    Description

    Have you been playing the piano for a while, but wondering how to begin soloing? Maybe you're comfortable with chords and some single notes - but don't know how to translate those into creating your own riffs? This is the course for you! In "Solo Through the Modes on Piano," I'll take you through the first concepts needed to begin playing your own solos.

    This course focuses on the mode shapes on the keys. The modes are seven unique shapes that all fit together to create one master shape that covers the tones in a key. The master shape can be used as a guide for knowing which notes fit into that key - and we can solo within that shape! 

    We're also able to solo within the seven individual shapes, using each one in a different context, as each one has their own "feel" or "vibe." We'll be covering the shapes themselves, but also how they fit together with one another, how they fit into a parent key, and the "feel" of each one.

    Finally, knowing the shapes is a wonderful thing - but we're going to learn how to use them! We'll be covering two tools to turn our shapes into solos, called transition notes and chromatic notes.

    We'll also talk about how we can manipulate riffs we create to fit over chord changes in a progression.

    By the end of this course, you should have a good understanding of what notes work together, how to use shapes to build lead lines, and have a root knowledge of soloing that will set you up for success as you progress into more advanced soloing techniques. Let's get started!

    (Note, this course comes with a full book on the modes on the piano. This book covers individual shapes, how modes relate to each other, and basic theory concepts. It is highly recommended that you download the PDF and use it in your learning).

    Who this course is for:

    • Strong beginner pianists looking for the next steps of playing
    • Musicians looking to begin writing their own riffs and piano solos

    Hey there!My name is Jacob, I'm an audio/visual producer and teacher on the East Coast of the USA. I have been self-employed since 2014 working both as a musician and photographer/cinematographer.I have found so many uses with the tools to create your own music, shoot great video and take great photos. Starting a small business? You can create your own cinematic advertisement, company jingle and nail your Instagram feed. Just want to have fun and capture memories? Playing an instrument is the greatest hobby, and the perfect photo is timeless.THE QUALIFICATIONS:I attended Berklee College of Music in 2014 and began teaching multiple instruments in a local music studio. I then became an audio engineer at that same studio, eventually partnering with companies such as PreSonus and opening my own space in 2020. During this I was heavily engaged in cinema - filming commercials for businesses, music videos, and taking engagement/real estate shoots.I'm always available for questions and comments at my website or my socials.
