HOW TO PLAY KEYBOARD LIKE A PRO
Any realistic or electronic instrument can now be called up in virtual form, and performed using any computer and MIDI keyboard. Why not conduct a software orchestra, or play a grand piano from your laptop? Yet all of this technology is wasted if your basic keyboardplaying skills aren’t up to scratch. Piano lessons are the usual way to learn, but the majority of teachers focus on classical music. That’s why this month, we bring you the definitive start-to-finish course, to help you hone your skills on the black ’n’ whites from hand positioning and fingering techniques through to scales, chord playing, synth programming and much more. And every tutorial comes with a live-action video (that’s fifteen in total!) so you can follow along and learn in real time.
