My online lessons are geared to students at any level and created to the lesson topics they choose to focus on - rather than just a stock training clip or DVD.  Stock or general DVD videos are great also, but these video lessons are specifically tailored to you and where you're at -  focusing on the topics you want and need. It's the next best thing to a personal 1on1 standard lesson, but even more useful as you can save and reference this material at any time.

Process:

  • Sign up for a video lesson.  
  • Fill out the questionaire regarding where you're at right now with playing, reading music and your current level/proficiency on piano (or organ/keys).
    * Here is where you want to be perfectly clear and honest to the reality of where one is at with their instrument/music - we're setting up a realistic but useful starting point. Sending an MP3' of your level of playing are highly suggested as well.
  • You then request up to 2-3 topics to cover for your 60min video lesson (depending how involved each topic is) and I will make a video lesson outlining the requested topics. You now have a personalized video lesson in which you can download and keep to refer to at any time.
  • You can also follow up with an email with any questions regarding the lesson if you should need to.
  • Follow-up with more lessons at your leisure once you're ready to move on with more.
 
Video Lesson Features:
 
  • 60 minute lesson covering topics of choice (conforming to a max 60min lesson length)
  • direct overhead shot of the instrument (piano or organ) for lesson clarity (or side angle view of all lower pedalwork where applicable)
  • clear audio of instrument and narration
  • lesson specifics will be shown slowly in tempo as well as up to speed
  • in-video text pop-ups where applicable (e.g. - chord/notes, fingerings, specific stop settings, tab settings, tips, etc).
  • deliverable in either windows .wmv 640x480, 1mbps, 128kbps audio
  • Easy payment via PayPal

Lesson Topic (Examples):
  • beginners: hammond organ or piano basics, scales, modes, geography, technique
  • -chords: rooted and rootless voicings, progressions, etc.
  •  reading music and chord charts
  • comping, root movement, chord voicings/inversions/movement
  • approaches to feel: pushing/laying back, swing, funk/blues, straight, rock, approaches to ballad playing to fast-tempo playing, etc.
  • (organ) foot pedalwork basics, basslines and walking, tone management, etc
  • more approaches to solo piano or hammond organ - to playing with a duo/trio or more.
  • (organ): drawbar proficiency: popular settings, tone creations and approach, learning to adjust on the fly/shape your sounds
  •   (Piano/organ): fingerings, proper technique, shorcuts to faster learning and more
...and much more  because it's up to YOU to determine the focus of each lesson.
 

Each personalized video lesson costing $150.00 (low-cost $100.00 lesson fee + $50.00 for final video deliverable which you can refer to).
Think of these as video-taped personal 1on1 lessons which you can take back with you for unlimited referral again and again.
I want to try and keep the cost down as much as possible, and for personalized video lessons designed for each interested student I feel we've done just that.
 
The idea started when I received many emails around the country asking for lesson information, or who might be available in their area for Hammond or piano training, etc. Some students are beginners, some more advanced and I'm trying to design the best approach to meeting these requests and overall quality per lesson. 
 
Important Notes: 
- I am a professional working musician playing regularly, and there may be times when I am away on shows (tours, etc.).  There will be times where I will have to limit lesson requests/orders in order to give proper attention to student lesson requests. 
- Each lesson can be time consuming so please allow proper time in editing your lesson session and delivery to your ftp account. Lessons are delivered to your account as soon as they are complete and posted.
- You will have up to 5 days to download your requested video lesson online video file (.wmv, after which it will only be available to you by request.
- There are limited slots available and all lesson requests are done in order of payment received.  To avoid a backlog in orders I will put a freeze on future lesson requests in order to ensure all previous students online lesson needs are first met.  It's the best route in ensuring a proper lesson and attention is given per video lesson and it's topics.

- Each video will be tagged/watermarked with your account number setup upon each lesson order. In respect, we ask that you do not post or distribute your personal videos in any way, shape or form. These are for you and you alone.
