Learning the piano can be a challenging task especially when you don’t have a teacher to take you through a defined learning path. In this course, I will take you step by step from the basics of the major scale to the use of chords and progressions when playing songs.
All the explanations will be done in the key of C Sharp from the beginning to the end to help you understand the concepts progressively. I; choose to teach using this approach because moving from one key to another can be very challenging for beginning piano players.; The course includes practical song examples ranging from hymns to praise and worship songs popular in churches around the world. Our main focus is on playing church music. Piano players playing in church will find this course very beneficial.
