Best-Loved Gospel Hymns of all time
Best-Loved Gospel Hymns of all time
"The Best-Loved
Gospel Hymns
Of All Time!"
Bring 'em to life
on your piano!
Dear Piano-playing friend:
Would you like to be able to play and arrange some of the greatest gospel hymns ever written?
If so, you're going to LOVE this DVD video series I have recorded.
In each DVD I spend two whole hours demonstrating and explaining how to add runs, fill, chord substitutions, and a host of other techniques to some of your favorite hymns. That's SIX hours of priceless instruction when you order all 3 DVD courses. You'll see each note, each chord, each technique close-up and in slow motion on the DVD so you'll know exactly how to play each technique in each song. And then, of course, you can take what you learn on one song and apply it to other songs as well.
Each DVD comes with the sheet music of the original hymn, just like you would see in a hymnal, except it's in a nicer sheet music format.
Volume One:
"The Old Rugged Cross"
"What a Friend We Have In Jesus"
"Just a Closer Walk With Thee"
"Battle Hymn of the Republic"
Volume Two:
"When They Ring Those Golden Bells"
"I Know Whom I Have Believed"
"Lord, I'm Coming Home"
"Blessed Assurance"
Volume Three
"Holy, Holy, Holy"
"In The Garden"
"Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing"
"I Have Decided To Follow Jesus"

