In one way or another, almost everyone wants to play the piano or keyboard (or both). Even most guitarists, bassists, and drummers would like to be able to play a few keystrokes. And although it can be tricky at times, it’s not hard to learn with our hands-on approach.
Of course reading music is an issue, but at the OpenMusicSchool you’ll see that there are other more exciting ways to learn to play piano or keyboard. We’ll start off with beautifully easy things anyone can do, and you’ll see that even they are huge fun.
Please keep in mind: the course programs at the Open Music School are not set in stone – they are recommendations. It’s a good idea to watch the videos in the right order and work with them, but you may as well watch clips on other topics, even other instruments. Let’s start with some first steps:

In the know how and playing techniques sections you’ll find many basic terms and examples to explain what they mean and what you can do with them. And, as usual, you’ll find many audio samples to make things practical and easy to understand. The samples can be downloaded by non-members as well.

Ideas and inspiration for playing make up by far the biggest part of the instructional videos. As usual, you can skip ahead whenever you like, or watch the clips in their original order.
The main thing is that you find exciting things which inspire you to come up with your own ideas. And when you have one, no matter how small, record and keep it – it’s your first step into the big wide world of music. But how can you record yourself? Take a look at the sections on studio engineering and composition – everything will be explained there. Have fun!

In the following videos I’ll show you what reading music is good for and why we may as well do without it. But in case you still want to play music from notation, I’ll show you how to make it a lot easier.

Playing drums on your keyboard? That’s possible? You bet it is! But why would you want to do this? Well, the fact is, as soon as you use pre-fabricated elements in your music, you sacrifice a piece of your individuality. And if there is one thing the Open Music School doesn’t want, it is to constrain creativity or individuality.
Therefore, I advise you to record your own beats as often as you can. If you also design your own sounds, you’ll see that your beats will stand apart from everything else that’s around. It will be your beat, and it will carry your signature – and that’s what it’s all about: be yourself. I’ll introduce you to the tools in corresponding videos – drums on your keyboard. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!
