An easier approach to playing in all 12 keys on piano

If you want to use this approach you must first think outside the box.

Let take an example if I could only play in the Key of C all my life but decided i want to try A flat

One way you could look at it

Instead of Playing an A major

Start with C count up 8 to the next C

No play in A flat using that distance.

find your favorite progression and do this for every key but remember everthing that is going to played or harmonized is between C to C

sounds crazy but it works do it everyday and you will notice chords that you would never imagine playing.
never leave C
 
where he says "NO play A flat" he means "Now play A flat" - by keeping the same distances between each note, which is really the same thing a piano teacher tells you to do but names the notes all the way though for you
 
Oh, but that's just how you find scales. I know that if, for example, you play C major scale and you want to find D major, you just use the same intervals between notes. But the way he explained it was confusing.
 
agreed - sometimes what someone thinks is easy and how they explain can be very different
