Piano Lessons by Waruks (Beginner)
Everyone and I mean, EVERYONE, can learn how to play the Piano. My name is Wachira Warukira or simply Waruks and I will be your music tutor. I have more than 10 years playing piano in church, weddings, and bands. I am also a music producer and composer which gives me an advantage in knowing what is required to kick start your journey as a pianist.
I have created this amazing course for absolute beginners to get an idea of how they can start. I have used simple English to make sure everyone follows easily. Like learning a new language, lots of practice is required to become better.
At the end of this course, the student will have learned the fundamentals of playing piano from naming all the notes on the piano to forming chords and chord progressions. Finally, the student will be able to make simple tunes and simple songs. After you have done this course, you will be ready to enroll for our intermediate course which will enable you add taste to your musicianship as well as enable you to compose music.
The student will be able to:
- Name all keys of piano
- Play the major scale in C
- Form Major & Minor Chords in C
- Form Chord Progression
- Play broken chords – Arpeggio
- Play Simple Tunes and songs.
- Learn best methods to practice
To get the best out of this course, you need access to a Piano/Keyboard or Midi Controller to practice. Each lesson in this course is designed for you to practice daily for one week before you learn the other one. Practice is very key in learning the piano. Set at least 1 hour per day to practice each technique.
NB: If you cannot afford a piano at the moment, you may download an APP called Perfect Piano on your phone which is a simulation of a real piano.
