With the unexpected downtime that comes with self-isolation, each of us has been given a rare opportunity to learn a new skill or take up a new hobby. You could choose to learn TikTok dances, or you could finally use your time wisely and take on something you've always wanted to try, but never had the time. For example: learning to play the piano.
Under normal circumstances, we'd suggest you find a good teacher to show you the ropes, but thanks to social distancing measures, we recommend you turn to the great information superhighway and do some virtual learning. This Learn to Play the Piano and Music Composition Bundle, for example, gives you a whopping 27 hours of instruction on music theory, composition, and arrangement with piano. It's led by three trusted pros in the world of music and is basically the closest thing you'll get to the real deal. Plus, it won't cost you an arm and a leg.
Robin Hall's Pianoforall class kicks things off with rhythm style piano, then takes you step-by-step into ballad-style, blues, jazz, ragtime, and improv. Hall's taught over 250,000 students worldwide and earned a 4.6 out of 5-star rating on Udemy, so even if you're a total beginner, you'll be in good hands.
Next up, you'll dive into arrangement and composing, led by composer and conductor Jack Vaughan. He's been teaching and directing music for over a decade. One student explains his teaching style perfectly: not only does he explain concepts so they're simple to understand, "he shows you right there on the piano what everything looks and sounds like." That hands-on approach is something other courses tend to lack.
And last, but not least, best-selling Udemy instructor and music producer Tomas George leads you through music theory, producing, and songwriting basics. You'll learn the foundations of writing basslines and melodies, the basics of mixing and mastering, how to write chords, how to change key, and more essentials.
Use your isolation time wisely and learn a skill that'll stick with you for life. Get the Learn to Play the Piano and Music Composition Bundle for just £27.18 (usually £575) – over 90% in savings. (Piano not included.)
