Thanks Marc for the course. This is a must-do for someone like me rusted after 30 years not playing keyboards and discovering my new Nord Stage 3. This course really accelerated my leanings, It would have taken me years to not even get the same knowledge on my own. Thanks again from Jean-Christophe, New Caledonia

The only place you should go to learn all things Nord

I found this course to be immensely helpful in learning about the Nord Electro 6. Nord's owner's manual is dry and has limited usefulness and that's where Marc Larochelle's expertise comes into play. He clearly knows his stuff, speaks well, gives useful commentary and breaking down all of the electro's components into chapters. So far I'm only halfway done but already I've learned a lot. Marc's teaching of the Nord Sound Manager is my favorite part. If you really want to learn the Nord and put your fears at rest, put your money where your mouth is and sign up for this course. It's well worth it.

As stated, Very Detailed - Easy to Follow. Very easy to progress quickly and retain the material. Updates are more than you could ask for. A LOT of BANG for Your Buck. Material added each year is well worth it. Simply put -- probably the best course for a keyboard I've purchased. Especially for such a powerful machine.

The lessons have the perfect rhythm. Every aspect of the Stage 3 keyboard is covered in a most didactical way, with an eye set on its practical applications. And you always actually see on video, what you are explained, step by step. Believe me, these courses are worth every penny you pay for them. Great, great job. Greetings from Spain.

This course really covers every aspect of the Nord Stage. The workshop concept is well structured and the videos are presented by the competent and sympathetic Marc Larochelle who obviously enjoys it himself. He really knows and likes what he does. Chapeau! I will recommend these courses to everyone beginning with the Nord Stage 3 or the Nord Electro 6.

Perfect for anyone just learning about synthesizers!

Kevin Coakley-Welch

If your starting point is virtually no knowledge of synthesizers (and this describes me) Marc's short course is an ideal way to start getting up to speed. Very glad I found this site!

This course is very easy to use. I have a gig coming up next week and really needed to understand some basic parts of the Nord keyboard. Marc has made it extremely easy to find, learn and setup my Nord Electro 6D. Great Stuff !

Your Instructor

Marc Larochelle

Musician, Performer, Electronic Keyboard Trainer

I have been playing keyboards semi-professionally in rock bands for over 30 years and I have been working with computers for just as long. Majoring in Music Business, I started my career at NAMM in Carlsbad, CA from 1991 through 1996. After NAMM, I started a software company where today, most of my days are spent guiding employees and customers by way of making videos and providing professional training for the Claris FileMaker industry. My first Nord keyboard was an Electro 3 and today I own a Nord Electro 5/6, a Nord Stage 3/4, a Nord Lead A1, and a Nord Wave 2. On Oct 22, 2017, I started a YouTube Channel called "My Keys To Music" where I teach musicians of all kinds, from beginner through advanced, how to operate their Nord keyboards and present what I've learned to others who share a passion for music creation, sound synthesis, and advanced performance. As much as I love music, technology is a massive part of my life. So, teaching people how to use their Nord keyboard is a beautiful blend of both worlds (music and technology). If you want to check out my teaching style, you can find a link to my YouTube channel above or simply sign up for the free courses here. I look forward to working with you! - Marc
