"Pop Piano Playing Simplified"

Learning to play "pop" piano consists of three inter-related steps:

• You learn to read the melody line only (the tune) of sheet music (or a fake book);
• You learn how to read chord signs and play chords;
• You learn how to create a "rhythm bass" in your left hand with chords. If you thoroughly digest and learn these three steps, you can play most any popular tune ever written from the great standards to the hits of today.

"How To Predict Which Chord Comes Next!"

     This course is the only course in existence (as far as we know) which shows how to predict with 80% to 90% accuracy (hey -- nobody's perfect!) the next chord to occur in any piece of music!  It's not magic -- it's just knowing some things. To be able to do this you must know "the ladder" and the "prediction chart" -- the two elements that are taught so clearly in this unique, one of a kind course. After taking this course you should be able to predict the next chord in any song with at least 80% accuracy. Think how valuable this could be to you when playing by ear or when improvising with other musicians! (We could put a price tag on this course that would bankrupt small nations, since this is the only thing of its kind in the entire world, as far as we know.)

"Chord Progressions & The Riffs & Runs That Flow Out Of Them!"

     Here is a chord progression:

           I     VI     II      V7

     It is commonly referred to as the "Blue Moon Progression", because those are the first 4 chords of the song by that name. But you can use that chord progression not only in "Blue Moon", but also in "Heart & Soul", "Polka Dots & Moonbeams", "It's the Talk of the Town", and hundreds (if not thousands) of other pop tunes. You can also use the exact same progression in the gospel song "He's Everything To Me", "I Am Not Worthy", and many others.

     So if you knew the progression..I mean really knew it -- you could play countless songs, and portions of countless others!

     This same chord progression also makes an excellent intro to most any song. This same chord progression also makes a great "turnaround" in dead spots in a song, as well as for use between verses. All of this from just one chord progression!

     In this 6-cassette course I will teach you a DOZEN chord progressions, and you will hear me play each chord and explain each progression in detail. You will hear me make RUNS & RIFFS out of each progression -- runs & riffs you can use, no matter whether you play gospel, R & B, pop rag, jazz, or whatever. By learning a few runs & riffs which flow out of each chord progression, you will actually be practicing the "fancy stuff" you can then include in thousands & thousands of songs!

     You will get six cassettes where I demonstrate & explain each chord progression in detail, and you'll also get a big book which has 96 pages of progressions and show every note of every chord progression covered in the course. You'll also get a big 2-color binder to hold it all!

     If you could come to my studio and I taught you the very same material in person, it would take several months and cost  thousands of dollars. But it would be well worth it, because you would have the "ammunition" in your mental storehouse that 95% of piano players don't have!

     Now you can save the thousands it would cost and take the same program at home for a tiny portion of it's true value!

    "I have been a subscriber to a number of your courses over the past 5 years, and learned a lot too. Recently I subscribed to your course on " Chord Progressions, Riffs & Runs" and I want to say that you have packed more information in this course than I ever expected. Congratulations. It's a great course."
