Hey, that piano player is awesome! I really wish I could play piano as well as that. I bet that takes many hours of practice, don’t you think? I used to have piano lessons when I was a young kid, but I never got beyond my grade 1. Maybe I should have stuck with it, then I could be playing piano like that now. But maybe if I was to sign up for these lessons, I could learn it quicker. What do you think?

Hi Jon,
Posting a comment on another article at your website, I’m glad to see that you promoted what so clearly is a great way for a person to learn how to play the piano through online instruction provided by this individual Ryan Jones and founder of the course.
I’m glad that I could detect that Jones indeed provides correct methods in piano instruction. These include exercises to enable the person to truly increase his/her dexterity with the fingers on the keys. Scales and chord progression practice, finger drills, etc. There is also instruction which provides the tools to enable to student to truly learn how to read music. Being a person who has a Masters’ degree in music I simply detest those courses, and teachers, (don’t get me started on the Suzuki string instrument methodology) who don’t provide instructions to the student in the ability to READ music. These other courses, teachers and methodologies are all fraudulent as what would happen if you place a sheet of music in front of any instrumental student and ask him/her to sight read it? They would be completely lost and totally incapable of doing it!
Also in providing truly great songs to assist the student in truly improving his/her music reading skills, but also dexterity in improving his/her playing skills on the instrument is awesome. And for less than $1 per month for the starter membership? I give this course an “A+” regarding its validity!
Jeff,
Thanks for comments, much appreciated! I agree with your point about some of the programs that don’t teach the full spectrum of piano playing. None of the programs on the website lack this type of tuition. Again, thanks for visiting.
All the best
Jon
I have always wanted to learn the piano. I first started to learn on an old electronic keyboard. It would play a song and the keys would light up. You just played along with it. There were a few songs but I only ever learned one. That song though has been long forgotten. It’s great that you can learn the piano online. How much does this cost though?
Hi Owain,
There are plenty of song tutorials online for free including PianoKeyz on YouTube however if you want thorough lessons you will have to pair their subscriptions, but this can be as little as $15 a month. Which in comparison to private one on one tuition with a real life tutor, is a lot more cost effective. Saves you thousands!
Take a look through the website at some of the programs such as Playground sessions or Piano Marvel.
Good luck
