A GREAT WAY TO LEARN. I ACTUALLY LOOK FORWARD TO PRACTICE EVERY DAY

“Robin:  I just wanted to write and tell you that your course exceeded my expectations.  I have purchased home piano courses in the past, but could never seen to make any real progress.  The lessons were either too complicated right from the start that I got frustrated and quit or there was too much theory and not enough actual playing music.

Then, I decided to give your course a try.  Is it possible to have fun while practicing the piano.  The answer in this case is yes. The video’s are easy to follow and each lesson presents something new, but builds on the previous skills you have learned. You still have to practice, but the practice is fun.  The lessons allow you to play and hear recognizable rhythms, while at the same time you are learning chords and music theory: a great way to learn! I actually look forward to practice every day.”

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.”

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST INSTRUCTION I HAVE EVER HAD

“Robin, Thanks for the information!  I really like all your memory techniques….I have never been exposed to that before….they really help. I had my doubts about an on-line course but this is by far the best instruction I have ever had. Anyway…. thanks again.”

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!”

THE COURSE IS PHENOMENAL

“First let me say that the course is phenomenal.  Always, I’ve asked myself how pianists played so effortlessly.

Your course answers the questions I’ve asked myself for years and spent lots of money purchasing courses trying to have my questions answered.  Much success!”

YOUR COURSE HAS REALLY SHOWED ME THE WAY

“Hi Robin, Started with the first book today, and I must say that this is excellent material.
I used to play the electric organ when I was a kid, and my problem is that I never really learned how to use my left hand, since I was taught to just play straight cords with that hand.

Your course has really showed me the way after a few hours of practice and I look forward to learning more from the rest of the books. Best Regards”

I ACTUALLY STUDY PIANO IN A CONSERVATORY

“Hi Robin, I needed to contact you to share my excitement

It’s hard to believe but I actually study piano in a conservatory. I purchased Pianoforall because the limit of my formal education are unbelievable. I have been trained to read sheet music and like a robot to translate what is written in physical motions at the piano. That’s it. My classmates and I don’t really understand music and don’t really have a clue of what we’re doing or what music is, we’re just trained to be robots playing robotically. As you said it’s like reading aloud correctly something in a foreign language without understanding what you’re saying. What really saddens me is the little focus on music itself. It’s like as if the teachers themselves forgot that the final goal is being able to make beautiful music.

I’d like to be a well-rounded musician and I’d like to understand the music I play, I’d like to feel the rhythm inside my body and I’d like to be able to arrange, improvize and compose. That’s why I think your course is perfect for me.

I’ve been working on the rhythms in book 1 these days and I’m so excited not only because I’m learning lot of important stuff but also because practicing those rhythm have improve my sense of rhythm even in the classical pieces I play. Rhythm has always been my weak point and just practicing your book 1 for one week improved by Bach and Mozart in an amazing way and even my
teacher is amazed at how more rhythmically precise and clean they are.

Thanks! I will keep you updated on my progresses as I move to the other books”

I AM TRULY AMAZED AT THE PROGRESS I HAVE MADE IN THREE DAYS!!!!

“Hi Robin, Never thought I would say this I thought I had tried every method when it came to not only learning to play the piano but understanding the method.I am truly amazed at the progress I have made in THREE DAYS !!!!

I have the benefit of being able to play but never to the standard I wanted and trying so hard to find that elusive sound, I have spent many hundreds of pounds and a lot of time with scales and all this entails and progress was so slow but I would not give up, it turned out to be very challenging and at times it felt like a battle which has gone on for ten years.

I read the reviews on your website and was very dubious as all this seemed too good to be true and claims made seemed very similar to so many others I had read and tried, but I did buy and your system just blew me away and I have been glued to my piano since downloading the book.

Thank you for putting the enjoyment back and I have made more progress with this method in 3 days than I had in 3 years. I have already started on book 5 and will complete the set I just cant get enough of this type of learning, and of course apply all I learn from you to all the numbers I have tried and failed to get 100% right. You have remedied this and I am so pleased to have found someone whose claims are more than justified.

Your style is so easy to follow and the video along with the sheet music and the audio, no one could ask for anything more. Many thanks and I will write again in about 6 weeks by which time I am confident with your help I can at last enjoy what I love doing and that is just to sit and play my piano.
All the very best. David Morgan.”

THIS IS TRULY AWESOME

“Robin, I just had to send you a quick email and say thanks for putting this course on the internet at such an affordable price. I got it about 2 weeks ago and it is incredible.

I have tried numerous programs in the past only to find that I got ripped off but this is truly awesome. thanks”

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.”

