Many adults would love to play piano but assume it’s going to take years of lessons, endless scales and lots of music theory before they can play anything worthwhile.
With Pianoforall, you start with the music.
You play first — real music, right from the start.
Then you gradually learn the chords, notes, patterns and theory behind what you’re playing.
It’s much easier to understand music you can already play.

More than 20 years of feedback from Pianoforall students around the world.
I WAS ABOUT TO GIVE UP LEARNING PIANO.
“Hi Robyn, I’m ecstatic with how I’ve finally managed to play after a year of slogging away trying to learn to read music. I’m really learning so quickly now by applying what you teach.
I have literally tried everything I found online to learn and was considering giving the piano away to a friend when fortunately I found your lessons.”
IT’S THE ONLY PIANO COURSE I RECOMMEND TO MY STUDENTS
“Hey Robin,
I am a huge fan of yours.
Your course played a large part in the inspiration for my own guitar course, and it’s the only piano course that I recommend to my students. Great stuff!”
I HAVE YET TO FIND ANOTHER COURSE THAT MAKES IT THIS EASY.
“Robin, I’ve been working with the course for about a week, and it’s incredible. I have several courses that I ordered over the internet. This is the one I use because it makes learning piano fun! I’m amazed!
Once you get the rhythms down, you really can sound like a pro! Great fun!”
GUITAR PLAYER AND SONGWRITER–NASHVILLE
“Hey Robin, Just wanted to say thanks for this course. I live in Nashville TN and so naturally I write songs. I play the guitar but I wanted to start writing on piano. This is a great course for that.
Someday I’ll get around to playing some classical music but this is a great way to learn piano fast for song writing. I feel like I owe you more money.”
YOUR COURSE IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC
“Robin, I purchased your course a couple of years ago and I must agree with the other comments that your course is absolutely fantastic.
It makes the complex understandable and for those of us who don’t want to master music theory, it gets us playing quite well in a short time. I can’t say enough good about your program. Thanks again.”
LEAD SINGER BUT ALSO FRUSTRATED PIANIST
“Hi Robin, Thank you so much for the course. You have a lovely teaching style and I will benefit as I am the lead vocalist in a function band but also a very frustrated pianist!
This course is exactly what I have been looking for with all the shortcuts that have been such a mystery to me for years. Kind regards. Paul”
74 YEARS YOUNG
“Hya Robin,
Enjoying learning the piano like I’ve never – bless you for your insight into teaching – it works!!
Please accept my highest respect for possibly the best tutorial of all time – I am 74 and have seen a few.
You have made me a happy slave to my keyboard and sound!
KUDOS FOR A FABULOUS COURSE
“Robin,
I just wanted to give you my kudos for a fabulous course. Your course is making what was previously just an arduous task in memorization (with other methods), a much more structured, understandable, and fun process.
Thanks so much for the most logically arranged, easiest to follow, and best ‘bang for the buck’ piano course I’ve seen.”
NOTHING COMPARES TO THE WAY YOU PRESENT PIANO LESSONS
“I must say, this is a great course and you have a unique approach. One I haven’t seen before and I’ve tried a lot of them. Unsuccessfully, I might add. Your course seems to be what I’ve been looking for for quite a while.
Nothing compares to the way you present piano lessons. Good luck with it.”
MY FAMILY CAN’T BELIEVE I LEARNED ALL I HAVE IN 3 DAYS!
“Dear Robin,
Thank You for the incredible program that you have put together. I must say you over delivered on this one. I couldn’t believe it, and neither could my wife!
I’ve never played piano before in my life. Within an hour, I was making music. God bless you,”
I EVEN GOT MY MUM PLAYING AGAIN THANKS TO YOU!
“Hi Robin,
Thank you for putting together such an interesting, motivating, straightforward approach to learning piano! I absolutely love the techniques.
I’m playing everything now and it’s so exciting!!! I’m still only on Book 1 and I’ve learned so much already.”

Here are some of the things people often ask before getting started.
If you want a complete piano course, start with Pianoforall. It takes you from the very beginning through chords, rhythm styles, ballads, blues, jazz, improvisation, playing by ear, reading music and classical piano.
If you’re particularly interested in classical music, Classics By Ear teaches great classical pieces step by step using patterns, chords, visual guides and memory techniques.
You can choose either, learn from both alongside each other, or get everything together in the Complete Bundle.
Pianoforall offers three key advantages over other piano methods:
Comprehensive structure – The course is carefully designed so you always know what to do next, eliminating confusion or frustration.
Exceptional value – Each course is a one-time payment with lifetime access, rather than an ongoing subscription. Pianoforall, for example, is just $49 compared with subscription apps that can cost over $700 across two years.
Flexible learning formats – You can study online, offline with downloadable ebooks, or even print the materials, allowing you to practice in the way that suits you best.
Pianoforall doesn’t rely on games, scores or software listening to what you play. It’s more like learning with a teacher. I take you through the course step by step using short video lessons and ebooks.
We start with chords, rhythm and playing by ear, then gradually add new patterns, styles, techniques and reading music.
Most importantly, you’re not simply learning individual songs. You’re developing skills that you can eventually apply to any song you want to play.
Not at all. Pianoforall was designed for complete beginners and assumes you know nothing about piano or music.
Everything is taught in small, carefully structured steps, with each new lesson building on what you’ve already learned.
Definitely not. I’ve taught students of all ages, including many who started learning after retirement.
Adults often make very good students. You know the music you enjoy, you’re good at recognising patterns and, most importantly, you’re learning because you want to.
No — not to begin with.
You’ll start mainly by listening, watching and playing chords and rhythms. Reading music is introduced gradually, when the notes on the page relate to things you’ve already heard and played.
I do think reading music is important. It opens up a whole world of musical knowledge and is useful even if you prefer to play by ear. Being able to read a lead sheet, fake book or popular sheet music helps you quickly see the chords, melody and patterns being used.
The aim isn’t to choose between reading music and playing by ear. They’re both useful skills — and each one helps you understand the other.
You don’t need an expensive piano. A keyboard with at least 61 full-size, touch-sensitive keys and a sustain pedal is enough to begin.
If you have the space and budget, an 88-key weighted digital piano is even better.
The first section of Pianoforall explains everything you need in detail — choosing a piano or keyboard, sustain pedals, stools, keyboard height, how to sit correctly and how to get properly set up before you begin.
