    I am eagerly waiting for the “Piano by ear” course.

    Alphonso

  • Adrian Wood

    Will this really be suitable for keyboard players, or else more focused on guitar?

  • Andy Chamberlain

    It’s very much keyboard as well as guitar focused. That element is built right into the design of the course. In fact examples are worked out and played on keyboard, guitar and bass.

    I have always wanted to learn more in this area, to be more flexible, etc. Please do let us know when it is ready. Thanks much.
