Berklee College of Music Piano Keyboard Workshop

City: Duffel Bag

A practical one-week course to learn a wide range of piano keyboard skills using the Berklee Method.

We will hone the latest technology and expressiveness necessary for piano / keyboard performance, such as improvisation, chord theory, ensemble, and synthesizer technology.
twenty-second to thirtieth of July 2025
Berklee College of Music is a prestigious school that is second to none in the world of jazz and contemporary music. At the Berklee College of Music Piano and Keyboard Workshop, students from over 70 countries around the world gather to spend a short but intense week studying with the excellent professors of Berklee College of Music. During the course, students will learn keyboard playing techniques and expression, including improvisation, instrumental playing, chord theory, ensemble playing, and synthesizer technology. The conditions for participation are to be 1 years of age or older and have more than 15 months of playing experience (not limited to piano, but also including keyboards, synthesizers, and Hammond organs). Required courses include a performance workshop where participants learn chords, rhythms, and techniques in various playing styles, and an ensemble course where participants form an ensemble and play together. Elective courses change every year, but in the past, participants have chosen from synthesizer performance and technology (techniques and technologies for playing synthesizers in various styles), jazz improvisation master class (modern jazz improvisation techniques), Hammond organ master class (techniques for playing the Hammond organ in jazz, blues, rock, and gospel styles), and new age music improvisation (freestyle improvisation without being bound by chords or jazz theory). Using all kinds of methods and techniques, the genres covered are wide-ranging, including jazz, hip-hop, rock, R&B, pop, funk, Latin, and fusion, so you're sure to find something you want to learn. In addition, there is a jam session every night during the workshop, so you can gain experience in ensembles. There is a wide range of content available. How much you can absorb from the experience depends on your motivation and enthusiasm. Discover your individuality in America that stands out from the crowd! Of course, you can also enjoy Boston's specialty oyster cuisine and sightseeing before or after the course.
