Keyboard Lessons (ePub)

Isn't it the dream of every keyboard player to be as fluent as water when they play this versatile instrument? To undertake every key individually and be comfortable with the instrument so they can mesmerize the crowd? Indeed, it is. Every keyboard player wants to become as everlasting and legendary as keyboardists Ray Manzarek and Geddy Lee, who claimed their spot on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but even these world-famous musical celebrities will tell you that being a pro isn't an overnight game, and it never comes easy.

Did you know that Ray Manzarek, Rick Wakeman, Jordan Rudess all played the piano for years before they became locally appreciated? Afterward, it took even more time for them to become internationally recognized for their keyboard skills. None of these evergreen stars became their fantastic selves in a day or two. So, if you're expecting that from yourself, stop right there.

If you wish to evolve into a professional, renowned artist, you must understand that there are two phases of any career: the beginner stage and the professional stage. To leap from one step to another, you must be willing to make an effort. Believe it or not, most keyboard players assume that since they are comfortable with a keyboard now, it is enough, but it is not. There are some very clear and significant differences between a beginner and a professional player. These differences are easily noticeable and make a significant impact on your abilities as a musician. Unfortunately, many talented artists fail to realize this. They stick to the beginner's stage and tend to stay there forever because it's in their comfort zone.
