Learn Piano or Keyboard from Scratch - Complete Piano Course

The course develops piano skills through extended work on scales, chords and repertoire. Martin Cohen connects music reading with playing by ear and introductory improvisation. The syllabus gives learners material to revisit across many practice sessions rather than suggesting that watching a long course is equivalent to learning an instrument.

What you will learn

• Read and locate notes at the keyboard
• Practice scales, chords and coordination
• Explore simple ear-playing and improvisation

Who this suits

The published audience includes complete beginners. Learners need access to a piano or keyboard and a consistent opportunity to practice each exercise away from the video.

Before you enroll

The November 2023 listing contains 25 hours 23 minutes of video. The large syllabus should be approached gradually, with time to review earlier skills. Claims about playing any song are not a realistic assessment standard. Choose pieces within your current ability and use recordings or teacher feedback to identify what needs work.

Udemy offers paid purchase or subscription access depending on the current course and region. Paid teaching courses provide completion certificates under Udemy’s policy. Check current access terms and any separate software or material costs before enrolling.

Put it into practice

Practice a short original chord progression and a simple melody separately, then combine them slowly. Record the result and choose one coordination problem for the next session.
