Why I created an adult online piano course:
After decades of studying what worked and what didn’t for my students, I developed a simple step-by-step system that focuses on the absolute of piano and music learning.
You’ll learn how to play the piano even if you’ve never touched an instrument before.
This system provides a solid foundation that you can build upon endlessly to level up your piano and music skills. The program is structured into many modules and steps that teach what you need to know, exactly when you need to know it.
Each level builds upon the skills you’ve mastered in the last one, so you don’t have to worry about what’s coming next. Once you complete in one level and achieved those goals, you graduate to the next, as well as reviewing the skills that you've learned to keep your foundation, strong.
It’s A Simple, Straightforward Plan.
The amount of "Swiss cheese learning that I have seen online, and in person is simply astounding! No, it's not about " a quick fix", especially when learners get frustrated and end up, quitting, and never realize the beauty that the musical arts can provide within your soul & life!
There’s no skipping around or learning things in the wrong order, which leaves you frustrated, trying to figure out things that are too hard for you.
Within this course, you’ll never feel overwhelmed or like you’re in over your head. You’ll progress steadily, accomplishing goals at each level, giving you the confidence and motivation to continue.
Also, I am able to check in and see where you are at! Often times I reach out just to check in and to provide insight!
This course is completely self-paced, so you can practice at your own speed & schedule. There’s no pressure, to speed thru it!
Ok so I’m halfway through you course. OMG Jim, you’ve done an amazing job!!! If anything your dedication in creating this course from covering the basics like beginner notes and keys to a little advanced such as rhythm and timing is outstanding. Even for those of us who are already familiar with these concepts- your approach to it all is insightful and beneficial. Just brilliant- your hard work shows. Thank you for a job well done 👍
