You Do Not Need Another Course That Teaches You What a C Major Chord Is.
The useful questions are different: how do you turn a chord into a track, use MIDI musically, build a loop, arrange an idea and stop staring at an empty project?
For pianists who never really stopped being musicians
You Already Know Music. Now Learn to Produce It.
You spent years learning piano: notes, rhythm, chords, scales and theory. Then adult life happened. Work happened. Music became something you used to do. You do not need to restart from zero. You need to translate what you already know into music production.

Former-pianist pain
Your Musical Knowledge Did Not Disappear.
It simply stopped having somewhere to go. A former pianist can remember notation, hear harmony and understand rhythm, yet still freeze when opening a DAW.
The named mechanism
The Piano-to-DAW Bridge
A clear progression from what a pianist already knows into the production decisions a DAW requires.
Theory -> Sound
Keyboard -> MIDI
Idea -> Loop
Loop -> Arrangement
