Piano Instruction – Helpful Methods For Learning To Play Piano

As a private piano teacher, I witness first hand the difficulties students have in learning how to tickle the ivory. I teach students on a one lesson per week schedule and this makes it difficult for me to aid them with their everyday practices. I can’t demonstrate techniques as well over the phone or via email as I can in person and I’m not available every second of every day. I also have many prospective students who come to me but can’t afford the cost of private lessons or just don’t have an hour once a week to set aside though they still are interested in learning how to play piano. To address these obstacles, I’ve searched far and wide for a good product that would be relevant to my wide age range of piano students as well as complete enough to suggest as a stand-alone piano learning curriculum. I decided to share below what I found to work well for me and my students.

I’ve suggested my students buy a product called PianoForAll with great results. I can accurately say that at least 80% of my students who have purchased the curriculum saw an accelerated growth in their abilities almost as soon as they started using it. This handy tool can teach fresh and entertaining piano skills to complete beginners all the way up to seasoned piano bar veterans – I’m still learning with it and I like to think I play pretty well. Some of the aspects of the program that I really appreciate include:

• Accessibility. PianoForAll is simple and intuitive. No complicated software to navigate, just easy, well laid out lessons and songs.

• Entertainment Value. Songs of many styles, time periods, and skill levels are all found in abundance. Not every student can learn from just Bach or Beethoven; sometimes genres such as blues, ragtime, pop, ballads, and rock and roll are more effective in instructing a student with proper technique.

• Price. An incredibly affordable price for what really is a product designed to put me out of business.

I would recommend this to anyone looking to expand their piano skills. A fun and affordable solution to piano instruction.

Another asset to aspiring piano virtuosos is Rocket Piano. These downloadable piano lessons have been great in assisting me in preparing for a student’s weekly lesson as well as highly recommendable for their fun, popular, easy arrangements of songs that my students love. Taught by qualified pianist Ruth Searle, Rocket piano is an innovative way to teach piano in a form that students will love.
