There are so many online instruction programs today, that I know it can be very confusing.
It is my intent that this message will shed some light into your search to find the most appropriate course for your specific needs, to learn piano.
First, I strongly suggest that you do some "deep soul searching" and decide what style of music you want to really play on the piano.
There are so many styles of music and at this stage in your life; you should only FOCUS on the syle of music that your really enjoy.
Second, decide how much time you want to devote to learning to play the piano.
Now, if you're only concerned with playing with the least amount of mental and physical effort, I advise you to seriously consider purchasing an inexpensive electronic keyboard that offers instrumental accompaniment features, to help you cultivate a feel to play piano chords.
You don't need to enroll in "private lessons" for this type of recreational enjoyment.
Many electronic keyboards provide manuals that illustrate basic chord building concepts, to play piano for beginners.
Additionally, they are equipped with pre-set instrumental accompaniment styles that include Rock, Pop, Jazz, Waltz and many other music styles.
As a matter of fact, some keyboards guide you through the learning process by providing keys that "light up" to help you land on the correct note!
Third, if you're really interested in learning how to make music on the pianoand can consistently set aside at least 12 to 30 minutes a day, then you should definitely continue your search for the online and/or DVD program that speaks to your specifric needs and lifestyle.
The Play Piano "Learning Curve" for Adult Piano Students
The most difficult challenge you will face in your study of piano is your developing the skill to "play in time"... that is, keep a BEAT!
Just remember, you have to discipline yourself to "count out loud" in the beginning.
Once your body starts "feeling" the pulse of the music, your body will do the counting for you.
The less difficult challenge is to force yourself to practice slowly. ALL professional pianists practicely slowly when learning new material. If you don't practice slowly, you will forget the material you've practice the next day!
Play Piano Lessons... The GOOD News!
ANY adult can learn to play the style of music they wish to perform on the piano.
Just ensure that you set aside time to practice consistently.
All it takes is just about 15 to 30 minutes, daily. Don't practice in 1-hour spurts, three times a week!
If you're serious about learning to play piano, concentrate on the style of music you want to play, and don't give up!
You can do it, and I know you can beause my adult students are achieving success, every day, worldwide!

Dear
Friend,
I'm Ron Worthy,
and I would like to have the opportunity to share with you the astonishing REVELATIONS I have had, as a result of my 35+ years of experience!
I have taught hundreds and hundreds of people how to play the piano!
And it has been my experience that "time and time again,"Adult piano students just don't "get it!"
I have seen students hit a "brick wall" with all the sheet music (not "lead sheets"), and the dull exercises that they have been assigned.
You see, more often than not, the traditional approach to learning how to play piano doesn't work for Adult students.
Over time, it has become increasingly clear to me that although students are serious about learning to play piano, and yearn to express themselves through music, the hard work that the traditional approach requires IS NOT netting the desired results!
As a professional entertainer (I still perform regularly) and as a teacher with years of experience, I have realized that the SECRETS to learning how to play piano lies NOT in boring drills...
NOT in training one self to read music... and certainly lies
NOT in spending lots of money on private lessons or 15/20 DVDs, or spending man hours on tedious practice!
Play Piano Chord Progressions - A Fun Way to Learn Piano!
Read carefully, because I'm
about to reveal the disciplines to:
Learn how to play
piano "by ear" -- be able to play any song you hear on the radio right after you hear it!
Jamming and improvising like a
professional. Your fingers will FLY across the keys and your
friends and family will be stunned. They'll be even more
shocked when you play them your own original songs!
Having the confidence to play
anything you want... and to look good while doing it!
Quickly and easily pick up ANY
style of music -- jazz, gospel, rock, pop, blues, or R&B -- whatever you love to play!
The One Key Ingredient
One thing unites all types of
music, no matter what instrument you play. Trumpet or piano,
jazz or rock, all music has one thing in common... RHYTHM.
Getting the rhythm is the most
important thing... and the most fun!
After all, the reason you want
to learn is to have fun, right? You don't want to waste time
learning the boring stuff.
My easy method gets you
playing songs right away. These online piano lessons are the best way to learn because I focus on really feeling the
music.
The reason it works so quickly
is because I emphasize gross motor skills.
Gross motor skills use large
muscles, and involve things like walking, kicking, or throwing a
ball.
Fine motor skills use smaller
muscles and involve hand-eye coordination. Drawing, typing,
and YES, playing the piano all use fine motor skills.
But... believe it or not,
focusing on gross motor skills is more important for getting the
rhythm and the sound of the music.
Fine motor skills develop with
time and practice; but without the rhythm, all the practice in the
world is going to get you nowhere!
Prepare to Be Amazed!
There are a lot
of online piano lessons to choose from.
BUT the creators of those methods lack the practical performing and teaching experience to back up their methodology!
A lot of teachers lack the "know-how" for teaching piano effectively.
Many are just out to make money. While they offer you a lot of information, most of what they sell is useless, because they are clueless about what really works!
Now don't you want to learn from someone who knows what DOES WORK?
I have been performing and teaching for over 35+ years! My methods are truly revolutionary and unique, because I know what works.
So, you can learn to play
piano the "old fashioned" way, or you can start playing
songs right away!
This DVD Will Change Your Life. Believe Me!
Your
DVD has improved my ability and understanding of playing
the piano. I am a producer, singer, songwriter, dancer,
engineer, and rapper. I've
been working on projects with Chris Brown, Omarion, Teirra Mari and many others,
even though I didn't really know
how to play piano.
But
now, since I know how to build chords, "bridges" and chord
progressions are so simple and easy to create. You
made learning
to pay piano easy for a visual learner like
myself. I have tried other online lessons and they
don't compare to yours. To everyone else, this
DVD will change your life.believe me! Thank you!

So Clear and Easy to Understand!
Your lessons have really helped me to learn how to play piano and to re-focus on some of the basic chord progressions as well as fingerings.
The one thing that attracted me to your web site was the video with your explanation and demonstration of some blues fingering techniques.
For me to physically see how it was done was a real help to me. I wanted to thank you for how you present your video lessons in your textbook, because you were very detailed, clear and I was able to follow and understand.
I have always wanted to learn how to improvise like you do with your jazz chords and fingering.
Thanks Mr. Ron for helping me.
