Wedding Songs
Wedding Songs: " On this instructional audio CD Duane takes you through the most common wedding songs:
The Processional (Here Comes the Bride), and
The Recessional.
You will get the music to both songs, and you will learn to play both. Playing for a wedding is quite different than playing in other situations, so you will appreciate having Duane clue you in on the various aspects of wedding playing.

New age piano music - cool sounds!
New age piano music - cool sounds!
Don't Let Anyone Tell You That You Can't
Make
Cool Sounds
On Any Keyboard
Without Knowing a Thing About Music!
You Really Can!
Dear Friend:
I have recently recorded an instructional DVD which can be used by anybody -- even people who have never touched their hands to the keyboard!
As you may know, I have taught piano for 30 years and I'm a firm believer in learning to read music, understand music theory, and really master the keyboard. I'm no fan of mindless "shortcuts" because I know that in the long run they don't work -- you've got to have understanding.
But I also know that there are many people that would LOVE to be able to make their own "pleasant sounds" on the piano, just for their own satisfaction and amusement. They know full well that they will never be full-blown piano players, but still, they would like to sit down now and then and must make some sounds on the keyboard that sound good, feel good, and give satisfaction to them and/or their family.
I understand that. My own Dad wasn't a pianist by any means, yet when I was a little guy he used to sit down at the piano for a half-hour on a Saturday evening and play some kind of chording pattern that just delighted my Mom and my brother and I. I guess you know that if I could call him back from Heaven and have him play that again for me, I wouldn't trade the entire London Symphony for that half-hour.
And so for those people who just want to make some nice sounds on the piano (or keyboard or organ or synthesizer -- it doesn't matter what kind of keyboard) I have created this DVD course.
We use NO printed music, of course. All you will do
is sit at your piano or keyboard and watch my hands on
my piano, and do what I do. Of course I will be talking
and explaining what I am doing, but even if you had the
sound turned off you could still follow what my hands
are doing.
There is a style of music which is quite popular these days known as "new age" music. It tries to capture the sounds of nature -- water flowing, nature, birds -- that sort of thing. It is very descriptive music, and very relaxing. It's fun to play, too, because there are really no "wrong answers" -- anything that sounds nice and pleasant is "right". I'm going to show you on the video how these sounds are created using simple patterns -- patterns that can be repeated in various places & ways.
I'm going to show you how to create 15 different sound patterns. I have named these sound patterns:
Cascading Waterfalls
Wind in the Forest
Rainbow after Storm
Oriental Gardens
Hide & Seek
Carnival Fun
Classical Sounds
Stroll in a Meadow
Peaceful Morning
Walk-the-Stairs Boogie
Playful Kittens
Christmas Morning
Gentle Waves
Remembering Daddy
Dinkin' Around!
.....and then after you learn each sound pattern, I'll show you how to link those sound patterns together in various ways so that you can create your own song, your own little symphony, your own creation, that expresses the feelings that you want to express.
Cordially,
Duane
PS Even if you have played piano for years, you might just learn something new about patterns & linking --I've played piano for more years than I care to remember, and I got some new ideas for myself just by creating this DVD!

"Make Cool Sounds On Any Keyboard!"
Don't let anyone tell you that you can't make cool sounds on the piano or any keyboard without knowing a thing about music! It's really true -- if you have five fingers on each hand and can play every other note on a keyboard, you can make some really pleasant, relaxing sounds on the piano or keyboard. On this two-hour DVD course, Duane demonstrates 18 simple patterns you can do, then shows you how to link them together to make your own creation. Great music? Hardly. But satisfying and pleasant and relaxing? You bet. Create your own "new age music" without knowing a thing about music!
