Without doubt, one of THE greatest things you can do to supercharge your composing and songwriting abilities is to gain greater technique and experience in modern day harmony at the piano.This is an hour long excerpt from the full 8 hour course on Udemy.com. The aim of the full course is to give you a powerful and extensive compositional vocabulary, from the ground up - right up to advanced music theory, chords & harmony. And it does it all through a practical, hands on experience of theory at the piano, and it’s all accessible without having to read any music.---This course was designed for three types of musician, the beginner and intermediateProducerComposer (Film & Games)Songwriter For the beginner, this course takes you from literally ground zero into the building blocks of what makes music work, right up to advanced harmony - without skipping a beat. You’ll learn to write a wealth of different material at the piano and start your composing journey off right with a powerful skillset at the piano.For the intermediate composers, producers and songwriters who are already serious about their craft but feel restricted by never really getting their head around piano & theory - this course covers almost everything you need to know. It’s built from thousands of hours (literally) of experience in private teaching with composers, producers & songwriters with a highly experienced teacher. For those of you who feel your writing ability is held back by your piano, arranging, compositional strategy & harmonic knowledge this course is completely designed for you.And even if you’re basically semi-pro, but think your piano technique, voicings and harmonic knowledge are missing a trick, I still know the course will be of value to you. We cover extended Jazz Harmony, thematic writing, non-diatonic chord relationships and more.---At the end of this course not only are you going to feel more strong and fluent as a writer, you’re going to be able to solve critical problems on the fly whilst composing; things like:‘Where do I start? How do I generate material?’‘I have a chord progression, how do I make it more interesting?’‘How can I make my chords sound more sophisticated?’‘I have a chord progression, but I don’t know where to take it next’‘What’s the musical science behind why that sounds like it does‘I have chords, how do I add a bass line?’‘I have a melody, how do I add chords?’‘I have chords, how do I add a melody?’‘I have a bass line, how do I add chords?’‘My melodies sound a little dull, how can I make them more interesting?’‘If my chords are going to stay the same, how can I make them sound different or more inspiring for the next section?’---Full course here: jvteaching.com/udemy3---At the end of this course, you’re going to be able to:Express yourself and your ideas fluentlyKnow how to compose well & use extended music theory without having to involve yourself in reading music but by understanding simple patterns at the piano.Unleash your writing with tools to unblock the writing process and generate material with easeBe able to write anything from classical music, to jazz music to mainstream music - because the fundamental building blocks of harmony are largely the same.Build interesting chord progressions and choose from hundreds of other options when something doesn’t sound quite rightAlleviate a lot of writer's block! Have specific principles, techniques and formulas for making music work at your fingertipsTeach others the fundamentals of music theory and composition and keep teaching yourself so that you can learn and master piano more and more.This course contains many piano tutorials on piano scales, piano chords, exercises and is the perfect way to learn piano online.

Dave Swift Bass Interview - Jools Hollands Bassist on Going to the Source. LM004 Jack Vaughan 2016-08-21 | http://www.leanmusician.com/episode4Dave Swift has a big CV.Adele..? Amy Winehouse? Know them? ..Chaka Khan, Paul Simon, BB King, George Benson… 'The Beatles'?.For the last three decades, Dave has been the main bass man for Jools Holland. In this interview we hear about how Dave started out, we hear about his journey to becoming a well rounded musician, his early years with Jools, all the experiences with the band & we talk a load about education.Above all, there’s one quote or message that I took away from the podcast & it’s directly hinted at the excerpt at the beginning of the podcast. Often the study of music - whether through education or not - can all too easily become an academic affair - in other words, our effort to study and intellectualise music actually works against us. In this amazing interview, Dave reminds us how important it is to “go to the source” with music - in other words, don’t study things around music, or books etc… but listen, transcribe, assimilate - and then go do your own thing. It’s amazing and deceptively simple advice.I was inspired by this interview & I hope you will be too. Dave’s a great man with a wonderful approach to life. It’s a long interview but I hope you can stick through it - as there’s plenty of Gems in there. :)As always, get in touch if you’re enjoying the podcast - we’d love to hear from for whatever reason - whether just to say hi.Quotes from the interview"Listen more than you play" - Dave Swift"Go to the source" - Dave Swift"Imitate, Assimilate, Innovate" - Clark TerryWhat you will learn about in this EpisodeHow Dave got started in musicHow Dave became a well-rounded musicianWhat it takes to be a successful session musicianThe importance of having a mental repertoireThe dangers of focussing solely on techniqueThe value of listening & the importance of using your ears in musicHow fake-books used to be ILLEGAL!The value of throwing yourself into the deep end before your readyDave's huge library of transcriptionsThe value in mistakesDave's long career with Jools Holland and all the musicians he's collaborated withWhy it's good to not care too much when you perform & focus on enjoying what you are doingDave's method for practicing a new pieceLinks & Items Mentioned in this EpisodeDave's WebsiteJamie AebersoldEpisode Number 1 with William WestneyJade Visions: The Life and Music of Scott LaFaroMusic Mentioned in this EpisodeJoni MitchellGlen MillarJimi HendrixCreamThe Sound of MusicEarth Wind and FirePino PalladinoJulian ArguellesJaco PastoriusWeather ReportClark TerryJimmy BlantonMichael MooreBill EvansDave BrubeckJools HollandReturn to ForeverChick CoreaAdeleAmy WinehouseEric ClaptonBB KingThe Rolling StonesAnthony JacksonHiromiScott LafaroCharlie Haden
