Course Description

"The Heavenly Piano Masterclass" is an inspiring piano course developed by musician and recording artist Mark Shian to help piano players take their playing to greater heights through the understanding of piano improvisation using the power and knowledge of intervals. His experience in the studio and stage has been crucial to the development of this unique piano course. The goal here was not to just make another piano course that teaches things you can't really apply to real world situations but to really give you effective tools, skills, knowledge, and vocabulary that translates to greater expression on the piano no matter what song it is you're playing.
No time is wasted learning unnecessary theory or boring scales. This course is designed to cut right into the heart of dynamic piano playing. The understanding of these principles and techniques can be applied to all styles of music. By the end of this course, you will be able to play and improvise like a professional using techniques not taught in conventional piano education. The course is designed to be accelerated, this means that what would take a typical piano student years to learn through conventional training can be learnt in this course in a fraction of the time. You will be given a unique understanding of playing techniques that will help you develop a sound that is dynamic and unique to you. This is important because Mark believes that every pianist should have a unique musical fingerprint and identity. In light of this, this piano course has been developed to help you discover your own unique sound as a piano artist, improviser, and songwriter.
