I’M THRILLED WITH MY ABILITY TO PLAY THESE TWO PRELUDES

“I played the guitar for about 20 years and learned parts of about 25 songs… However, I never COMPLETELY learned a whole song! In 4 months, being a BRAND NEW PIANO PLAYER with no note reading capability, I’ve memorized both pieces by EAR! It’s blown me away!

The key is I ENJOYED listening to the piece as I played. I still don’t read music and would like to… but, it’s not fun for me to read music at this stage. I’m thrilled with my ability to play these two preludes. I have the original course that I did not use but will go back and pick it up then move on to Satre’s and the Moonlight Sonata. Keep up this great work!

Magnificent and I would recommend it 10,000%!”

AFTER A WEEK I COULD PLAY THE PIECE REALLY WELL

“I have struggled with the Prelude for months and so I took advantage of this course. After a week, I could play the piece really well. Robin is an amazing teacher, and I highly recommend this course. Robin – please create more lessons!!”

YOU HAVE MADE THIS SO EASY

“You have made this so easy to play with the wonderful visuals and Instructions which I printed out to have at hand. At 74 years of age, I finally found a beautiful tune to be able to play because of you’re program. Brilliant. I’m almost up to the speed that you play at till working on that and the various volumes required to make this piece sound properly. I have purchased you”re other programs so I have much to do and much to look forward to. Fills my early mornings, my late nights. Robin, You have some very powerful and Brilliant teaching power. Thank You, Ginter”

HIS STARTING POINT IS HOW HUMANS WORK

“Robin Hall’s approach is brilliant – his starting point is how humans work (whereas most people’s starting point is how *music* works) – and then draws on that understanding to design his lessons.

As a beginner, I can’t believe how quickly I’ve been able to learn piano with his method.”

Elizabeth Dozois

“This is teaching at its BEST. The instructor goes step by step, giving clear instructions, and giving various tools to help you play and memorize the pieces. Thank you!”

Silvia Hammond

GOOD SUPPORT MATERIAL

“Best music teacher I know. VERY VERY VERY GOOD support material! Best in class, on a scale of 10, he is getting at least 12”

THIS TIME IT’S DIFFERENT

“This course helped me get started with playing the piece straight away. I don’t have experience playing the piano or reading the sheet music, I only tried a few times with very modest results. This time it’s different. All the information and the commentary is really helpful; looking at the way chord progression is structured from so many angles helps to memorise it quickly. Overall, I’m very satisfied.”

Fedor Isakov

PACKED WITH USEFUL INFORMATION

“The instructor makes it so easy to play and remember the notes. You just have to put in the time to practice. This course is packed with useful information for how to go from sheet music to playing the prelude.”

I MANAGED TO PLAY IT WITHIN AN HOUR

When I first heard the piece I never imagined I could ever play it. But thanks to the teaching method I managed to play it within an hour.

ROBIN HAS A WONDERFUL WAY OF TEACHING

“I absolutely loved both Classics By Ear courses (Satie and Bach). Robin has a wonderful way of teaching, by breaking down the structure of each piece into smaller manageable bits that clarify the patterns and the changes. The way he teaches also makes it easier to memorise pieces, as I always want to be able to play them without needing to rely on my notes. His accent is a treat too. 🙂

Robin, I hope you will create more of these courses – maybe some Chopin? or Beethoven?”

A GREAT MATCH FOR ME

“This is definitely a great match for me. I have been slowly working my way through Robin’s basic piano course which in itself has been an amazing tool for me to learn piano. I can’t wait to get into these two new courses. Thank you Robin for making these courses So user friendly. I sure appreciate your teaching style!”

COULD NOT BE MORE PLEASED

“Finished the Prelude in C major. Could not be more pleased with this course. If you love the piano and are just beginning your journey, please try it. You will not be disappointed.”

Clyde Fisher

THE COURSE WAS FANTASTIC!

“The course was fantastic! I was amazed at how many different materials provided and approaches provided to learning this piece. Not simply the sheet music, but cheat sheets and other tools to help me learn the piece. I have successfully memorized and completed the piece in around 2 weeks.”

Matt Beech

NOT AN INTIMIDATING TEACHER

“The best tutorial, overall comprehensive, user-friendly, and not an intimidating MUSIC TEACHER. Thanks, Rob!”
