“I’ve already learned using Robin’s First “Classics by Ear – Erik Satie” programme and cant fault his teaching style. Informative, simple and fun. Can’t wait for more!”
“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.”
“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”
“Absolutely the best breakdown of how to play piano I could imagine. The instructor is clearly talented as a teacher and knows how to teach piano in a way that is easy to take in bite sized pieces so you will not feel overwhelmed.”
“Very clear and easy to follow. Delivered slowly enough for me to “compute” think about what is being said and to touch the notes on my own piano. Very calm.”
“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%!”
“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!!”
“Very engaging and motivating, inspirational and encouraging. Robin’s tuition – as with his broader course PIANO FOR ALL (which I also own and have gained much from) – is again superb! Quite simply piano tuition worth its weight in gold, but very modestly priced – a massive “bang for your buck”! Buy it and try it for yourself and you won’t be disappointed, I promise you; indeed you’ll be chomping at the bit to have a go and progress to the next level of your musical journey, discovery, and competence.
Thanks, Robin, keep up the good work – and keep bringing us more superb piano/music lessons in the near future, sir! :-)”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
“The best tutorial, overall comprehensive, user-friendly, and not an intimidating MUSIC TEACHER. Thanks, Rob!”
“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.”
“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.”
