    The Song Robot Teaches Jazz!

    After so many replies and interest in the new Song Robot software I recently announced, I’ve decided to do another quick demonstration that shows how to use the software to learn practically any genre out there.

    In this video, I show you in just a few minutes how to find a famous jazz song and open it in the robot software. Then at the end, I let the entire song play through (giving you the opportunity to pick up some of the licks in there — but you’ll want to get Song Robot so you can have full control.)

    Cool new enhancement to the blog

    I been working hard for ya’ll!

    Listen, I’ve always wanted to include pictures of keys in my blog posts but it’s just too hard to create them each and every time, so I resorted to just plain text…

    My good friend is giving away his “Piano Recording Secrets” course for free to 79 of our students.

    MidiJam: A midi player taken to the next level

    midijam midi visualizationOk, so I’m on the net and I come across this post about a free program that visualizes your midi files in a whole new way.

    You’re probably familiar with Van Basco Karaoke, which takes your midi file and displays it on a piano screen. It’s great for learning how to play any song, if there’s a midi file available for it on the net. You can even slow stuff down and transpose to any key of your choice.
