Summary of This Method
This method is aimed at keyboardists who want to structure their practice and take it to the next level, regardless of their style. Guided by Jordan Rudess, keyboardist of Dream Theater, you progress at your own pace thanks to precise instructions, accessible explanations, and exercises designed to produce concrete results on the instrument.
The content covers a wide spectrum: development of physical technique (independence, control, fluidity), solid foundations for improvisation, construction of expressive and effective solos, as well as essential tools for accompaniment and playing in context. The progression allows you to consolidate the fundamentals, then move towards more advanced elements, including phrasing and reflexes typical of progressive rock, without neglecting precision and musicality.
The online audio tracks associated with the exercises are a real asset for working on timing, sound, and consistency, while maintaining a motivating musical reference. Additionally, the 12 solo studies provide an ideal ground to apply the concepts covered and enrich your repertoire. Finally, the summary appendix with arpeggio fingerings and major and minor scales is a valuable resource to optimize your daily routine and gain confidence across the entire keyboard.
