Review from Worship Leader Magazine, May 2010

"The DVD goes through 10 current popular worship songs and teaches the keyboard, piano, synth , organ, electric piano, pad lines, and sounds for each. There are five songs on each DVD and each song is presented with a tutorial that goes through each keyboard part played in the different songs. Along with the tutorials, there are backing tracks provided. The first backing track includes all the keyboard parts, while the second backing track removes the keyboard parts for direct and immediate application for the viewer. Each song tutorial is explained thoroughly and concisely with the backing tracks waiting for quick and easy practice....If you already have a good general knowledge of the sounds and functions your particular keyboard has to offer then this is a great find for you....the lessons you learn will transfer to just about any worship setting."

Who is it for?

For relatively accomplished players (i.e. already playing regularly in a worship band using chords based playing) or those who have progressed through Musicademy's Intermediate Worship DVDs.

The Advanced set is designed for people who have all the musical know-how from the Intermediate course but want to explore more about differen keyboard sounds. The Advanced DVDs unpack the multiple keys parts to 10 professional worship song recordings so that you can recreate those sounds in a live setting.

What is there for people between Beginners and Intermediate standard?

Our Song Learner lessons are perfect for people that already know the basics of chords based playing and just want to practice with lots of different songs. The Song Learner lessons are online only (i.e. not on DVD) and sit between Beginners and Intermediate in terms of ability levels.

What else is available to help me practice?

We have a DVD called Worship Backing Band - Musicians Practice Tracks which contains 54 worship songs that you can play along with. Practice is a lot more fun with other people! You can select to take the keys out of the mix so you are effectively the keyboard player with a pro band. The DVD shows on-screen words and chords so if you play the keyboard parts as you watch,
