Subscribers to Pop Piano Accompaniment<\/a><\/em> will be pleased to know that I just uploaded three new lessons to the course — you can preview them here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m particularly thrilled to be offering the one called “Voice Leading: How to Connect Chords Beautifully While Bringing Variety to Your Playing.”<\/a> As I say in the video:<\/p>\n

I always love teaching this lesson because it’s a way for students to go beyond copying, and move very gently into creating<\/em>. With the tools I offer here, you’ll no longer be dependent on me or anyone else to tell you what notes to play. From now on, you are your own arranger.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But there’s another reason I’m feeling so good about these new tutorials. You see, I began creating my DoctorKeys courses about 8 years ago. And up to now, the lessons have focused on skills that are best described as basic. As a teacher, I’ve always found the early stages of piano study to be genuinely exciting, so making these videos has been a pleasure.<\/p>\n

But as I watched the new video on voice-leading one last time before uploading it, it suddenly occurred to me: we’re not in Kansas anymore! In this lesson, I talk to my online students quite differently than I have up to now, presenting ideas and skills I myself didn’t master until I was in college, at a music conservatory.<\/p>\n

And I have to say, it feels great to have arrived at this point. (Though I will never want to forsake the thrill of helping beginning piano students take their very first baby steps.)<\/p>\n

Of course, what makes this new stage possible are the Play & Sing tutorials that lay the foundation.<\/em> Judging from these testimonials<\/a>, and well over a million YouTube views, it seems clear that those earlier lessons are doing exactly what they’re designed to do: getting folks off to a great start at the piano. Or, in the case of you more advanced players, helping you learn new “tricks” and discover entirely new ways of being at the instrument.<\/p>\n

Anyway — I couldn’t resist crowing a bit today. Enjoy the new lessons!<\/p>\n

Best,
\nBruce<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
