Pianoforall – Reviews

“Hi Robin, Just wanted to say that although I have only just begun to tackle the 1st book, on nearing completion, I have learned more in the last couple of weeks than I have in years of messing around trying to cobble bits and pieces of theory and practice together – without I may add any success.

As a teacher myself I know how important it is to get into the head of the learner in order to discover ways to make things innovative and creative in order that things may stick. So far, from the very simple but incredibly effective way you have put this first book together, you have shown that you have a real talent and an intuitive way of teaching.

I only hope the others in the series are as good as this on – I’m sure they will be; just wish I had more time to explore them!! Regards
Paul”

“Hey, Robin.  This is David from Alabama writing you again.  Just wanted to give you an update and some more thanks.

For anyone questioning whether they should purchase this course or take a more traditional method to learning the instrumentI can testify that they would be much better off with Pianoforall.  I have just completed my degree in Music at the local college.  The knowledge I gained from your course is largely responsible for my having the highest marks in Music Theory I and II.

One can study for years the traditional method of piano with public domain songs that no one wants to hear (or play) and never come close to the understanding they will gain from a month of Pianoforall. The reason is that you teach first how music is put together (how chords are formed and the rhythms in which to play them) and then talk about reading.  You go straight to the heart of the matter.  Not only do students play faster they understand more about music.  This knowledge of chords (being able to name the notes of the triads and various seventh chords) is the reason I did better than everyone else.

You are not just selling courses.  You are selling the wisdom of an experienced musician. Thanks again. Good luck,”

“Thanks Robin for your help. Cleared the cache and was able to download. A note on your PFA. My wife bought the course and is working through it. I think it’s a wonderful course. I am impressed by all the work you put into it. Videos, samples, book.

Everything is laid out with simplicity and clarity. Couldn’t be better. Many things not explained in other beginner courses. Thanks again. Regards,”

Hi Robin, just finished downloading and all is working perfectly again. Subfolders now have contents and are stored on my desktop.

Thanks for your rapid replies to my queries. I wish I had the dedication to study your books every day, they really are working and the videos help tremendously. I can play something that sounds decent very quickly which is very encouraging. Thanks again

“Why piano is not explained in the manner that PFA teaches is completely beyond me! Why most piano teaching starts out in a classical mode (the books and methods all seemed geared towards this goal) is beyond me! It is akin to teaching teenagers to drive a car BUT before they can do so they must FIRST have 4 years of physics class to understand motion and acceleration, etc.

Anyway, sorry to rant but to say I’m pleased with the course would be an understatement. I’m thrilled. I’m not one who deludes himself to think that this course will have me opening for Randy Newman anytime soon or will be throwing out some Art Tatum tomorrow, but it has given me a great grounding for further exploration of the piano in the future without the fear that I’m not good enough or that the piano is unfathomable.
Thanks so much. Sincerely – Bob Bowen”

“Robin: I am very happy to have chosen this purchase, and I think that your attention service is fantastic because I’ve answered my problem immediately.

When I start tomorrow to learn piano with the first book I am sure that I love. When the time I will inform you by mail of my progress. Thank you very much indeed for your quick reply.”

“My only interest is learning to play Gospel Music. So I have been purchasing only Gospel courses for over 3 years. Pianoforall is the only course that really teaches you the basic foundation using various rhythms, songs and techinques plus more & more advance stuff.

There are so many things to say…. If I asked back for my money I would not be able to sleep & God would not forgave me. This is the course Pianoforall I have been searching for a long time.
I am in my 3rd book…it’s a blessing.

May God continue to Bless You & Family. Have a Blessed Day Robin”

“This program definitely helps me understand chords and read sheet music very easy. Greatest piano program ever. Its worth ten times the price.”

“Robin, I am halfway through the first book. Its a brilliant course which suits the way I wanted to learn perfectly. I will certainly recommend it. I am learning lots and having fun in the process.”

“Hi, Even in these beginning stages (I am only about halfway through the first book) I just wanted to let you know how brilliant and effective and fun this way of learning is! There is no course out there that I know of that knows the human musicality and how to tap into it, like you.

