There are a vast number of piano teachers who offer their services and an overwhelming number of software and books available. There is also an incredible amount of online courses for you to choose from. But the problem is that not all teachers, software, books and online courses can teach you in a way that lets you really learn the material without it costing years of your time and a sizeable investment of money.

Some private piano teachers are very skilled at playing the piano, but their teaching methods leave a lot to be desired. They were trained to play the piano, not be a teacher. Most software and books are written to go hand in hand with private tutoring.

Without a teacher, you won’t grasp the instruction. Lastly, many online courses promise that their course is the best and they promise that you can learn piano well in a short amount of time. But when you purchase the course, you discover just the opposite is true – and every lesson in the course is a struggle.

With all of those options available, how can you choose the best course of action to take when you want to learn how to play the piano? You choose the product that will allow you to see exactly what they promise you up front. No hidden fees, no surprises. Few courses will let you see their material without a purchase, but Rocket Piano does.

Rocket Piano takes you behind the scenes with their six part mini course to give you a taste of the incredible instruction offered in their course. Why do they make such an incredible offer? It’s the difference between a love of teaching piano and only wanting to sell a product. Rocket Piano wants to share the beauty of playing piano with everyone who desires to learn. Read more

Time after time, I have come across pianists who cannot read music well and rely on memorization to save them. Do you admire pianists who can just pick up any piece of sheet music and play without stumbling? If you want to take your sight reading to the next level then check out the piano course "Mastering The Art Of Piano Sight Reading!"

Playing by Ear

I often have people ask me about playing a piano “by ear”. What they are referring to of course is learning and being able to play songs just by listening to them.

When I was quite young and still learning to play the piano I remember watching someone listen to a song on the radio and then quickly walk over to the piano and play what was on the radio. It was very impressive. I remember thinking how amazing that was. The thing that I’ve learned since then is that if you spend time with music, listening to it, playing it, paying attention to it, that things start to stick out.

By this I mean certain chords start to become familiar, certain melodies that then go along with those chords. Probably the most important aspect of this is that chord progressions that start to stick out. These are the fundamental parts to playing by ear. Read more
