“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.”

“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”

“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.”

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, 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”

“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,”

“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.”

“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,”

“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!”

“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”

“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,”

“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,”

“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!”

“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.”

“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, 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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“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,”

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!
