Description

"The Heavenly Piano Masterclass" is an inspiring piano course developed by musician and recording artist Mark Shian to help piano players take their playing to greater heights through the understanding of piano improvisation using the power and knowledge of intervals. His experience in the studio and stage has been crucial to the development of this unique piano course. The goal here was not to just make another piano course that teaches things you can't really apply to real world situations but to really give you effective tools, skills, knowledge, and vocabulary that translates to greater expression on the piano no matter what song it is you're playing.No time is wasted learning unnecessary theory or boring scales. This course is designed to cut right into the heart of dynamic piano playing. The understanding of these principles and techniques can be applied to all styles of music. By the end of this course, you will be able to play and improvise like a professional using techniques not taught in conventional piano education. The course is designed to be accelerated, this means that what would take a typical piano student years to learn through conventional training can be learnt in this course in a fraction of the time. You will be given a unique understanding of playing techniques that will help you develop a sound that is dynamic and unique to you. This is important because Mark believes that every pianist should have a unique musical fingerprint and identity. In light of this, this piano course has been developed to help you discover your own unique sound as a piano artist, improviser, and songwriter. What students are saying :"I can honestly say that this is the best way to learn the piano. The difference with this course and others is that this one will train you to become a musical professional while others will only teach you to play the piano." - Josh B"Finally a course which deals with chord and melody playing on a higher level!

The core of his techniques and methods are taught in a way so it can be applied to any style and genre of music. If you are in a band or worship team and want the tools to be able to express yourself in a way that captures the hearts of the audience, with no time wasted on learning classical scales and pieces that don't help, this program is for you. This course focuses entirely on building you to become a more expressive and dynamic piano player.The course begins with a foundational section to help beginners understand basic music theory concepts before moving to the development stages to improve your playing ability. The intermediate section represents the core of the Masterclass.
