Piano Lessons For Producers

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!

Course Summary

Piano for Beatmakers will teach you how to play the piano from a BEATMAKER’S perspective.

Classical piano players and Beatmakers have many similarities, yet many differences. This course focuses on what is necessary as a beatmaker to play the piano through improvisation and many other powerful tricks to get the most out of your piano playing and MIDI note programming in your beats.
