Our book and CD combo titled Popular Chord Style Piano
has sold tens of thousands of copies and is used in our
One Day Piano Workshops nationwide. We will soon be
having a sale on this program exclusively for our
Newsletter Subscribers. Here is some information on the
courseware.

Q. What will the product do for me?
A. It will fulfill the same basic promise I give to all
my students when they take my live seminar from me.
Namely, you'll learn to play any song, any style, any
key with two hands.
Q. You do all that in a three and a half hour class?
A. Yup.
Q. And the students actually learn to play?
A. Yup.
Q. How do you know?
A. By the time the class ends, students are in a frenzy
to get home to try my techniques on their own pianos. I
have to remind them to drive safely, to obey the speed
limits, etc. Also I get evaluations. I'll post some so
you can read them. Also I follow up with students, and
they follow up with me. Some of my graduates are
actually playing piano regularly in public now.
Q. You aren't doing any workshops near me. Why not?
A. I can't be everywhere.
Q. So what can I do?
A. Learn from these materials. Although I'd love to
meet you in person, this is how you can take the course
without having to leave your home. And at a fraction of
the price. If you were able to attend one of my
workshops, this would be the book and CD you would get.
It's essential for home practice and additional study.
This courseware can be used on its own, without a
workshop, as it covers the same material. What you will
be ordering is the exact product the workshop students
get and take home with them.
Q. Why is there a CD?
A. That's one of the secrets as to why this system
works. You will learn to play the piano the same way
you learned to speak your native language as a baby. By
listening and imitating and "jamming." You will
actually "jam" the language of music with me on the CD.
Q. So it's going to work?
A. Yup.
Q. You say these half price books are damaged. What
kind of damage?
A. Various things. Maybe an ink smudge here, a stain
there. Most commonly a corner might be bent. But you
will get a clean, fully functional product. And the CD
is most likely going to be brand spanking new.
Q. I'm nervous about ordering something that may be
damaged. Is there a guarantee?
A. You may return any part of the courseware within one
full year for any reason for a replacement.
Imperfections in the book may not even be noticeable.
However, since we're trying to clear these out, we will
not issue refunds. Only exchanges. But we're very easy
to deal with. We want you to be happy.
Q. Hey, I'm a total beginner, I don't even know where
Middle C is. Will this still work for me?
A. The first three pages of the book are for total
beginners. It covers all the basics. You should read
the pages carefully. Anyone who has some basic music
background already can skip these pages. No one gets
left out.
Q. But my wife has had years of piano lessons in the
past. And she still plays. But she can only play
classical music and can only play with music in front
of her. Will this program help her? It sounds kind of
simple.
A. Your wife learned to play the way most people learn
to play--by reading notes. The sad thing about that is
that reading notation is really only appropriate for
classical music. And the student can't play a note
unless the music is specifically written out. With this
course she will learn the basics from the ground up and
will be liberated from the confines of classical music
notation.
Q. When can I order it?
A. Soon. Very soon.

Hi, I'm Robert Laughlin, and this is my blog. After learning the piano in my early twenties, I played professionally in my late twenties. Then traded the bar rooms for class rooms. Want to learn to play piano? Give me three and a half hours with you, and you're there.
I find most of your posts incredibly offensive.
ReplyDeleteI myself am a classical pianist. I've studied for ten years now, and am planning to major in music. On your website, you continually imply that pop piano is superior to classical piano. You say that we don't learn anything fun, and that our art is stuffy and boring. On the contrary, it is my favorite thing to do, and I ven found it to be such when I was a young child. I work at a local high school as the accompanist for their spring musicals- most classical players also have the ability to play pop music, in case ou haven't noticed- and I can improvise, sing and play, and play from chord sheets as well. In fact, most music from the Baroque period revolves around improvised embellishments. My teacher told me when I was nine years old that she had finally come to see me as a pianist, because I had then developed the ability to put feeling and creativity into a song. You cone across as having a very narrow-minded view of classical music, and whether your program here is as billiant as you say it is or not, I'm hardly impressed by what I've seen.
We work our tails off, and feel that it is absolutely worth it. So please, be considerate of those of us who work so hard to truly master this instrument.
Excellent, Thank you for sharing this insightful article. I'm incredibly amazed that there has been so much research done on this topic, and you did your best, In any case, The portfolio management assignment writer help service can offer support to students who are having trouble with their assignment topics and who want to submit their papers on time.
