Is there a Keyboard/Piano version of Bass Buzz?

[midibassguy]

I am slowly progressing through this course, and I have to say,y Josh and his teaching methods are sublime. Especially for a newbie like myself.

I have a keyboard and piano at home that I would like to learn how to play. And I was wondering if there is a similar program to Bass Buzz for Keyboardists?

And if there is not. Please can you get onto it Josh and find some musicians that are willing to help make one using the same learning principles you have used in Bass Buzz for new starters.

Thanks

Piano / keyboard lesson recommendations

A recent thread about synth bass coupled with a video I recently watched made me think I’d like to bolster my bass playing with improving my keyboard playing / knowledge. Does anyone have any online recommendations for learning keyboard in the style of B2B. I’m happy to pay for the course. Thanks [Cute beagle surprises family by writing a new song! AROO!]

Thanks, but that thread doesn’t appear to suggest anything of worth. I understand what people like myself are looking for. But it’s still pretty bleak out there for those who would like to learn how to play the keyboard/piano from the ground up, as Bass Buzz delivers. Learning from E-Books/PDFs is very hard.

Haha this reminds me of my water spaniel and daughter doing a duet.

Cant help the op with lessons, she’s been doing in person lessons since she was 7.

TBH I don’t think the bassbuzz course format would work well with piano. A lot of it is learning and practicing scales, chords, and chordal music theory.

Also: with piano, basic standard notation literacy and basic to intermediate music theory are essentially mandatory. Piano roll type systems are usable in a DAW environment and definitely how you will program MIDI a lot, but in terms of keyboard skills and composition there’s no real way around it - you’re gonna want to learn to read and the theory behind chords, melody and harmony.

This, 100%. I was 8 when I started piano lessons. From 10-12, I studied with the soloist of the St. Louis Philharmonic, 2 hours each Saturday morning. The first hour was theory on paper. The second hour was on her Steinway concert grand. At the end of those 3 years, I could improvise for an hour. All of that work, theory AND practice, opened up the entire musical world for me. Clarinet, a capella madrigals with 7 part harmony, and bass guitar (sometimes with the left hand when I played my Farfisa Mini with my right) by the time I was 16. Those 3 years studying classical piano weren’t exactly what I wanted to be doing on Saturday morning, but the work paid off in spades.

You know, to me you sound pretty entitled. People gave you their best advice here, and that is still valuable, even if it doesn’t meet your demands
