Build Piano Skills: Progressions, Basslines & Arpeggios

Grow your passion for piano in this beginner-friendly class — part of the Complete Piano Learning Path that will take you from novice to intermediate player!

Multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and composer Elijah Fox fell in love with piano when he was a child. Now a successful professional musician with more than eighteen years of experience, he’s here to show you how to do the same. Building on the basics, Elijah breaks down the complex steps of chord progressions, bass lines, and arpeggios into simple movements, ensuring that you’ll be able to not only grasp the information, but incorporate it into your own practice. 

Elijah’s hands-on lessons will introduce:

• The importance of inversions and arpeggios, as well as how to practice them
• How to find chords in specific keys using the circle of fifths
• Your best accompanist as a pianist – yourself! 

Plus, Elijah shares how he mastered these techniques himself, as well as a final demonstration set to a song you might just recognize. If you’re ready to deepen your piano knowledge, start here!

This class was created with the total beginner in mind – if you’re new to piano, you’re in the right place. It’s also a great choice for more experienced pianists looking to revisit the basics, change up their style, or fall in love with music all over again. Since learning music takes time, this class is designed to complement your own self-guided practice or lessons. All you’ll need is a keyboard or piano (ideally one with a sustain pedal).
