This is by far
the most powerful
piano course that I have developed that will change your piano
life
dramatically as it has done for my local piano students in Hong
Kong.
The
whole focus of the
course is to teach students to play piano in the flow. Playing piano is
more than learning chords, harmony, rhythm and different
techniques. What is more important and often neglected
is acquiring the proper mindset to applying music theory into
our piano playing. When we watch professional musicians
playing, we see their fingers flying over the piano keys quickly and
effortlessly. Their fingers are so relaxed and in perfect control.
Why?
There is something else that is at work in
their
minds.
To
play piano in the flow, you must know yourself and your
fingers. How well do you know yourself? There is a right way of
thinking when playing piano and there is
a wrong way of thinking. The wrong way of thinking does not lead a
pianist to play in the flow. The right way of thinking leads a person
to creativity, to playing intuitively, to experiment with
their fingers and getting color chords, to improvise at the piano and
let music happen. If you do not know your fingers and how they work
together, your whole playing is very tense. When your fingers are
tense and not relaxed, your creativity is blocked.
If
you think that some piano players are more gifted and that they have
hidden talents that you don't seem to have, or that you've practiced
for years and your piano playing is at a threshold, these 7 secrets are
prepared especially for you. The insights in these 7 secrets will
remove the barriers that have been blocking your mind. Once you
understand some simple truths, these insights will work in your mind
over and over again to give you the depth you've always wanted in your
piano playing. Understand how your mind works and how your fingers work
so that you can relax and let music flow out unhindered.
This
course is very UNIQUE. It's definitely not like any piano courses you
see on the net, not even in my own books and online piano courses. This
present course was first pioneered in my local piano workshop in Summer
2008. Since then, the workshop has expanded into different
modules in this past year.
I've
now put together
for you this EXCITING and FASCINATING piano program
so that
you, too,
can
join in the fun & share in all the joys and rewards my piano
students are
receiving.

I've
pondered often whether I should let out these 7 secrets so easily. It
has taken 27+ years to encapsulate each secret into dynamic capsule
forms.
They are gems in their own right. Many musicians and teachers are
unwilling to reveal so much to their students. I also struggled with
this thought in the process of developing this powerful series. But
when I see passionate piano students who are so eager to
learn, their desires tug at my heart that I cannot but want to
share all that I am able to with you all. So this product comes as
a
result of
their enthusiasm and I dedicate this 7 Secrets series to each one of
you
who are buying this course.
The 7
Secrets is suitable
for all levels of piano players. The goal is to give you the maximum
amount of effect with the least amount of effort.
So let
these 7 secrets work their
miracles into your fingers, so that you pay attention to what falls
naturally to your hands to make your music sound good automatically.
Let
these 7 secrets
eliminate the fears
that are holding you back from improvising.

C:
Applying 7 Secrets to Playing Beautiful Runs & Fills
by EAR Sometimes when
you listen to a professional pianist playing and you
hear all these beautiful runs and lush sounding fills, don’t
you
wish
that your fingers can also move quickly on the piano? For many years,
I’ve bought all the books that are on the market that teach
me
how to
do tons of runs and improvisation fills. Some of the runs take a long
time to practice because of the fingering. I also spent so much time
memorizing these runs on printed sheet music that as soon as I stopped
practicing them, I couldn’t do them again. Sigh! What is
memorized is
soon forgotten when you don’t practice. The better I play,
the
more I
realize that to do runs & fills in the flow, you must know how
to
work from basic simple structure of chords in root position &
get
easy inversions with simple handshape and finger tricks. Even when we
advance to 4-tone (7ths) or 5-tone (9ths) chords, there are tricks and
tips for acquiring lush sounding runs into your fingers without
complicating your music theory thinking. Only in this way can we attain
a quiet mind to play in the flow. If the mind is not quiet, all runs
sound mechanical and stiff with hesitation.
Purpose:
To play
different kinds of
fills and runs with easy handshapes
To
understand basic structure
& concepts behind runs & fills
To
play nice lush sounding
ascending and descending runs in the flow
To
make use of R2 to make
beautiful runs spontaneously
To
explore & create the
sounds you want to hear
To
train muscle memory into
your fingers via fun playing finger exercises
To
use polychords to play runs with 6th, 7th, 9th, 13th color
tones.
To
create runs from Chromatic
Scales
To
create runs from Whole Tone
Scales

Module D
Applying
7 Secrets to Playing 7ths
& 9th Chords by
EAR
with good voicing on the FLY
Module
D is
fascinating because in a few short weeks, you learn to play 7th Chords
freely into your songs with good voicing handshapes on the Left Hand
& Right Hand. In Solo Piano, you need to study the following 4
areas: Melody, Harmony, Rhythm & Bass Lines. Module D
will
develop your piano skills in all these 4 areas. You will understand the
importance of the 3rd & 7th tones that define the quality of a
chord. You will learn how to form all 12 Major 7 Chords, 12 Minor 7
Chords, 12 Dominant 7 Chords by EAR without the need to refer to any
chord charts when you play your songs. Once you understand
some
music theory & polychord structure, you will be able to apply
the 4
different positions of 7th Chords into your playing without long
struggles of finger exercises. Trust me. It took me 10 years to find a
short cut path to help students to learn the 7th & 9th Chords
in an
effective and fun way that keep their motivation high. Once
you
learn some piano tips & thumb tricks, you will advance quickly
to
get beautiful color tones into your playing. You will be able to take
out a fake book and play songs after songs without the need to look up
chord charts and to apply good piano techniques to play songs on the
fly with good voicing sounds.
