Warren Bernhardt’s clear, easy-to-follow method builds your keyboard skills step-by-step, starting with the most basic of concepts: proper hand positions, ascending and descending diatonic scales in 3rds, and an understanding of chord shapes, inversions and important chord progressions.
This is a course that will develop your ear as well as your fingers. As you work your way through Warren’s exercises and songs, you’ll learn to understand melodic improvisation, use tri-tones and blues scales, develop melodic ornamentation and gain many other important musical skills.

Next level Warren Bernhardt – Basic Keyboard Harmony Vol 2
He starts with the basics of scales, finger positions, triads and inversions. He is excellent with putting this information into the context of jazz playing. A true beginner on the piano would find this too advanced. But someone who has a little music theory and piano experience would be comfortable. His three volume set supplies the self-motivated, intermediate pianist with enough instruction in jazz theory, reharmonization, improvisation, comping, soloing, etc., to last a lifetime. Given the various costs of private lessons, a bargain at many times the price.  Warren’s work is one of those that keeps you involved and interested. His development of the ideas is a nice step-by-step approach to improving one’s facility as a performer. You can’t help but improve your technique and musicial knowledge with Warren’s work.

Vol. 3-Soloing & Performing

For his third lesson in the series, jazz pianist Warren Bernhardt teams up with guitarist Mike DeMicco for a powerful session that will teach you new and dynamic musical ideas. This lesson is designed for players who have gotten past the basics in the jazz idiom and have an understanding of the underlying principles of keyboard technique. The wealth of ideas that Warren conveys will give you the tools to be more creative with your music, expand your repertoire and discover what jazz soloing is all about.

Warren teaches you four original jazz etudes, each illustrating different aspects of musical development. These culminate in his breakdown of three wonderful performance pieces: Mike DeMiccos “Pali Lookout,” Mike Manieris “Sara’s Touch” and Warren’s own “B-Loose Blues.”

After demonstrating the basic form of each tune, Warren shows you how to start soloing using specific scales, rhythmic feels and chord structures. You’ll see Warren and Mike arrange and perform each tune, and the scales you’ll need for soloing and improvisation.

Aside from detailed musical instruction, Warren gives you invaluable advice on how to prepare a song for performance, play with other musicians and other essentials for becoming a complete jazz musician.
