Duane’s Piano Course – How To Think In The Key You Are Playing In
Dear Piano Playing Friend:
To speak Spanish or German or French well, you have to be able to “think” in the language.
It’s the same with music…
Unless you can “think in Bb” when you’re playing a song in the key of Bb, you will leave out flats, miss chords, etc, that are just not necessary to miss.
And since there are just 12 major keys you can play in, I’ve come up with a set of six CD’s which cover those 12 keys:
CD 1: Side One: How to Think in the Key of C.
Side Two: How to Think in the Key of D flat.
CD 2: Side One: How To Think in the Key of D.
Side Two: How to Think in the Key of E flat.
CD 3: Side One: How to Think in the Key of E.
Side Two: How to Think in the Key of F.
CD 4: Side One: How to Think in the Key of G flat.
Side Two: How to Think in the Key of G.
CD 5: Side One: How To Think in the Key of A flat.
Side Two: How to Think in the Key of A.
CD 6: Side One: How to Think in the Key of B flat.
Side Two: How to Think in the Key of B.
I could have titled these tapes
“EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE KEY OF ____
BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK YOUR MUSIC TEACHER”
because on each tape I drill you intensely on the key, so by the time it’s over you’ll know:
…..what each scale degree is
…..what the primary chords are
…..what the secondary chords are
…..what the fingering for the scale of that key is
…..what the relative minor key is
…..patterns that work particularly well in that key.
With each tape you’ll get a sheet titled
“GETTING TO KNOW THE KEY OF____”
On it there is a picture of each key. As you listen to each tape, I’ll ask you to write down on that sheet the things you learn about that particular key. That way, you will get acquainted with each key in a way you never thought possible. Just like each person is an individual with dimples, or long eyelashes, or a hitch in their get-along, so each key has its own “dimples” — it’s own color — things you’ll learn to love about that particular key.

In addition to the six CD’s, I will also include a Bonus DVD video so you can SEE my hands play the notes and the scales of each key as I demonstrate each key.
So that’s it.
If you want to really master a key — and I mean MASTER playing in a particular key, you MUST be able to think in that key. And that’s exactly what this course will teach you do do.
I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity.
Cordially,
Duane
P.S.: Unless you learn to think in each key, you’ll be swimming upstream when you need to play songs in keys which are different that the keys you are used to. Most people feel at home in the Key of C, for example, but are totally lost when playing in the key of Db — just a half-step above C. That’s a shame, because if they only knew how fun and exciting it is to play in other keys, they would spend a little time getting acquainted with those other keys. It’s not as difficult as it might seem, because each key has a personality all it’s own, just like people. So if you like people, you’ll like getting acquainted with these 12 keys, too.
