My name’s Jack Vaughan. I’m a composer and online educator and founder of Lean Musician. My courses have been taken by thousands of students in nearly 100 countries and my main thing is helping musicians write and practice music more effectively.
This is not a beginners course. This course follows on from my previous course, Music Composition at the Piano. The aim of that course was to give beginner musicians an amazing foundation in music theory and composition – or to give intermediate musicians a catchup on all the things they often miss. If you haven’t taken that course, or don’t feel totally confident with your level of music theory as it currently stands – then check it out before taking this one.
Our Promise to You
By the end of this course, you will have learned musical arrangement with the piano.
10 Day Money Back Guarantee. If you are unsatisfied for any reason, simply contact us and we’ll give you a full refund. No questions asked.Â
