Keyboards

Despite the rise of guitar bands in recent years, piano and keyboards remain virtually omnipresent in contemporary music, and it is therefore crucial for any aspiring keyboardist to know how to apply their technical skills and sonic knowledge appropriately and creatively.

ACM provides a cutting-edge approach to learning the myriad of skills needed as a keyboardist and the holistic skills needed to function at a professional level in the music industry.

The keyboards courses have a strong emphasis on synthesis and generating the many sounds keyboards need to supply in live performance and in the studio. Students learn how to successfully apply these sounds into the context of contemporary music through individual lectures and live performances with bands as well as other essential skills such as sampling, sequencing, improvising and split keyboards and piano methodology.
