The method
This piano course in video game music is a course where teaching takes place individually or in group lessons of 2-3 students. Learning to play piano music from computer games is an exciting challenge. Piano students learn to play video game music based on a melody chord method. Basically, it is a method where students develop the ability to distinguish a melody from a complicated arrangement and then find chords that fit this melody. The advantage of the melody-chord method is that it can be applied to several songs in the same music genre, which means that once you have mastered it, you can continue learning more independently.
