Have you ever encountered a tune that has only one or two chords for the whole tune? Have you struggled to find ways to comp through that same chord without playing the same thing over and over again? Being able to play triad structures through a single chord can help you generate new ideas, build comping (chord) grooves, and provide various options for things to play on a single chord. In this first lesson we are going to cover triads, their inversions and usage. I will also show you how and when to use 7ths chords and chord slashes. Later in the lesson you'll learn 4 different Rock Piano Accompaniment patterns that you can practice. We are also going to use a snippet of the Beatles classic song "I Saw Her Standing There" to show you how to apply different triad and seventh chord options to a rock melody. Once you're done with this lesson, you will have the tools you need to pick up a rock lead sheet (chords and melody) and start creating your own arrangements. If you practice the exercises in the lesson (and sheet music that is provided) you will have all you need to tear it up the next time you jam out on your classic rock songs. Here's what one of my students had to say: "Willie Myette is a brilliant teacher! Ask any question about your piano playing and you can be confident that he has the knowledge and experience to sort out your problem. His videos are chock-full of great stuff taking you through your chosen lesson step by patient step, and the group coaching sessions give you even more insight into the mysteries of, in my case, jazz piano. I've been learning with him for just two months and I can't believe I'm hearing the sounds that are coming out of my piano now - and it's me playing it! Thank you so much Willie!" -Janet

"The Heavenly Piano Masterclass" is an inspiring piano course developed by musician and recording artist Mark Shian to help piano players take their playing to greater heights through the understanding of piano improvisation using the power and knowledge of intervals. His experience in the studio and stage has been crucial to the development of this unique piano course. The goal here was not to just make another piano course that teaches things you can't really apply to real world situations but to really give you effective tools, skills, knowledge, and vocabulary that translates to greater expression on the piano no matter what song it is you're playing. No time is wasted learning unnecessary theory or boring scales. This course is designed to cut right into the heart of dynamic piano playing. The understanding of these principles and techniques can be applied to all styles of music. By the end of this course, you will be able to play and improvise like a professional using techniques not taught in conventional piano education. The course is designed to be accelerated, this means that what would take a typical piano student years to learn through conventional training can be learnt in this course in a fraction of the time. You will be given a unique understanding of playing techniques that will help you develop a sound that is dynamic and unique to you. This is important because Mark believes that every pianist should have a unique musical fingerprint and identity. In light of this, this piano course has been developed to help you discover your own unique sound as a piano artist, improviser, and songwriter. What students are saying : "I can honestly say that this is the best way to learn the piano. The difference with this course and others is that this one will train you to become a musical professional while others will only teach you to play the piano." - Josh B "Finally a course which deals with chord and melody playing on a higher level! I have never got such a push to play more interesting chord transitions and melodic development as in this course. It opens up a new world! This is definitely one of the best courses on Udemy." - Rainer W "This course provides a huge amount of great information. Anyone who devotes the time and attention that the course deserves will improve their piano playing immeasurably." - Steve L "The course was put together in an orderly fashion with alot of love and time. I couldn't believe how good it was to learn and experience techniques that are different from other courses." - Crystal M "Very Beautiful course. Must have for anyone who really want to enjoy piano while learning. Was looking out for such a course from the past few weeks and now I can truly say I have found one." - Lenin F Mark's playing style can be used in all modern singer/songwriter, contemporary, pop, rock, and worship music. The core of his techniques and methods are taught in a way so it can be applied to any style and genre of music. If you are in a band or worship team and want the tools to be able to express yourself in a way that captures the hearts of the audience, with no time wasted on learning classical scales and pieces that don't help, this program is for you. This course focuses entirely on building you to become a more expressive and dynamic piano player. The course begins with a foundational section to help beginners understand basic music theory concepts before moving to the development stages to improve your playing ability. The intermediate section represents the core of the Masterclass. In this section, Mark shares all the techniques he uses to create dynamic sounding piano music and breaks it down step by step to allow you to follow along and adopt. The advanced section of the course covers advanced techniques as well as coaching on musicianship and songwriting. This section also has video examples of Mark playing and singing and showing you how to perform and express a song in a singer-songwriter situation. The Masterclass ends in the advanced section with Mark demonstrating and walking you through four of his songs in his newly released piano solo album "Dwelling in the Glory". Through this process, he explains exactly what he is doing as he is playing the song to help you understand and achieve the same level of playing ability. The Heavenly Piano Masterclass was designed to be an accelerated piano course. The rate of improvement in playing ability and expression should far surpass the speed of conventional or classical learning for the average musician. ******************************************************************** All students who sign up for this course will receive a FREE High Quality MP3 DOWNLOAD of Mark's newest piano album "Dwelling in the Glory" . The download will be available inside the course. ********************************************************************
