable song
It's framed as a stepping stone: once finished, the instructor points toward more advanced, genre-specific courses for continuing your playing.
About this course
This course by JFilt is a free offering to those who have never played the piano before and want to learn. It's also for those who may know a little bit but forgot everything they ever learned. It's also for beatmakers who wanna learn some music theory for the purpose of improving their beats and or moving to the next level in music production.
In this beginner course you will learn from the very start so its okay to know nothing (LOL). Topics that will be discussed include naming the keys of the piano, forming chords and scales, and even playing a song from a chord progression.
By the time you get to the end of this course you will have a greater understanding of what it takes to play keys. After this you can continue on with my full course on How To Play 25 Hip Hop Songs right here on Udemy. Or for the beatmakers out there you can continue to learn innovative ways on how to make very sick beats on the Verysickbeats YouTube Channel!
Peace & Positive Energy!
