Regarding: Your Future Keyboard Skills

If you're interested in making the transition to playing electronic keyboards, learning to do so quickly, and without having to spend a lot of money and time on lessons or DVDs, then this is the most important letter you'll ever read.

Here's what this is all about...

I've just released a brand new course called "Keyboard Crash Course: From Piano to Keyboards in 60 Minutes or Less."

This powerful, but simple new course is what you need to turn the piano training you've already got into keyboard skills that can be used to play with a band...

Even if you have to do so by TOMORROW!

And here's the good news...

It's EASY to Take Your Existing Skills and Convert Them WITHOUT Having To Practice For Hours or Learn More Theory!

This is great news for you, because all you have to do is take advantage of my experience and save yourself tons of frustration, time and money !

You now have a chance to learn a simple straighforward process and that really works, does not require a lot of time, and is unavailable in any other instructional guide or from any single teacher. 

If you've ever tried to find this information, you already know it's just not out there, and finding someone to teach you is...well good luck!

But it doesnt' stop there! Besides learning how to play chord notation and handle "lead sheets", you'll also learn how to select the right sounds, how to play with a group, and what to do when things go wrong in a live performance. (Yes, it happens to all of us!)

The information is just  NOT available in one place, and I had to learn it all the hard way over a long period of time.  Why should you? 

I want you to benefit from my experience rather than suffer through it on your own!  

Piano vs. Keyboards...What's the Diff?

Quite a lot, actually. If you've only ever played solo piano or accompanied singers or choral groups etc., you've been the whole "band." You are used to providing all the instrumental sound, and, it's been only one kind of sound - acoustic piano. And, you're used to having a full piano score in front of you.

Now of course there is nothing wrong with acoustic piano - it's one of my favorite pastimes. But playing "keyboards", by which I mean electronic keyboards, is a different animal.

Playing keyboards means electric pianos, synthesizers, even software based instruments running on a computer. And, this will often done in band with other musicians. You are no longer always the leader, and you won't always be using a piano sound.

Playing the sound of stringed instruments (for example: violins, cellos, etc) requires a different playing technique. You can't just pound them out or pedal them like you would a piano part. And very often, you won't be leading the group.

Most importantly, you will not always have a full piano score to work with. You will be given one of several types of "lead" sheets that might have nothing more than chord names and lyrics! You need to be able to translate that into something you can play with both hands.

In other words...

To play keyboards, you need a different set of skills and techniques and you need to think differently about your approach to playing.

And the good news is, I can teach you all this in 3 easy steps in 60 minutes or less without subjecting you to endless theory or practice drills, or asking you to watch 3 hours of DVDs. You can be playing keyboards tomorrow!

Are you planning to play in a praise or worship band?

My musical background is varied, and what I teach you can be applied in almost any kind of band, but my new course is specially designed to help you use your God-given talents in your local church. In the course I use samples of praise music to teach you the fundamentals in an easy-to-understand, straightforward manner.

Here are just some of the things you will learn:

• How to read chord notation.
  
  
• How to quickly find chords on the keyboard.
  
  
• What to do with your left hand when you don't have a full piano score.
  
  
• How to handle the different kinds of "lead" sheets, which is the type of music you will often use rather than a full piano score.
  
  
• The types of sounds settings or "patches" available on electronic keyboards and how to select them, and which ones to ignore!
  
  
• How to leave musical space for others when playing with a group.
  
  
• How to determine what key you're in with or without a key signature.
  
  
• How to properly voice chords.
  
  
• Understand the different roles of the keyboardist in a group and how that affects your playing style.

You can be playing comfortably and with confidence in very little time, if you follow the steps that I carefully outline for you. I haven't left anything to chance or made it complicated, because I want you to succeed.

"Keyboard Crash Course: From Piano to Keyboards in 60 Minutes or Less" gives you complete instructions on how to make the transition to electronic keyboards and will teach you successful techniques for playing in a band.

Think of it as a complete course for piano players interested in learning to play in a contemporary band.

Learn insider tips on how to get started quickly with advice such as:

• How to quickly read and translate "chord name" notation without using a chord chart.
  
  
• Tips on choosing the best, most useful sounds from the hundreds (or thousands!) available on an electronic keyboard instrument. You'll build your own personalized "sound tool kit."
  
  
• Getting the right start:  what you need to focus on now, and what can wait until later.
  
  
• How to recover from problems during live performance.
  
  
• How to fit in with the rest of the band without stepping on other's toes!
  
  
• How to best work together with a piano player when there there is both a keyboardist and pianist in the same group. (The answer may surprise you!)
  
  
• How to play with a safety net. You will really need this when you're just starting out.
  

This is just the beginning of what you'll learn in this easy-to-follow course.  I've covered every aspect of getting started in playing keyboards, and have laid out these steps in an easy-to-follow manner.  Just follow them, and you'll find new skills taking shape and a whole new world of musical enjoyment and satisfaction within your reach.

Important: this eBook is NOT a lot of things.

• It is NOT another "miracle" method that claims to teach you how to play like a pro in a weekend without any prior musical training.   I assume that you already know how to play piano, can read regular piano music, and can keep time.    If you have already come that far, I can take you the rest of the way very quickly.
  
  
• It is NOT for those who aren't willing to put some work, effort and time into learning (although I will teach you shortcuts and easier methods of putting it all together). 

By investing some effort into learning new musical skills, you will see a return on your investment over and over and over again by the satisfaction you will feel and the enjoyment you bring yourself and others. Best of all, you'll avoid the mistake and regret that most people make:  they don't develop their talents and use them because of fear, lack of knowledge, or thinking it will take too much time.

• It is NOT just another hasty compliation of recylcled articles from music forums or blogs disguised as something new.   I don't work that way.  Intead, it's a real educational course (nearly 50 pages of amazingly simple instructions and time saving shortcuts), packed with real, usable, pracitcal advice that you can start using right away.

You'll be mentored through each step as I show you exactly how it's done, from reading and playing chord notation, to selecting sound settings, learning playing techniques and playing with a group. I didn't leave any part of the process out, and cover each step in detail.

This Sounds Great!  What's it Cost?

If you were actually able to find someone willing to show you the things that I'm going to teach you, it would probably cost you $30-$50 per lesson for many months, costing you upwards of $1,000 or more, and a lot of your scarce, valuable time.

My own students would end up paying me many hundreds of dollars to get this nearly impossible to find, yet extremely practical keyboard training material.

But I'm not going to charge you anwhere near that amount. For a very limited time, I am offering my years of experience to you for less than the price of a single lesson at just $14.95.

How can I charge so little? Well, the first reason is that you don't need to book time with me in my studio. You will be doing the learning at your own pace in the comfort of your own home. The second reason is that because this valuable training material is available to you immediately as a downloadable ebook, I have no inventory and no fulfillment costs, and I don't need to pay anyone to take orders over the phone. So I am passing along all of my cost savings directly to you.

This low introductory price will only be available for a limited time. There simply is no other single ebook or DVD available today that brings you this kind of valuable training at any price.
