Fully updated, this course replaces and supersedes Learn Piano for Beatmakers & Producers

There are tons of videos on the internet in regards to learning the piano, but over years of producing beats, we’ve realized we as beatmakers play the piano differently than someone trying to learn classical piano.

As a beatmaker, we create repetition. We create loops that are on repeat over and over, and our goal is for these loops to be extremely catchy. (Also keeping in mind for our other instruments in terms of mixing for clarity.)

This course covers the basics of a piano, how keys, scales, and chords work, creating powerful chord progressions and melodies, playing your keyboard with both hands, and much more!

Learn how to play the piano and make incredible chord progressions and melodies, just like the pro’s!
