Call for registration: Free piano improv lessons for music production

The lessons could teach participants how to make piano beats without having to study conventional music theory, and improve on the piano skills of beatmakers.

The course comprises three models: Essentials of Music Theory for Piano, Guidelines to Play Piano as a Beatmaker, and Course Assessment.

It includes nine topics and takes up to three hours in length. It begins by illustrating the fundamentals of piano and the use of basic keynotes to build a solid knowledge base. Students will explore a detailed walkthrough of C major and minor scales and the visualisation of music production concepts for beatmaking through demonstrative video-based lessons.

The music theory presented in this course will guide participants on how the piano works and introduce the fundamentals of beatmaking. The course will also offer beatmakers a deeper understanding of piano chords and scales, counting beats, different rhythms and a variety of tools and techniques that will add fullness to their compositions.

Interested participants can enrol for the course here.
