If you’re a first-time visitor to jabberdi, you may well have Piano For All Review already guessed my passion is for music and for those who strife to produce and perform it, through their voice or an instrument.
A few months ago after finding and visiting the virtual piano web site. I found myself spending a good 3 to 4 hours tapping on my computer keyboard trying to produce what most would call acceptable musical rhythms, I came away with a bug in my tummy, not the kind that makes you sick, the kind that energizes you to learn something new. I’d ended up catching the learn to play keyboards fire in the tummy bug.
This set me off on a quest to find suitable online and affordable piano or keyboard lessons that were easy to follow and learn. I found two courses I’m more than happy to recommend to others who also need a cure for the learn to play piano or keyboard’s fire in the tummy bug.
The first is by Robin Hall “pianoforall” The second one I will be publishing a review on soon, is by Samantha Griffiths “See Keys” Piano/keyboard Lessons For Dyslexia & Learning Difficulties. The gift of music should not be held back from those who have learning difficulties and this course as some very interesting teaching methods incorporated into it.
Pianoforall Review
Robin Hall’s Piano for all, Is the best dam value for money piano course I have had the pleasure of working through, I found it to be full of tricks and tips I never knew existed before in the world of learning to play the piano. Now learning piano in my case is a little misleading, since it was keyboards, I wanted to learn to play. However, when it comes down to it, what you learn transfers to the other.
ipad-version-download_5The brilliant thing about piano for all is, if you are lucky to own a piano and a iPad, you can directly download the full course to your iPad, and then follow what Robin is teaching you.
You can simply place your iPad where you would normally place the sheet music on your piano. You can then follow along with the books, click on the direct video links and play the audio files. All the above can be directly accessed from your iPad screen.
However, if like me, you don’t own a full piano, and keyboards are your thing, then downloading to your PC maybe the better option. I just load up the course on my PC and drop my Yamaha YPT220 Portable Keyboard down in front of it.
How Robin Hall teaches you to play the piano or keyboards.
The Pianoforall Process in a nutshell:
Traditional piano instruction generally begins with Sight Reading (being taught to memorize other peoples musical compositions using musical notation) Unfortunately, this is an extremely laborious process and many accomplished ‘sight readers’ have no idea about how to play by ear or how the music they can sight read is constructed in the first place.
To do this you have to learn about chords and harmony. However, Pianoforall works the other way round. You build a solid foundation using chords, ‘real’ sounding rhythms and grooves and then you BUILD on top of that and learn to play by ear and sight read along the way.
The secret to learning piano in the shortest time possible is to start with CHORDS.
There are some TERRIFIC party rhythms thorougthout PFA and the knowledge gained is invaluable. Pianoforall uses lots of memory tricks, tips and formulas to speed up the learning process for you.
The complete lessons come combined in three formats…
PDF, Audio and Video. They are all accessible inside the PDF e-books like so in the graphic below.
Piano For AllThe folks at PIANOFORALL say that if you’re looking for a fast way to learn piano and would like an easy method to follow while you do then you’ll want to take a look at their course. We decided to test that and our review focused on that plus our normal criteria described below.
Holding a degree in music education and having played professionally and taught many people to make music gives unique insight into separating the ‘wheat from the chaff’ when it comes to music programs.
This PIANOFORALL review is intended to point out the high points that meet the criteria we’ve established to best facilitate learning. The first and foremost criteria needed to success is that the course is grounded in activity based lessons. People learn best by doing and PIANOFORALL meets that initial criteria.
A second criteria that we look for is that the system be FUN. People have lots of things today to keep their attention and something like a piano course has to compete with the other distractions. You want a course that has you WANTING to get back into it over and over again. With its long list of multi-media presentation modes our PIANOFORALL review found the course keeps you engaged and entertained as you learn. You get a three-fold approach in that you READ HOW, HEAR HOW, then WATCH HOW. That is a powerful combination because it is a well known axiom of learning that people only retain MAYBE 10% of what they read after a couple of days. But if they reinforce the message received in multiple ways that number leaps to above 70%!
You start with a popular chord based Rhythm Style Piano (think of artists like Elton John, Billy Joel, Lennon & McCartney, Barry Mannilow, Lionel Ritchie, Coldplay, Norah Jones and so on) which is EASY but sounds amazingly like the ‘real thing’. This enables you to achieve a professional sound almost immediately.
