Do you feel like you could be contributing more when playing keys with your band?

I see a lot of keyboard players struggle when trying to blend in with the band. They spend hours learning the songs, downloading sheet music, even searching tutorials online, but once they show up to the bandstand, there's still a clear disconnect between them and the rest of the band. You can feel the drums, bass and guitar locking in as a unit. but the keyboardist is still struggling to find their place in the music. The truth is the path isn't as clear for us keyboard players. Our instrument wasn't originally designed to be a part of a band. But there is way for you to play with authority and integrity while EMPOWERING the other musicians you play with! 

 

Here's what folks are missing... 

The answer is not aimlessly practicing scales and arpeggios, and certainly not learning fancy or riffs chord substitutions! It's how you approach your RHYTHM!

Think about it, before you spell your chords or add your licks, your first element of locking in with the music is your rhythm. Great rhythm gives other musicians room to thrive, which in turn causes them to LOVE playing with you! It's that element that makes even the most basic chords sound professional. You really don't need to dive deep into concepts like altered chords or tritone substitutions in most situations. You just need good rhythm for any artist to be confident that you can back them up. 

The thing is, piano is such a different instrument from the rest of the band. You're not just hitting beats or strumming chords. There are other nuances to consider. But from my decades of experience working as a pro keyboardist,  I've picked up on the different rhythms and approaches that work well in all performing situations, and I couldn't be more excited to share all of these techniques in my brand new course!   

Introducing!

 

A course that doesn't just tell you what to play, but  WHY we play it!

It shows you how your playing functions with the rest of the music, and most importantly, how YOU can apply this same approach to your own playing!

I derive the name "Rhythm Keyboard" from the popular role of "Rhythm Guitar." But while there are plenty of standardized strumming patterns for guitar, there isn't really an equivalent for keyboard players. This course remedies that by giving you countless rhythmic patterns to learn as well as guidance on when to use them!

Each module contains an original song made specifically for you to learn and master the appropriate rhythms in any given scenario. I believe we learn best by DOING, so you'll be playing along with quality videos and backing tracks so you can truly pick up these rhythms and apply them to your own repertoire!
