Michael Bereal has been playing the piano ever since he could spell the word “piano.” For over 25 years he’s perfected his style, which is recognized and referenced by musicians and listeners all around the world.
He’s played piano, organ, synthesizer, and bass for a countless number of gospel artists like Donnie McClurkin, Mary Mary, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Beverly Crawford, Judith McAllister, Tonex, Kim Burrell, Kurt Carr, Renee Spearman, Norman Hutchins, Alaska Mass Choir, Karen Clark-Sheard, Dorinda Clark-Cole, Twinkie Clark, Marvin Sapp, Juanita Bynum, Bishop Noel Jones, Soul Seekers, Smokie Norful, Denetria Champ, Doc Powell, Olivia Williams, Eddie Baltrip, Coko, Bishop Paul Morton, and many more. He has also produced many of their albums.
Michael is also the head keyboardist at West Angeles Church Of God In Christ, where Bishop Charles E. Blake is the pastor and Presiding Bishop over the entire Church Of God In Christ (COGIC) denomination all over the world!
He’s cited on gospel music forums across the net and referred to on video sites like youtube by musicians all around the globe.
I trust very few people over him to deliver fresh, practical, easy-to-understand techniques and principles to playing contemporary gospel music by ear!

Why aren’t the videos available? That’s the easiest way to learn. Otherwise, it’s just a recording, although beautiful to listen and read about. Thank you.

This DVD is more than awesome!! I have been playing for years and it has taken my playing to the next level! The course is so user and student friendly! I love the way he plays it slow and up to tempo so you can play along if you choose.
When is the next DVD coming out?