From: Duane
Dear Friend:
Remember the old ad...
"They laughed when I sat down at the piano...but when I started to play..." ?
I remember very well the first time I played piano for a group. They DID laugh. It was a disaster. I overheard the leader say "Let's get somebody with some rhythm in there to play".
Ouch!
That hurt. But I told myself right then and there that I would learn to play the piano so well that no one would ever laugh at me again.
Guess what?
Nobody laughs anymore. And they don't laugh at my students, either.
Why?
Because I discovered...
The BACKDOOR to piano playing.
What in the world is the "backdoor to piano playing?
Chords.
Chords are a way in to the world of piano playing without having to go through the front door: years and years of scales, drills, rote practicing, etc. Chords are really a shortcut to understanding and playing music without all the formal training.
Formal training is fine if you have the time and money. But most adults don't want to wait forever before they can play something enjoyable on the piano. I took lessons when I was a kid, but found it boring. Not only that, but all I could do was play the written music exactly as it was written. Without the sheet music in front of me, I didn't have a clue what to do. So I lost interest in piano playing until the incident described above. But shortly after that, I had the opportunity to play in a school combo -- but to do that, I had to learn chords, and learn them fast. So I sent for a $2. chord chart advertised in Popular Mechanics, and within hours after I got it I was playing the Dm7 chord and the C6 chord in my left hand while I played the tune with my right hand. Talk about excited! Within a few weeks I could play dozens of songs using chords. And I discovered that my sight-reading speed greatly improved at the same time, because now I understood what I was seeing on the printed page!
So I came in through the back door instead, and now I enjoy what I used to hate! Why? Because I understand what I'm doing because now I understand chords and chord progressions. I eventually went on to get my Masters Degree -- and it was easy because of all I had learned about music theory and harmony due to playing and understanding chords.
So in this course I give you the best of both worlds: You get the understanding that comes from knowing chords, but you also learn how to sight-read printed music. And you can do it much easier and faster because you understand what you are seeing -- chords and parts of chords and chords stretched out into a string of individual notes (called "arpeggios") and chord progressions -- one chord flowing into another.
Here's an example from a piece of classical music that looks complicated:
But as soon as you learn about broken chords, you will soon see that all this is is 3 chords broken up. When you learn the notes of those 3 chords, this music suddenly becomes as easy to read and understand as:
Like music? Always wanted to play the piano? Here's your chance!
Every single week for a YEAR Duane will come right into your home and appear on your TV screen and teach you to play the piano using both sight-reading and chord techniques. With music DVD video piano lessons, you can watch them over and over again. Can do you that in "studio piano lessons"? Of course not. And Duane explains and demonstrates everything so thoroughly -- plus you have the book he's teaching from right there in front of you -- that you would have to try hard not to learn!
You'll have a permanent library of all your piano lessons on DVD videos, plus all the books Duane sends along (at least 8 books). And all you pay figures to just $25. per week for everything -- Duane's expertise, the music DVD's, the books -- everything!
Duane starts right from square one -- how to sit at the keyboard, the finger positions, the chords you will use, how to read the melody while playing chords in your left hand -- everything. So if you are a beginner, or a rusty intermediate, or you took piano lessons as a kid but want to make sure you don't miss anything, this is the course for you. All Duane's other courses specialize in this or that, but this is THE BASIC COURSE -- the CRASH COURSE -- you'll get a complete, correct start at the piano. And if you watch these piano lesson videos week after week for a solid year, you will be astounded at how much you can learn in a year and how many different songs and styles and chords you can play!
"I just finished your "One Year Crash Course in Exciting Piano Playing". The instruction will last a lifetime. Thank you so much for being the greatest teacher alive." Margaret from Cape Cod (e-mail on file)
Learn piano from the man who wrote the book! - If you take lessons from someone who plays well but hasn't mastered teaching, you run the risk of missing lots of important stuff you need to know. You KNOW what you're getting when you study with the author of over 500 piano books and courses!
Learn at your own pace! - If you want to go slower than one lesson per week, we can adjust that to fit your schedule after the first month. If you want to go FASTER, that's fine too -- we can do that.
Learn music theory & harmony as you go! - You won't just learn HOW to play piano -- you'll learn WHY chords move they way they do, and WHY certain patterns repeat over and over. You'll learn musical form, transposition, modulation, improvisation, and a host of other musical truths!
"Can I say that I have learned more in 30 minutes about playing technique than I have learnt in 30 years. At the moment I am like a child on Christmas morning, finding it difficult to take everything in. You have shown me how much more there is to piano playing than merely transferring the notes on the staves to the keys of the piano. I now have a renewed interest in the piano, it has awakened my dormant fingers to try something new and exciting."
Will D. England (e-mail on file)
Low cost! Costs NOTHING in comparison to college or conservatory classes! - You can study with Duane on video for LESS than taking from an unknown teacher!
Doctors & professionals love it! - Doctors can't take a regular piano lesson at a studio at the same time every week, and neither can most working adults. With video lessons, you learn at YOUR convenience in YOUR home.
You get a whole library of DVD lessons! - You will refer to these lessons over and over again. The more you learn, the more you will understand, and the more you'll want to review something that was taught earlier!
"Thank you so much ... I have always wondered how people could tell what key they were in, but too ashamed to ask....or once when I did ask, I didn't understand what they meant because they didn't explain it clearly....WOW that is amazing...I took music for 8 years and never learned that..lol...Thanks again...and I play in church....."
Dianne (e-mail on file)
Duane comes to your home every week for 52 weeks -- stashed away in a DVD! - No transportation. No driving. No cancellations. No waiting. No rescheduling. It's at your convenience!
Become a master of chords & chord progressions! - You will learn over ONE THOUSAND chords by the end of the year! And you will understand chord families and why chords progress the way they do.
Adults only! - Duane teaches each DVD lesson with an adult in mind...kids need a teacher sitting along side them. So DON'T order this for your children UNLESS you plan to take the course to and stay a little ahead of them. But for those adults who will do this it is a double-blessing! You can learn yourself, then help your child learn as well. Perfect for home-school parents!
Here are just some of the things you'll be learning within the next 52 weeks:

Adding octaves to the melody for a big sound. How to read chord symbols. Sight-reading with your eyes AND your brain. Polytonality -- playing two chords at once. How to stand a chord on it's head. How to add undernotes in your right hand. How to form and use dominant 7th chords. How to form and play 6/9 chords (ultra-modern). Undernotes and passing tones. Color tones. Transposing to another key. Modulation. How to use the written bass part as an "idea starter". How to read musical roadsigns. How to use intervals to help you sight-read faster and play better.