Whoever invented the steps, and even wording of your copy in the course is wonderful, is a great mind! I am finally playing the piano. The idea of being able to do that has eluded me all of my life, because of the myth of it being too difficult and more complicated than other instruments. It is not.

Is there anything else you are teaching, because whatever it is I will buy it. Teachers like you are hard to find in the world. Thank you so much.”

“Hi Robin,I received the CD of the complete pianoforall series in good time today , so thankyou for that. Just let you know, I’m just about through the first book, and i must say its been wonderful so far. You’re right how quick one can pick up piano basics so quickly, and further more such an interesting teaching technique. So I am really getting a lot out of it. Cheers”

“Hi Robin,

I am so thrilled with your course, I spent 10 years on piano lessons from Age 10 to 20years and never learnt anything like this. My new Yamaha Digital piano arrives tomorrow. But I have been looking through the course while I am waiting for it to come.and I am so excited and bowled over by your course. I cannot begin to express my appreciation to you for such a wonderful course. I regret terribly not knowing something like this years ago.

Thank you again. And if I may I will E-Mail you from time to time to tell you of my progress. With Kind regards.”

“Hi  Robin, I love your course, you are a Great Teacher with have a really effective way to teach, I like your format, and explanations of the lessons, easy to understand and very effective.

I would have never learned these techniques with any other course, at least not without years of study. Thanks Again,  Take Care”

“Dear Robin, I just wanted to say thanks for all your help! I’m so excited to start, I’m getting ready to go down to my piano now… I looked at 6 different online courses and almost bought two before I came across yours, I’m so glad I waited. Yours was better laid out, with more info and a professional feel, yet with ease that looked appealing! Thanks a million…”

Hi Robin, I like how you set out the course. I think it’s important to be able to sit down and just play a few simple tunes early on or else you just get bored and give up.

I found the videos the best. I’ve read about the circle of 5ths before but only after your demonstration realised I had mis-understood it and how useful it is.

The only trouble I have is getting the time for practise…but then I can’t expect you to sort out all my piano problems  Keep up the good work.

“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”

Hi Robin, I’ve recently purchased your course on piano for all and have found it to be really exciting and easy to understand. Thank you for a wonderful course .  Kind Regards

“Robin, You can put me in your Highly Satisfied Customer list! I’m in the process of working my way through the first book for the second time, and I’m stunned at how much I have learned! I’ve wanted to learn to play this way for years–decades, actually. I’ve bought courses, begged friends who play this way to teach me (they said they couldn’t teach it), tried to learn it myself, and had finally pretty much given up. And now, I’ve learned more in ten days than I ever could have imagined! Thank you!”

“Hey Robin, I received your course and wish to thank you for the wonderful gift. I’m well into Book 1 and love what I read.  Your approach is fantastic.  I love your way of telling the student to relax, Don’t get excited, and do as I say.  It’s quite a lesson to realize that you have removed all responsibility from the student, and say, do as I say and all will be O.K. I would like to continue to communicate with you as I progress, and yes I will tell folks that I meet, about You, and your course.  Always the Best and God Bless,
Frederick Renton,

(later update)
Dear Robin, I’m sending you a belated congratulations. I was going thru an advertisement for Yamaha Keyboards and Pianos and found a reference to a new Product Yamaha was pushing. They have removed all their prior advertisements for teaching materials and only recommend one source, and who do you think it is?  That’s absolutely correct, Piano For All. I told you earlier, I thought your course was very good, but, they’re captivated by it. Again, congratulations and all the best of Luck.  Your Old Student and Friend. Respectfully,”

“Robin, pianoforall is a delight, starting to play piano for the first time, i know i am very fortunate to have found this great program on the web, having looked for helpful programs online , i came across pianoforall, and feel like i won the lottery, when i chose this one, i would recommend pianoforall to anyone, it surely lives up to its name, and comes with great contact by email with  your good self  Robin, Congratulations to you for  what i believe to be the best program for learning to play piano on the on all of the web. thank you again Robin Best Regards to you, and fellow pianonliners.”

“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.”

“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.”
