Customer Reviews
“We have been using both the guitar and keyboard DVDs for our worship team this year and have really enjoyed being stretched and challenged in our technique. They have been really helpful. People in the fellowship often comment on how much the team has improved.”
Rashell Beya, Devon
"Great product!!! I have been playing worship keyboard for about a year mostly self-taught and had got to the point where I was going nowhere. These worship DVDs are taking my playing to a new level already. The teaching is so simple and easy to understand whatever level you are at. You will be playing worship songs in days!"
Kazeem Adediran, London UK
"The Beginners series is excellent, especially with the free downloads from the website of the music it is simple to follow and very thorough. I've picked up the techniques quite quickly, but it's great that I can go at my own pace and stop and start when I need to practice more on any lesson. The interviews are helpful and inspiring. To learn that Matt Redman can't read music was a great encouragement to me - if it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me!"
Customer in West Sussex UK
"I am really pleased with the beginners keys DVD, I am already leading worship using keyboard on a few songs as a result. The theory is helping my guitar playing as well (a spin off I hadn’t necessarily expected)."
Don Littlejohn, Bracknell UK
"Musicademy is certainly making a name for themselves as a preeminent worship musician instructional group.....With the beginner's set, you could jump in without ever having touched the keys. The teacher walks you through chord-based playing instead of musical score. This makes it ideal for someone looking to get in quickly with all the tools they need for most church worship styles. The Worship Keyboards Course is another great release from Musicademy."
