Who is this course for?
This course is aimed at all those who are focused on the advanced study of modern piano with consolidated intermediate knowledge. The advanced level will allow you to move on to more technical and complex knowledge, which is simply not solved by studying it on your own, but with the support of qualified people in the subject. With the video tutorials and demonstrations, you will be able to repeat each video tutorial as many times as you want, as well as enjoy all the functions that the player allows to facilitate learning.
The ADVANCED LEVEL course is designed to reach a higher level and consolidate the techniques already learned at other levels of Piano Salsa. Below is a list of the lessons you will find in this course, classified in 4 main blocks of content: THEORY, PRACTICE, MONTUNOS and REPERTOIRE.
