The BEST Way to Learn Piano as a Music Producer

The BEST Way to Learn Piano as a Music Producer

When learning piano/keyboard, I think more producers/artists need to focus on learning the language and playing by ear (and basic theory). Songwriters too. Basic Jazz piano has all the ingredients we need to learn to make music as we learn to play piano, once we've built a solid foundation.

I'm completely self taught on the piano. I'm not a piano teacher and I made this video to share the way I think about this because been one of the biggest musical breakthroughs I've ever had. I wish someone had sat me down and explained this to me five years ago, so I hope this video can be that for someone.

Some of my descriptions here are a little vague so feel free to fact check me if you've got more experience in a particular area - again, piano isn't my area of expertise, I'm coming at this from a music production perspective.

@LDreTheGiant Starting his own journey inspired this video, keen to see him smash it.

For Jazz Piano:
@PianoWithJonny (basic jazz piano)
@Learnjazzstandards (it's in the name)
@CharlesCornellStudios (super inspiring jazz pianist)
@Better-Piano (charles' new piano channel)

For more complex theory:
@12tone (great for diving deeper into concepts)
@RickBeato (more of a musician chill out area but dives deep into theory every so often, he teaches transcription too)

Thanks for the video. I also want to get some of the music ideas out of my head but my space is only enough for a 25 key MIDI. Would that be enough? Can I just make some beat then pause, move the octave and combine them later in the DAW or do I need to get at least 49 keys ones to make music?😢

transcription and improv really helps you develop your musical ear more as well, and the satisfaction that comes out of being resourceful with the basics even if ur no instrumental whiz really motivates you from time to time to just keep on practicing.

love this vid a lot too thank u camus!!

It’s funny as a producer that samples and plays it’s all relative. Music Theory is something that’s needed to tap into the human psyche. Once I practiced keys it made my music ten times better. Mind u I still sample just not as much. Knowledge mixed with experimentation is what makes hits. Not a formula. It’s all feeling.

As someone who is classically trained in flute but has next to no piano experience and is looking to learn it for music production, this makes so much more sense than what I've been trying which was basically just grinding to the point of tedium

Weird thing is I basically used this methodology for learning guitar (18 years in the making) but just couldn't think that way when I sat down on a piano and I now realize why learning piano has been such a frustrating experience.
I can literally get a good idea for a song in 15sec when I'm on my guitar but I jump on the piano and I'm like "What is chord?"

Your improvisation sounds advance to someone like me who draws in the pattern on piano roll 😂. This is probably one of the most thoroughly explained vids on learning piano. Thank you for clarifying the approach so i can start learning piano and create my own music.🙏
