Musicademy Beginners Worship Keyboards Course Review
It's not always clear when it comes to playing the keyboard for worship. Do you play a melody, improvise, provide rhythm, or a
little of everything? The Beginners Worship Keyboards Course, by Musicademy, delivers a fresh new approach to
learning keyboards which shows you exactly what to do when, where and why.
The Beginners Worship Keyboards Course is built upon a chords-based playing method and is contained on four DVD's. The piano
lessons are taught using well known worship songs and hymns in different keys using major, minor, and slash chords to deliver that modern,
contemporary sound. The method is simple, yet very effective.
This course is great for many, many, many reasons. First, I love the DVD's. They are very well shot and you can go to their
main website and download all of the chord charts. Second, there are tips and hints from, Matt Redman, Brenton Brown, Vicky Beeching, and many
others. Third, the songs are well known modern songs that are used today in praise and worship music as well as some of the standards. The
songs also have backing tracks with vocals and a guitarist playing right along with you.
Conclusion:
Lesson Materials - The lesson materials are all great. All four DVD's fit in one DVD box. The chord charts are located at their
main website which is fitting to me.
[rating:5/5]
Lesson Instruction - Chord based piano playing is very different from melodic playing. They do a wonderful job of presenting the
material in a clear beginner style approach. The piano lessons start very slow and once a solid foundation is given, you're able to move
along at a fairly quick pace. The lessons are also shot with a clear overhead view of the keyboard so you can see everything the instructor
is doing.

Fun Factor - These are awesome when it comes to having fun. It's not always easy to find a band to practice with. These DVD's give
you just that. The best part I found was the song selections. If you are into praise and worship music you'll know these songs and you'll
have a blast playing them.
[rating:5/5]
Value - The box set with all four beginners DVD's can be had for under $100 or you can purchase them separately for about $30
each. The course is structured for a years' worth of piano lessons. I think they are worth every last cent!
[rating:5/5]
The Beginners Worship Keyboards Course is a thorough and pleasurable look at playing worship keyboards as a chord based
instrument. It will get you at an advanced beginner level but you do not have to fear because they have a follow up course for the
intermediate level.
This box set gets a 10 from me. The instructional material is very solid and presented in an enthusiastic manner. The songs are
very inspiring. The skills learned are essential. If you've always wondered how to play worship piano with a group or how to accompany a
singer then this is it.
