Publisher's summary

The complete learning experience of professional piano lessons.

Have you always wanted to play the piano, but didn't know where to start?

Maybe you never got the chance as a kid?

Or maybe you haven't played the piano in years and are looking for a refresher?

Well then look no further because this book is perfect for you...

Traditionally, piano lessons have been very boring. They often leave people frustrated and feeling like they’re not learning quickly enough.

Stop burning through your time and start the real playing with this book. It's practically impossible to fail and far less expensive than private piano lessons (full size piano not required!) .

The lessons build on skills one by one and what is unique is that each lesson includes bonus videos to really guarantee you learn everything you need to play the piano. It’s like having a teacher in the room with you, but you set the pace.

In this book you will discover:

  • Essential music theory and glossary of terms
  • Finger exercises (we all need them)
  • Identify all the piano notes
  • Easily form or play original melodies
  • Play songs - from very simple to complex
  • exclusive videos to complete the learning experience
  • Chord formulas - how to form chords
  • Play by ear or reading music (it’s easier this way)

And much, much more...

Imagine being able to sit at the piano and play beautiful, entertaining music. The joy and reward that playing the piano brings is unmatched.

So if you're ready to start playing the piano, then listen to this book!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Perfect

I’ve never touched a piano before until this book. This is the perfect way to get started. In the beginning it teaches you the basics and quickly gets you moving up to more skillful techniques. This made me feel accomplished. The videos are great.

Learn Piano

The lessons and videos found here are really helpful. Sometimes with other books I got stuck. But having the extra videos really helped me to gain a better understanding.

Happy

I really enjoyed this book. Since leaving uni I have not played piano much. So during new free time I started up again and found this to be helpful for refreshing my old skills. The videos were useful and I will definitely recommend this book.

Well organized

This book will help you progress with ease. As a more advanced piano player I didn't have to start from the beginning. At the start it’s good too though if you need it. All in all an excellent book.

Great start

I always wanted to learn piano for so long. This popped up and I got right to it. It gives easy to follow lessons on all you need to know. Plus there are some good videos to help more.

The narration leaves something to be desired.

The narrator has somehow taken information that is difficult to grasp, and made it harder to understand or like music theory. The accompanying videos are absolutely terrible as the piano teacher is impossible to decipher unless you are from wherever his dialect is from. I regret buying this book. Caveat Emptor.

Don't waste your money

Bored stiff from the 5 year old lesson. Maybe include pictures of animals. Better instructions from random YouTubers than this. His videos have a handful of likes if any for his accompanying video lesson, probably friends or family liked them and his English in not clear. Hope you get a lunch from my "donation" kid.
