Classics By Ear – Bach Preludes – Reviews

“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%!”

“Love this course! Inspired to play again after a “little” break of 60 years. Breaking the piece into sections and identifying the memorable elements of each section makes it easier to memorize and adds tremendously to the pleasure of playing. Warmest thanks for this wonderful method.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The resource pages are amazing!!! Definitely does great job at breaking information down into multiple concepts/pathways to learning & memorizing/reading notes while getting some real progress learning beautiful pieces (not stuck doing Mary had a little lamb!!!).”

“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!”

“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!”

“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?”

“Your methods are totally accessible. I couldn’t ask for more, as someone who wants to play, has minimal time to learn, but will put the time and effort in for the result of beautiful pieces like this and those of your Satie course. Thank you!”

“Robin Hall is an excellent piano teacher and I definelety recommend that you buy all of his piano courses because you will see outstanding results with your piano playing.Because of his exellect teaching, I can now play bach in C minor and major perfectly by ear!

I loved every minute of this course!”

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

“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”

“Another awesome course from Robin. This is my third course from Robin on Piano. Loved the piano-for-all (still in progress) and the Erik Satie (finished 2 out of 3 pieces) and now this preludes from Bach enriching my musical journey. A very nicely and carefully created course content. To be honest, its little more than I required (as I’ve been consistently playing for over 10 months now) but I can understand a real beginner would need all the details/help which the instructor has covered in this course.

This is hands-down the best classical piano course online. I’m done with prelude-Cmajor for now and can’t wait for improve it before I jump into Cminor. Dear Robin, Thanks you sir… hope you keep on creating such courses covering classics…. and possibly some Chopin pieces (psst: Waltz in A minor).”

“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.”