I’M SURE I WOULD HAVE PAID A FORTUNE TO TEACHERS FOR NOT EVEN NEAR THIS HIGH QUALITY

“Hi Robin, I recently purchased your product and I have to tell you: it’s absolutely wonderful!!! I’m still quite a beginner but I can follow your instructions and feel I improve daily! Though I have to admit I watch and listen to the videos thousands of times – but once it clicks in – it’s delightful. Thanks ever so much for your efforts of putting this whole set together, I’m really glad I’ve found you!

(later update)

Hi Robin, You are absolutely welcome to use my testimony (even the one I’m writing now… feel free to select only what you want to put in) and feel free to give my e-mail address to people – I would gladly tell them how much your material helped me!

I have to admit I did purchase a material (which by the way cost much more than yours) about 3 years ago, I was really eager to learn but it was so hard to follow that I got totally discouraged and since than I’ve hardly touched my keyboard. I got frustrated as my limited playing sounded boring and when I asked anyone (including a piano teacher) I was told: don’t worry just keep practicing. Now I know I was right – practicing what? If I don’t have a foundation – what can I build upon? This material has just given me this foundation – I didn’t only learn lots of rhythms and styles but I had my breakthrough in the ballad style for the first time The material is obviously not just for me who’s just starting this journey but for the more advanced ones too, so I saved the whole set for later times and keep coming back to it.

As you can tell Robin I am very happy – as what I learnt from you I’m sure I would have paid a fortune to teachers for not even near this high quality! You made it really affordable “

YOUR COURSE IS EXCEEDING MY EXPECTATIONS

“Robin, Your course is exceeding my expectations. I have been working diligently through the first book and I wish I had found this long ago. This has to be one of the best-kept secrets in piano instruction. The audio and video clips are excellent

While I applaud your philosophy, this course is worth far more than you are charging. Thanks again and I am going to get back on the piano. Warm Regards,”

YOUR TEACHING METHOD IS PHENOMENAL

“Your teaching method is phenomenal. There’s a lot of shortcuts and easy tricks. I say you have the talent to teach and make it easy on your students. I am very sure I will benefit a lot more from you.

Within a short period of time, I noticed a great change in the way I play piano and for that matter my guitar playing improves too.  Thank you so much and more power to you. God bless.”

CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH

Hello Robin – Just wanted to say how much I am enjoying your course – I find your videos along with the books so easy to understand, though I have to practice many, many times before I get my hands working together!! I am plodding along at my own pace and even like practicing!   Can’t thank you enough!

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR

“Ok that’s all done. Well done for putting together such a well informed product and delivering it in a logical and progressive manner.
Here is my testimonial if you would like to use it.

Robin, I have found your product to be the breath of fresh air that my piano playing has needed. It is really quite an outstanding approach for people like me who have some piano experience already. I just can’t wait to get to the later books. Well done for putting together such a well informed product and delivering it in a logical and progressive manner. Kind regards,”

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.”

Don Shonk

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.”

CLASSICALLY TRAINED BUT WANTED TO PLAY BY EAR

“Robin, I just wanted to send a message to say “thank you” for your brilliant piano course.

I grew up playing (mainly) classical piano, starting at 6 and carrying on until I left home at 18. By that time I was pretty good at rattling through Beethoven’s sonatas, but was always frustrated because I could barely play Mary Had a Little Lamb without sheet music.

My piano playing has been pretty sporadic for the 15 years since then, but a small upright has fallen into my lap, so to speak, and I was determined to get stuck in again. I wanted to avoid Bach this time around, so your course has been a total god-send! My hands still seem to know roughly how to find the notes, so I’ve been able to get through the first few books over a week or so to pick up the techniques.

I am now well armed with enough rhythms and chords to have a really nice basis to practice by playing them all (to tunes or with things like your circle of 5ths). Your system has been really helpful in getting me there quickly and now I just have to play lots and slowly build up my playing.

All those years playing classical and I never really developed a basic understanding of chord sequences. Can’t get enough of those inversions now!

Thanks again Robin. I hope I remember to let you know how I progress from here. The trick is to not fall out of the habit of playing (that much I learned from before), and by picking things up the way you have laid them out I’m confident that I won’t fall out of that habit. Good work! All the best,”

Ed Hoare

YOUR COURSE IS THE BEST OUT THERE

“Robin, Thanks so much for your answer to my question and the website to check out. That was a really fast reply !!! I feel better that you agree that hymns are difficult to play.  At least I will not get too discouraged if I have trouble learning how to play them.

p.s. I plan to continue learning the rest of the course.  Hope a lot of people realize what excellent material is contained in your course and that it is the best out there. Thanks again and take care. Best regards,”

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!”
