Why are these piano tutorials so awesome?
They’re super engaging and straight to the point.
You’ll learn how to play by feel instead of exclusively relying 100% on reading dots on a page or falling notes on a screen.
You’ll genuinely be empowered to take your music in any direction that you like including creating your own arrangements of tunes you love, learning how to improvise, writing original music, accompanying yourself on the piano or expanding your theory knowledge to help with music production. The sky is your limit. Pretty cool, hey?
