Keyboards are a great instrument to either play for personal
enjoyment or as the missing link in most bands. The great thing about playing keyboards is
that you can get use to hearing what its like playing along with a band,
as most keyboards come with a backing, which on decent keyboards you’d
be hard pushed to tell that a real band isn’t actually playing with you.
It’s a great training method to get you ready for joining a band.
We teach sight reading initially then move you on to experience what its like
as taking the role as a keyboardist in a band, and how you have to adapt your
playing to fit into a group.