Country-Western styles. Swing bass. How to get started playing boogie-woogie. How to make up your own songs. And a zillion other things!
"I just wanted to tell you that I got my books and videos today; and started watching them already, and am just thrilled to death. I think this course is going to be EXACTLY what I need right now; and I am just thanking God for giving me the idea." Joyce (e-mail on file
"I ordered your tapes and have been working with them for about 9 months. They are absolutely great! I have been playing since age 5 (I am now in my 50's). I have a degree in Music and have taught piano for 20 years. When I started playing I learned to play by ear. Then, all the music education drummed that out of my head. Your tapes have taken me back to the real joy of playing that I had as a child, and I especially love the process of creating that you take us through. Thanks so much for the joy of Music!!
Annette F Redlands, CA (e-mail)
"Just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for your wonderful 52 week piano course. Just started receiving weekly lessons. I must say that I never thought I would learn to play and now I am "grinning from ear to ear" as I learn from your wonderful teaching methods. My schedule is so chaotic that I could never plan on weekly lessons with a teacher - she / he would most certainly quit me. I took lessons 35 years ago as a child and hated it because the teacher was not good with kids (me included). This is a great Christmas present (even if it is from me... to me)"
Marlene (letter on file)
It’s just incredible. People rave over it. Here’s how it works:
After you receive your first lesson in the mail, you will SEE and HEAR for yourself why Duane's Crash Course is so powerful. You won't wonder anymore whether or not you can play the piano -- you will UNDERSTAND clearly that "If you plant corn, corn will come up. If you plant poison oak, poison oak will come up. So pick your crop: what you sow you will also reap. We live in a cause-effect world, so we can largely choose our own results."
You won't just be satisfied -- you'll be THRILLED!
Does Duane guarantee your success at piano playing? He can't, because he doesn't know your motivation, your time available, your family situation, your persistence -- etc, etc. But YOU can guarantee your own success at piano playing!
See Free Bonus gift #5 below.
If you call today -- 541-664-7052 -- we can get your first DVD lesson off to you tomorrow -- in a few days you'll be on your way to playing the piano like you've always wanted to!
You get 52 weekly lessons on DVD videos. That's a LOT of instruction. If you went to a music studio to take a 1/2 hour lesson, part of the time YOU would be talking and playing. You wouldn't get over 15 minutes of instruction. But here you get the full session with Duane playing each song and explaining in detail -- using slow-motion and close-ups to make it crystal-clear. You would have to be brain-dead NOT to learn!
Free Bonus Gift #1 ($39. Value) The " Secret of Power Practice" video. Learn the 3 little-known secrets of getting GREAT results from your practice time!
Free Bonus Gift #2 ($15. Value) The " Automatic Note Finder" keyboard chart that slips behind the keys on your piano and guides you to every note in both the bass and the treble clef.

"How To Predict Which Chord Comes Next!"
This course is the only course in existence (as far as we know) which shows how to predict with 80% to 90% accuracy (hey -- nobody's perfect!) the next chord to occur in any piece of music! It's not magic -- it's just knowing some things. To be able to do this you must know "the ladder" and the "prediction chart" -- the two elements that are taught so clearly in this unique, one of a kind course. After taking this course you should be able to predict the next chord in any song with at least 80% accuracy. Think how valuable this could be to you when playing by ear or when improvising with other musicians! (We could put a price tag on this course that would bankrupt small nations, since this is the only thing of its kind in the entire world, as far as we know.)

"Passing Tones"
Passing tones are those "moving parts" you hear in music -- the flowing current beneath the melody and passing through the chords. They are usually below the melody and move as either single notes or 3rds, but sometimes even in triads. You'll learn how to use passing tones to make a boring chord interesting; to point to the melody, and just add to the flavor of the song. A fairly advanced course, so make sure you know chords well before you take this course.

