"OK,
Alana, I want to learn Chords and Arranging!"
But....I want to be able to do it myself, not just play
the songs in the lessons.
I
couldn't agree more!
Learning chord charts, and copying a teacher doesn't help.
In fact, I encourage you to apply the lessons to your favorite songs.
Oh, and by the way, it doesn't take
months of lessons and hundreds of songs.
Learn the theory, practice the new positions, apply it to songs. It's that
easy.
And......even then, I am leaving nothing to
chance, I am going to show you:
1) What to practice
2) How to practice so you won't be wasting your time trying to learn.
3) Exact step by step lessons teaching you:
So How does this work?

“
It's no LONGER A SECRET" and
It's now available to you.
NOW, you too, can have all the skills passed
down from the
professionals to professionals.
I promised to pass on the work of my
teacher, Bud Conway, and it is my ultimate goal for you
to have access
to this knowledge and be able to use it in your music.
He is one of the greatest teachers and knew all of the
greats!
As a professional, I know all the tips & tricks
to learning, preparing for future work and playing at a
higher level.
There are very simple basics that lay the foundation for
every song you learn, and once you fit the pieces together,
you will have the
'ah ha' moment.
Remember, I was a classical student, and when I
started on the journey of arranging, playing blues and jazz,
it all
came together for me. This didn't happen in college,
it only happened when I found the right teacher.
I lived in the Detroit
Area, and thought for sure, there had to be a teacher
who could put this together for me.
I'll tell you what I got.........nothing. Finally, I
realized that the musicians whom I admired and wanted
to emulate,
knew theory and how to apply it to those 'big
sounds', but they weren't teaching.
Then I heard about Bud
Conway, and finally learned what all of those GREAT
MUSICIANS knew
I already knew my chords but didn't know what to do
with them. After all of my training and education, I
could
only play classical songs, and didn't have much of a
repertoire except for the classical music I used in
performance.
Don't know your chords? Our Starters Chords will get
you up and running fast.
Like you, I had practiced scales, arpeggios, fingering,
inversions etc., but I knew there had to be a reason to
practice this other than
'just for the fun of
practicing.'
AND........THERE WAS................!
AND........IT WAS EASY..............!
There are very simple basics that lay the foundation for
every song you learn, and once you fit the pieces together,
you will have the
'ah ha' moment.
I’m Alana LaGrange of Music and You, and I’m known for my
fun and easy methods to learning and arranging.
I've been teaching Piano from novices to experts, 'online'
since 2000.

There is only 1 SECRET TO MUSIC;
Did you know that ALL MUSIC, from classical to jazz, uses the foundation
of chords and scales?
What does this mean? That there is more to music than
learning a few chords and playing them against a melody?
First, All music is composed with chords and scales
as is the foundation of, Classical, Popular Music, Rhythm
and Blues and Jazz. The simple truth is that this
foundation is never taught in a simple step by step
method so that you can learn to play and
style any song.
And the truth is, it is EASY TO
LEARN. IT'S REALLY NOT A SECRET!
AND CAN BE TAUGHT IN
SIMPLE STEP BY STEP FORMULAS.
Why is this left out?
Many teachers aren't able to
teach this, because they don't know it, but yet this
is the #1 piece of information you need to move to advanced
work.
You will not advance if you don't know this;
This is simple to learn, but yet the foundation to
all your future work.
Most of you have been playing from sheet music,
but now you will have
the freedom to play
from knowledge and 'heart'.
Putting your hands
in the perfect positions;
once you start opening up
your chords and harmony, you
can play any song and sound like a pro.
Knowing what you are playing vs Reading what you are
playing;
once you 'know' the notes
you
need to play, it frees you to expand on the piano.
What does this do? You are playing wide ranges
which adds to your technical abilities, hand and eye
contact, uses Independence of fingers, and strengthens
finger and hand muscles.
Now, it's
been tested, we know it works and, we are ready to go!

"Let's get Started?"
Ordinary just doesn't Do It!
Let's get a system in place that you can practice
and learn with the perfect learning curve.
I have taught 100's of students and know exactly how to move you into
success............
This
is a link to the complete chart of
lessons.

“There is nothing ordinary about playing
'FABULOUS' and learning more possibilites.
The old saying "To get results, you have to change your
concepts and approach
to learning and applying it in a new action, otherwise
you always get the same".
-
A
new mind set; A new approach to thinking about
chords and scales and why the
old label system doesn't work.
Only the pros work this way and it's so
easy.
-
What you need to know and do before actually playing
a song;
This will get you playing, memorizing and learning a
song in half the time.
-
Starting with a melody only, let's add our
own chords; OH, the possibilities
are endless and.........you can't advance without
knowing this.
-
You can't be
creative if you don't know your possibilities:
What are your possibilities in arranging, and how do
you know which to use?
-
Playing blues is not only fun but this will
catapult you to new levels;
Start playing all of the keyboard, strengthens your hands and fingers,
changes your fingering, and is the start of improvisation.
-
How to find the simple progressions the composer
took from the scales.
-
Using simple 4 note chords, how to add a beautiful
descending pattern in the left hand.
Where do the pros get those beautiful inner
harmonies?
-
This
1
secret of arranging the left hand, will open
up your sounds great and playing easy;
Using
a formula and rules, we will add open chords to
the left hand.
Here it is.........and Bill Evans used this in a lot
of his music, but it is rarely taught.
-
Are you spending too much time practicing the
wrong materials in the wrong way?
I know this one by experience. Having to
memorize many songs for performance,
taught me this one the hard way.
-
Does your pedaling enhance your music or make it
sound like an amateur.
Pedaling correctly is a huge secret, and can
even change the way a rhythm sounds.
Even in classical music, this will change everything
you play.
-
Why practice scales, and what is the best way to
learn them.
If you want to zip up and down the
piano...use certain scales that are the easiest to
play;
-
What is the biggest myth about fingering?
-
Think like a composer and learn to memorize
easily;
-
How to change the myths learned in reading music,
so you can zip up and down;
-
Why are you missing the mark? I always
prove that it's not the students, it's
the teacher. Either they don't know or leave
out information, not to mention
the learning curve has to be precise.
