ANYONE CAN DO THIS! IF YOU KNOW SOME 7th CHORDS, YOU'RE READY! YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO READ MUSIC TO ENJOY THIS PROGRAM! Tired of playing with those same dull, "textbook" piano chords? You are about to learn for yourself that... "You Don't Need To Be a Piano Pro To Start Sounding Like One Beginning Today... Why Spend $1000's For Lessons When You Can Master This Stuff Starting Right Now? The Secrets Revealed In This Program Will Astonish You!" I mean it. I am about to change the way you think about playing piano chords. You WILL TURN HEADS with the new sounds you'll be creating. Just give me a chance to make it happen for you...
FOR AGES 18 - 108! Hi, I'm Dave Longo... In addition to performing professionally in a variety of settings, including providing entertainment for cruise lines, corporate functions, and too many more to list here, I have been teaching people like you for over 30 years. Folks from all walks of life have asked my advice on the subject of piano styling, and the one thing I get asked over and over again: "How can I make my chords sound more interesting, more pro-like?" I'm about to share with you below the one "key ingredient" necessary if your goal is to achieve the same professional sounds the pros do on a regular basis... "It Has Finally Arrived" That's right, a piano chord learning program has finally become available that puts you in the driver's seat from the very first lesson. It's fun... it's entertaining.... it's encouraging... and it works! Let's see why... "The Main Component Necessary" Mastering piano chords is like learning a language. You can have all the words you can acquire at the tip of your tongue... but if you are not confident when its time to put them together and express yourself with them, you'll be up against a brick way when it comes to entertaining yourself as well as your listeners. How do you achieve this level of confidence? You have to THINK differently. The most important asset you need to learn: - If you want to PLAY like a PRO, you've got to THINK like a PRO (but you don't have to be one)
And it's a whole lot easier than you probably think. It's a way of thinking that needs to be nurtured... it's a way of thinking that I spend a lot of time focusing on throughout the ProProach program. It's partially responsible for what makes this program so different... "Why ProProach Is So Unique" ProProach lets you in on what it's really like to look at chords from a pro's perspective. Literally, it reveals to you a pro's approach to playing piano chords! Yes, it actually gets you to think like a pro. And since the art of piano styling is a ongoing creative process, you must approach it from this point of view: having fun is a priority. My presentation of the material in this program is done so in a very informal manner, and now you know why.... and, as already mentioned, It's FUN! "The Basis of ProProach" There's a great wise old saying that goes like this:
You can give a man a fish, and feed him for a day... or you can teach a man to fish,
and you can feed him for a lifetime.
It is this premise upon which ProProach is founded upon. I fully understand that in order for a learning tool to be effective, it must presented with certain ingredients. It must: - Be presented in a clear, step-by-step manner
- Consist of text that is easy to understand
- Be visually appealing, using effective graphics
- Be demonstrative (a video supports each lesson)
- Lead the learner to adopt his or own independence of the need for instruction (you'll see what I mean!)
- Be enjoyable... and you WILL enjoy this!
"Piano Chord Voicings" Sure, we'll have a lot of fun learning new piano voicing strategies. For those of you who are new to the word "voicings," this basically means taking those basic chords you already know and "turning them upside down, backwards, forwards, etc." to achieve those "spicy" or "edgy" piano chord sounds you hear the pros play all the time. Some of what you will learn will include: - 9th piano chord voicings
- 11th piano chord voicings
- 13th chord voicings
- Voicings using fourths
- Rootless chord voicings
- and much more...
and you'll learn: - Why "less is more" much of the time
- Why playing every note in a chord is not always a good thing
- How being a "chord detective" can instantly bring the "pro" out of you
- How to add great sounding chords where they don't already exist
- and much more...
But it goes way beyond this kind of instruction...
"Chord Progressions" Once you learn a new piano chord technique or strategy, what you do with it is what matters, right? You bet! That's why ProProach will have you applying these newly found techniques to actual chord progressions... the same ones that are so widely found in your favorite songs. By the way, we take things even further by using... "Actual Song Excerpts" That's right... we will take actual excerpts of so many popular standard songs and actually demonstrate how to instantly apply the piano chord strategies you are learning. Just a few of these include: - Alfie by Bacharach and David
- Misty by Erroll Garner
- My Love by Paul McCartney
- Over The Rainbow by Arlen and Harburg
- Georgia On My Mind by Carmichael and Gorrell
- ... and, yes, many more of course.
"It Goes Beyond This" Sure, you'll learn new chord voicings... chord progressions... but that cannot be enough. If you truly want to grow into a confident and creative piano stylist, then the confidence and creativity must be fertilized from the beginning, not after you've learned a bunch of new chord strategies... After all, how many words in the English language did you learn before you actually started expressing yourself - and with confidence! When you learned "ma-ma!" or "da-da!" wasn't that enough to put those vocal cords to work immediately! It sure was! Your belief in your ability to communicate was not questioned by you! Truly, this program will not only motivate you, but its inspiring tone is contagious... you will believe in yourself in a way you likely didn't before. "How ProProach Works" Once a week, for a period of 24 weeks, you will be provided a link, via email, that will show you the next ProProach lesson - again, this could be a new piano chord voicing providing that extra "edge" to your playing... or it could be a chord progression played in an interesting fashion, using chord techniques you've learning... Each lesson is sure to add dimension to your chord knowledge and piano playing... you will never be bored! "Easy Chord Formulas" I provide you with easy formulas in terms of chord degrees (in other words, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9) so you can transpose the voicings to other keys - but there is no rush for that. Just take this all one day at a time, enjoy the journey... and before you know it, you'll be way ahead of where you were when you started! You'll have plenty of time to assimilate this information and make it a part of your thinking! You really will gradually be approaching piano chords from the perspective of a professional. And you can take your time with all of this because you will always be able to... "Learn At Your Own Pace" You don't have to keep up to anyone with this process! Yes, you will receive a new lesson each week, but you will have access to your lessons indefinitely! As a matter of fact, throughout the program, I emphasize the importance of this. Everyone is different... every person has his or her own day-to-day schedule... each has their own personal goals. This program was created with YOU in mind. YOU CANNOT FAIL WITH THIS PROGRAM. YOU CAN ONLY SUCCEED. "How Will You Know It's Working?" You'll see this for yourself, but here is an idea of what you will experience... as you progress with ProProach, you will sense an inner feeling of confidence, knowing that you think in more flexible ways... you will actually be more inventive. You'll really start feeling a sense of appreciation for "being hungry for more..." There is another old saying that goes like this: "the more you learn, the less you know" ... only the truly wise really understand the full meaning of this... the pros experience this day after day! Well, you will fully accept this wisdom with gratitude and energy! You truly are in for a gradual awakening! "Result Oriented" ProProach is an eye-opening (and ear-opening) program aimed at getting YOU to achieve results. There is no better time than right now to begin this exciting journey toward piano chord mastery. I have had a ball (literally ... you'll see!) putting this effective program together. I just know that you will not only enjoy yourself, but you will feel differently about yourself each and every time you sit at that piano or keyboard of yours. I truly look forward to our sessions together... "Let's Begin..." You are just a couple of seconds away from beginning your journey toward piano chord mastery... and all the fun that goes along with it! You will be squeezing "juice" out of those keys quicker than you might have thought!
