Piano Encyclopedia Lesson Report: Music Fundamentals Release Today!

October 6, 2008

Hi Everyone,

I’d like to tell you about Piano Encyclopedia’s upcoming release of the Piano Lesson Report I: Music Fundamentals on October 5th at 4pm EST. We’ve shown you videos on how to play certain songs throughout our blog and thought that the Piano Lesson Report could really help you out in actually understanding how to play those songs you love.

It can be difficult learning a song without actually knowing what the keys are called and how they should be played with a certain note, so Piano Lesson Report I: Music Fundamentals could help you understand how to play all those songs you love.

Let me show you some of the things that Piano Lesson Report I: Music Fundamentals includes so you can see what I mean when I say you could actually understand how to play the songs, instead of just knowing what key to push.

Get to know the fundamentals of composing, and improvising:
Discover how mastering scales, chords, and music intervals will take your piano skills to the next level.

Starting right at the beginning: chords, scales, and music intervals explained!

Discover how to use intervals to play any chord or scale type on ANY key, without having to memorize every single note.

Understand why chords sound like they do, find out the relationship between music intervals and the basic chord types.

Master the major and minor triad chords and learn to play them on any key- by using the music intervals.

Get a sneak peak into more complex Jazz and Blues chords and the role music intervals play here too.

Discover the relationship between Scales and intervals, and get a sneak peak into some interesting scales.

Learn what scales or chords are usually helpful in creating a sad, melancholic, romantic, happy or cheerful mood for a song – and understand why.

Get an introduction to all the fundamentals so you’re ready to get into composing and improvising.

We’ve included Tons of Piano Interval & Chord Charts full of graphics, so you can print them out and practice everything right in your piano

And more…

As you can see you will actually get an understanding of the chords, scales, and intervals which could really help you out in the end because every song is created by a chord and then a scale and then intervals.

Check out the following screenshots from the report:

Now if you’d like to get your hands on Piano Lesson Report I: Music Fundamentals but are worried that its going to cost you tons of money, don’t be. Piano Encyclopedia is actually releasing it with no price, meaning you won’t have to pay for a thing. You will get 55+ pages of unique content, over 100+ illustrations, and over 7 piano charts without having to pay a thing. Now if you were to go to a music store and look for the same thing you’d pay an arm and a leg for numerous books that are full of nothing but repeat content in each.

The release will be on October 5th at 4pm EST, but Piano Encyclopedia is actually offering bonuses for those that subscribe to receive Piano Lesson Report I: Music Fundamentals before 4pm EST. If you are interested just simply click on the following title and it will take you there to do so.

Piano Lesson #22 – Apologize by One Republic

September 29, 2008
Piano Lesson #22

View all previous Piano / Keyboard Lessons

You are about to learn:
Artist:
One Republic
Song: Apologize

This is an amazing song that has become quite popular all over the American radio broadcasts with the help from Timbaland. One Republic was a band that not many knew about in various parts of the world, but now everyone is seeming to rave about them.

With the popularity of the song Apologize I thought it would be a great idea to teach everyone how to play this beautifully melodic song. If you haven’t heard this song before I highly recommend you listen to it. Here is a link to a video of this song so you can truly hear what I mean about this song being one of the best. This is the version that includes Timbaland because I feel this version gives you a better feel of the piano and emotional portrayal that it is trying to give its listeners.

I can truly say I myself can be caught singing this song any time I hear it and have downloaded & purchased the One Republic CD just so I can listen to it whenever I want. When you listen to this song the wording with the inclusion of the many different instruments such as the cello and violins just makes the song feel even more put together then most you hear on the top 100 music hits lists now a days.

You are about to learn:
Artist:
Billy Joel
Song: Piano Man

Throughout the site you have most likely discovered many piano tutorials. Now we are going to experience the song Piano Man which has been done by Billy Joel and accompanied by Elton John some occasions. This song is a great display of great musician multitasking with the use of a harmonica, the piano of course, and vocals.

The first video that you will experience will be a fabulous piano tutorial which will take you through the entire songs piano parts. If you take a look at this gentlemens youtube site you will discover he does a lot of piano tutorials, each being just as good as the next. Lets take a look at his well layed out tutorial.

He does the tutorial so well you will be able to go through it just a few times and have the song pretty much down pat.

Throughout the world you will discover many covers done of Piano Man but none quite like the next video you will take a look at. He is capable of doing all the things that Billy Joel does himself, including the harmonica and vocals. It is one of the most amazing covers I have ever seen in my entire life.

Now that you have sat here through the tutorial and one of the best covers ever, I think its time we take a look at Billy Joen himself and a special guest known as Elton John playing this song live. This is a great version of the song done by these two amazing singers.

All the camera angles of that video were done fantastic. Hope you enjoyed that as much as I did. I know I have been singing this song in my head all day long since I watched this video.

Now that we have learnt the fascinating song Piano Man it is time to rest our fingers and begin our next upcoming tutorials. Bookmark this blog, there are new posts coming your way.