"TurnArounds"
Turnarounds are chord progressions which you as a piano player use at the end of a phrase to get you launched into the next phrase. You'll learn the I, vi, ii, V7 turnaround (also called the "Cul de Sac" turnaround); the I, flat III, flat II turnaround; and several others you can use in most any song or situation. If you want to be smooth, better take this course! It's something not one piano player in a hundred knows how to do. (Would you believe one in a thousand?)

Extended chords are chords which are bigger than a triad (a 3-note chord). You'll learn how to form 7ths, 9ths, 11ths, and 13ths, and then you'll learn to voice them (position them on the keyboard so your hand can reach the entire chord). You'll also learn how to use passing tones to voice chords, and to form "runs" out of chords.

Do the jazz styles of the top artists turn you on? Do you get Goosebumps when you hear your favorite jazz pianist play a "locked-hand" passage?

"Chord Progressions & The Riffs & Runs That Flow Out Of Them!"
Here is a chord progression:
I VI II V7
It is commonly referred to as the "Blue Moon Progression", because those are the first 4 chords of the song by that name. But you can use that chord progression not only in "Blue Moon", but also in "Heart & Soul", "Polka Dots & Moonbeams", "It's the Talk of the Town", and hundreds (if not thousands) of other pop tunes. You can also use the exact same progression in the gospel song "He's Everything To Me", "I Am Not Worthy", and many others.
So if you knew the progression..I mean really knew it -- you could play countless songs, and portions of countless others!
This same chord progression also makes an excellent intro to most any song. This same chord progression also makes a great "turnaround" in dead spots in a song, as well as for use between verses. All of this from just one chord progression!
In this 6-CD course I will teach you a DOZEN chord progressions, and you will hear me play each chord and explain each progression in detail. You will hear me make RUNS & RIFFS out of each progression -- runs & riffs you can use, no matter whether you play gospel, R & B, pop rag, jazz, or whatever. By learning a few runs & riffs which flow out of each chord progression, you will actually be practicing the "fancy stuff" you can then include in thousands & thousands of songs!
You will get six CD's where I demonstrate & explain each chord progression in detail, and you'll also get a big book which has 96 pages of progressions and show every note of every chord progression covered in the course. You'll also get a big 2-color binder to hold it all! Plus -- a free DVD video which summarizes the entire course, so you can watch on your own TV or computer as Duane illustrates and plays each progression!
If you could come to my studio and I taught you the very same material in person, it would take several months and cost thousands of dollars. But it would be well worth it, because you would have the "ammunition" in your mental storehouse that 95% of piano players don't have!
Now you can save the thousands it would cost and take the same program at home for a tiny portion of it's true value!
"I have been a subscriber to a number of your courses over the past 5 years, and learned a lot too. Recently I subscribed to your course on " Chord Progressions, Riffs & Runs" and I want to say that you have packed more information in this course than I ever expected. Congratulations. It's a great course."

"All The Chords In The Whole Wide World"
Have you ever wondered how many chords there are? I'm sure you know many chords, but are there lots more just waiting to be discovered?
This 2-hour DVD covers all the ways of forming chords. There are only so many ways of combining notes, and this DVD video explores the almost infinite variations a piano player can use to create their own, distinctive chord sounds.

Learn how to play any keyboard -- piano, synthesizer, organ, electronic keyboard -- by chords! (By the way --- Duane favors Yamaha keyboards, but Roland and a couple others are good too.) Enables any keyboard player to play songs using a chord system rather than having to be tied to a printed score. At the core of the system is a booklet of 24 familiar songs, plus a chord chart and a keyboard chart. Duane then teaches 17 ways to apply chords to the right hand, and 13 ways to apply chords to the left hand. Each of these chord styles is also reproduced in printed form in the booklet, so the learner can see as well as hear how to apply these chords to various songs.
