CONTEMPORARY
KEYBOARDIST - PRIVATE LESSONS
Welcome to CK On line! This course is for professionals or those
who want to be professionals. I’ve been wanting to do
this on line for years and I have finally found the time to
get everything organized. The Contemporary Keyboardist is different
than most instruction methods in that it is organized into a
personal custom course that locates and concentrates on your
weak fundamentals. That is why it is extremely important that
you take the time to honestly fill out the registration form
that contains your history. The goal is to not only to help
you with your music basics but to also help you find your melody,
your expression… to sound like YOU and not somebody else
which is the trap. The first step on this journey is to become
confident with your playing so the real you isn’t afraid
to shine through and express itself. All playing problems stem
from weak fundamentals in the following areas:
Your
assignments will therefore consist of various exercise, drills
and assignments in all of these areas simultaneously. Don’t
just get excited about one area and ignore the rest. Start at
the top of your lesson, ear training and spend a definite amount
of time on each section skipping none! Don’t get stuck
on one section just because you haven’t completed it.
You’ll have two weeks between lessons to be working daily
on each section. At the end of the two weeks, you are where
you are. You send in what you have achieved period. Some things
are fun to do; some things are not. You should practice daily,
at least 5 to 6 days per week and anywhere from 2 to 3 hours
per day minimum if you really want results. Although talent
figures into the equation, it takes mostly hard work, diligence,
discipline and desire (passion) to become a good player, and
oh don’t forget about patience as it takes as long as
it takes!
Sincerely,
John Novello
