Piano for Songwriting Volume 1!

An online, work-at-your-own-pace course that'll teach you everything you need to write songs on piano. We'll discuss chord theory, harmony theory, how to write memorable melodies and how to arrange for piano. Even a total beginner will be playing and writing within the first hour! This course is also excellent for producers or arrangers looking to be more fluent while writing bass lines, string parts, vocal harmonies etc. Extensive ear training will help you be able to play any song you hear on the radio. And, hey, you might just have some fun !

NOTICE: Once you purchase, we will contact you via the email address you give us at checkout with access information within 24 hours. :-)

This one course has the equivalent amount of information that I'd typically teach in about 7-8 hour-long lessons.
