Pianoforall – Reviews

“Hey Robin we have spoke awhile back about your course..I started on book one and it is awesome..

I play acoustic guitar and sing but i am so excited to play piano now, and it so easy to create chord progressions with your method that the second day already im playing let it be progression. Thanks..it was a blessing finding you, music is my life.”

“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”

“Hi Robin, One week gone and I’m enjoying the first book.  Found some difficulty at the beginning with the fingering you suggested as I had been using fingers 1, 2 and 4 as a chord book had suggested prior to purchasing your course.  However I stuck with it and after a couple of days 1, 3, 5 became more natural.  I’ve got through to the country shuffle although not everything is perfected.  I have downloaded tabs for a number of the songs from each section that you have suggested at the back of the book.  So I have those to work on too.  Each day I go back and redo the early stuff before trying something new and then I finish with playing songs.  Some days I’ve been able to spend several hours at the keyboard.

So far so good and I’m really enjoying it all so far.  And my wife hasn’t complained yet but she is always very supportive of what I try to do. Kindest regards
Dave Foston,

PS  I thought you ought to know that I’m a 56 year old teacher of Computer Science and Maths.  I’ve spoken about your course to a couple of colleagues and shown them the materials.”

“Hi Robin, just a quick note, this is david from barnegat, new jersey i started your course about three months ago, i am on book 3 and still think the course is just great. books 1 and 2 were just the best,

i really look foward to sitting down at the piano now, and just have fun the licks and songs you use are just what i am looking for. i am 59 years young and grew up with all those tunes. keep up the great work and i will stay in touch, thanks again, david.”

“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!”

“Robin, Love the program. I am hooked on learning and you’ve made it even more interesting.

What impresses me the most, however, is the soft and clear presentation of the materials. No ego. No selling. Just music. Your bonus book explained a lot. Thanks for helping. If you are ever in Atlanta you have a place to stay.”

Hi Robin, I have been testing out your Piano for All series with my pupils who are 7-12 years old.

I usually use the Piano Adventure Series with them but I find that the classical ‘I, IV, V’ chord names they teach need to be supplimented by the ‘letter’ chord names so that children can understand they are the same thing just said differently. I downloaded three different chordal piano series and brought several books but I found yours to be the easiest to use with my pupils. The children are not the fastest but the great thing about children is that they don’t expect to learn things all in one go and are happy plugging away slowly each week.

I find that once they get to book 2B they are ready to have the Piano Adventure Series supplemented with your series. I have several of boys who really like Jazz and Rock so this method should be very good for them. The problem with children who are only trained using the classical method is that when they reach high school and wish to ‘join a band’ they have no idea what the guitarists etc are talking about. I’m sure that your method will make that transition a LOT easier.

I have only brought one copy but now that I have used it for a few weeks and the pupils are interested in it I am planning on getting my pupils who are benefiting from it to buy it themselves. So you can expect to see a few sales from New Zealand in future.

Thank you for such a well thought out and presented series. Regards,

“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,”

“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’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, 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.”

“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 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.”

“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”

“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,”

“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.”

“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”

“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,”

“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.”

“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.”
