About This Blog
Hi all... Now that I'm not playing professionally anymore and have become a piano teacher, I'm excited to extend my teaching on to Internet. My 'Piano Booklets Learning System©' is where beginning, intermediate, hobbyists, and even advanced piano students will discover a huge amount of information on all aspects of piano playing: with 95% of it gratis. Here are just some of the subjects I plan on covering.
Most subjects will have beginner to advanced instruction with accompanying articles, tons of examples (on real tunes) and live audio demonstrations. (Eventually I'll get to video) This is a huge encyclopedic project I'm taking on, so check back often to see what's new; or subscribe with you email or RSS feed. There will never be any spam emails from here. And there's never any sign ins, or sign ups to access any part of the blog.
Many of the methods I offer are not traditional. (some are) It’s the tips & tricks of the trade method. Think of them as ‘shortcuts’—a fast track way of achieving your goals. Beginners need to know the basics of course. Intermediate players will learn a myriad of tips, tricks, and methods to get them that pro sound without a lot of technical jargon. There will also be a variety of music and piano software reviews, book and website reviews, and recommendations.
There will also be the optional availability of very inexpensive 8 to 20 page booklets focusing on specific subjects of this blog that will allow you to dig in and study in more depth—if you feel you wish to. Hence the name, 'Piano Booklets Learning System©'. Yet, so much of that info will be given in my posts, and that will suffice for most.
With so much information, many opinions, and varied methods of learning to play piano available, it can become confusing for the learner causing a lack of focus and direction. Which books? Which tapes? Which teacher? Keep in mind, that your goal is to ‘play music’ (the kind you want to) In order to create self-motivation and desire, you need a faster way to arrive at your goal. It's my desire to help you realize your goals as soon as possible.
All this without an overabundance of technical jargon and time-wasting exercises and theory that may delay your potential progress. That being said... As you progress, you may wish to learn more advanced methods and techniques—that’s the time to jump into more theory and advanced subjects. That information will be available here at PBLS. Enjoy!
So... thanks, and I hope you enjoy and learn... and share!
And... as always, feel free to contact me with any questions regarding any of the subject matter. But first... Let’s make some music!
