“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”
“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,”
“I’ve just started your book n°1 and found it great. This is a very pedagogical way of thinking the language of piano. I tried some chords and it sounds like “REAL MUSIC’. As a french beginner, I thought I would have some difficulties with the course in english but in fact you are using very simple words and it is very easy to understand the explanations.
Thank you very much for this great course”
“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”
“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, 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”
“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,”
“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!
“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.”
“Dear Robin, Really I have said it all in the subject title! I am thoroughly enjoying your piano course. Although not a total beginner, I have not played for years and I did not reach a great standard when I did play. I was somewhat daunted at the thought of all the boring practice exercises I would have to do again, even though I know it is worth it in the long run, but you have turned my ideas round.
I have even been heard singing (!) some of the tunes (and believe me I have NO voice!) while playing through the various chord exercises. I never did that before. Also, the way you set out the course, with the little audio clips, is very good for making me really listen to the music – another simple thing I didn’t realise I was not properly doing before.
The video clips are also excellent – actually to see what I should be doing is so helpful. The fact that I can return over and again to any part I feel I need to improve is a much better way of proceeding. You can’t phone up a piano tutor every five minutes if you have forgotten something. I have only worked through Book 1 so far, but I am much encouraged. Again, thanks, Yours, Rosalind”
Hi Robin, One year almost to the day ( I slipped up I intended to make it one year exactly ) I emailed you this.
Hi Robin, I intend to give this course all I’ve got, but I’ve just turned FIFTY, and NEVER played, or tried to play any type of musical instument before. So if I can succeed and manage to play even a few tunes i’ill feel I’ve accomplished something, AND SO WILL HAVE YOU. I will get back to you in due course to inform you of my success. ( Let’s be possitive eh? ).
Bob Stuart
(later update) Well how did I do, nae bad at all. You have ( And this is no overstatement ) changed my life. I have always liked music but only to listen to. I can play that few tunes I set my goal as, only now I want to progress a little more. I must confess I have turned to the keyboard rather than the piano, a lot easier for a man my age to play just chords with the second hand.
I really do enjoy my time at my keyboard and find it so relaxing it;s not real. What’s the best tip you can give me to keep improving, ( and your not getting away with practice ). Feel free to pop this onto your web, because you are a GENIUS Robin and i mean that most sincerely. Thanks ever so much, and start charging a lot more for your superb way of teaching
“Hi Robin, This is a rattling good course. I have only just started on the tutorials and I really like the way you break down the accompaniments into separate styles.
I have bought quite a few courses and they all have their good points, but it’s good to learn from someone who is doing some teaching [to the musically dyslexic such as myself], and not just showing what a great pianist they are.
I have played guitar and banjo for a few decades and it is good to be able to move sideways into keyboards. The way you present it, it is almost as if, when teaching the various piano styles, you are talking about guitar / banjo rolls, which is something that I understand. Good stuff, sir. I look forward to seeing whatever else you produce. All the best.”
“Robin, Thank you so much for this course. I have wanted to learn to play my favorite instrument as long as I can remember. Now that I’m an adult, I am so glad to not have to learn from the child books.
Already being able to play popular songs just amazes me! I am having so much fun. Thanks again,”
“Hi Robin, Thanks for your mail. I forgot to include in my address that I am in Australia. I’ve downloaded book 1 and have not touched any other instrument since starting on it. I practice until my hands have cramped up and can take no more. It’s a wonderful instruction book. Thanks,”
Robin, Thanks very much for the CD – I have received it. I am really happy with this purchase, and as advertised, it’s exactly what I was looking for. I played drums when I was younger and I still play now but, I always regret not learning to play the piano. Now that I’m in my mid 40′s, I’m trying to do just that, but of course, the traditional method of learning to play the piano could be quite difficult and time consuming. I knew there were tricks and patterns to playing piano with a natural feel. I just needed something to guide me and your method is right on.
I’m pretty good with reading note values and time signatures and I do have a good ear but, I struggle with reading pitch – especially on both clefs. Your method greatly accelerates the site reading process. Now, if I could only tempt my kids. One’s into guitar and the other doesn’t know what he wants to do. He always looked at piano as this difficult impossible thing to play. Maybe this course might change things. You have structured this course very well and it creates an enjoyable learning process. Great course. Thanks again,
Hi Robin, I bought your course over a year ago but I only had a cheap keyboard at the time. I downloaded all the material and then put it away until I could get a better keyboard. I’m 18 years old and I took piano lessons as a child for 5 years, but I must say that I never learned anything from traditional piano lessons that I am learning from this course. In this course you teach everything, and I mean EVERYTHING a person should learn in order to play piano like a professional.
In this course, I am learning music and chord theory without even realizing it. And I am also learning everything I should have learned through traditional piano lessons, but I didn’t learn because the lesson structure just wasn’t holding my attention and I gave up very young. The amount of time and quality you have put into this is unbelievable. I did not expect this much when I bought the course. I absolutely love this course, so thank you!
“Dear Robin, I can’t tell you how excited I am. And for only $60, no less. Incredible. I’m a journalist who cut his teeth writing for Rolling Stone (1968-75) in San Francisco (I wrote a cover story on Van Morrison in 1971), and I have long cherished the dream of learning piano, esp. blues.
I’ve spent hours this past year searching the Internet for a self-teaching course and I’ve been so disappointed by what’s out there. Dreadful stuff, really. Who the hell wants to start off learning Danny Boy or Jingle Bells when what I want is Lady Madonna and Great Balls of Fire (I profiled Jerry Lee, too, what a hoot that was).
So, I count as a miraculous day that I found your site. You’ve really put it all together, makinfg full use of the power of Acrobat and QuickTime. No other course comes close. Your concept and execution is brilliant.
Just yesterday I bought a used Yamaha YPT-300 digital keypboard and stand (61 keys pressure sensitive), and I’m thrilled. I am one motivated student, and I look forward to writing a testimonial soon. I wish you every success. Thanks!”
“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,”
“Who would ever thought at age 60 that I could learn to play the piano. Your instructions make it fun and challenging to practice practice so you can move to the next lesson. I am in book one almost to the end in less than 10 days.
Thank you for making an ole man feel good about himself. I am showing up my grandkids who never would dream I could do this.”
“This program definitely helps me understand chords and read sheet music very easy. Greatest piano program ever. Its worth ten times the price.”
“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 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”

“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!”
