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 “

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.”

I THINK IT IS INCREDIBLE

“Hi Robin, Recently bought your series and think it is incredible.  My mother was a classically trained pianist and my father was a bar room “by ear” player and I always wanted to be sort of combination of them.

Your set of books has made it all fun for me again.  Could never be bothered by all the technical stuff, just wanted to sit and play.  Piano For All is great. Thanks, Andy”

YOU HAVE A REAL TALENT AND AN INTUITIVE WAY OF TEACHING

“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”

I DIDN’T THINK I COULD MAKE THE PIANO SOUND THIS GOOD SO QUICKLY

Hi Robin, Your course is everything that you and others said it would be. The lessons are do-able and satisfying. Your videos and sound bites make everything quite clear. I didn’t think I could make the piano sound this good so quickly. If I weren’t so lazy, I would be doing even better. I would highly recommend your course to anyone who wants to learn the piano. Thanks so much. You are making a dream come true.

THIS IS THE COURSE I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A LONG TIME

“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”

I CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY THIS IS THE BEST TUTOR BOOK I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS.

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for the fantastic Piano Tutor Books.  I am nearing the end of the first book and can now confidently say this is the best tutor book I have ever come across.  I find your method of teaching piano from a rhythm standpoint very helpful.  I have been playing guitar for some years and as a result I have been able to relate really well to your method.

I found with the standard way of learning Piano from other books,  that I was struggling from the start.  To use the guitar analogy it would be like trying to play like Eric Clapton from day one.  Using your method, I found that I could gain pleasure from playing a backing rhythm almost immediately, just like strumming a song on the guitar. Once again many thanks.

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.”

MANY THINGS NOT EXPLAINED IN OTHER BEGINNER COURSES

“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,”

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”

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.”

REALLY EXCITING AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND

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

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.”

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!”

REALLY EASY TO UNDERSTAND BY THE SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE LAYOUT

Thats great thank you , I would just like to let you know i thought the fist five books were really helpful, the books were really easy to understand by the simple but effective layout, it was great to put all the information together and get a really good sound, Cant wait to read through the next five.

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”

LEAD SINGER BUT ALSO FRUSTRATED PIANIST

“Hi Robin, Thank you so much for the course. You have a lovely teaching style and I will benefit as I am the lead vocalist in a function band but also a very frustrated pianist!

This course is exactly what I have been looking for with all the shortcuts that have been such a mystery to me for years. Kind regards. Paul”

YOU HAVE EVERYTHING PERFECTLY LAID OUT

“I really like your program.  I actually bought it for my son.  It basically teaches how I learned to play piano after years of frustration with trying to sight read.  However, I had to teach myself by using the chord symbols above the staff in sheet music.  I got pretty good at it, but I know that your program will motivate me and teach me a lot more.

You have everything perfectly laid out in a great sequence.   Nice job!, Thanks, Jeff”

YOUR COURSE IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC

“Robin, I purchased your course a couple of years ago and I must agree with the other comments that your course is absolutely fantastic.

It makes the complex understandable and for those of us who don’t want to master music theory, it gets us playing quite well in a short time. I can’t say enough good about your program. Thanks again.”

I AM SHOWING UP MY GRANDKIDS WHO WOULD NEVER DREAM I COULD DO THIS

“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.”

I’M REALLY ENJOYING IT ALL SO FAR

“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.”
