Perhaps you may be able to relate to some common problems facing students who have had experience playing the piano . . .
Traditional Lessons
Traditional, reading-based lessons often start by learning theory and notation.
While these are certainly essential skills that piano students need, learning to read before learning to “speak” the vocabulary of music is actually backwards from the way that people learn a new language — which is exactly how music is processed by the human brain!
If you’d like to make piano your “native tongue,” but feel that traditional lessons have stifled you somewhat, this program can help you extend and expand your current capabilities.
Playing by Ear
If you’ve learned to play piano “by ear,” then you have begun to rely on a single tool in a musician’s entire arsenal of strategies and skills. A more holistic approach is necessary if you want to really up your game.
If you’d like to feel equally competent whether or not the sheet music is in front of you, there’s a better way to harmonize your skills that is less frustrating than trying to memorize the lines and spaces.
Simply Music can continue to refine your ear while layering in additional senses and rounding out your musical skills.
YouTube and Generic Online Lessons
While the appeal of learning from online videos is quite obvious by now, learning with a teacher is still the most effective way to make fast progress in piano lessons. A live teacher can see what you are doing objectively and make corrections. It’s like having a personal trainer at the gym.
With Simply Music, you get the best of BOTH worlds:
- A live teacher to coach you through the peaks, valleys, and plateaus of progress.
- Online videos to access at home, with step-by-step recaps and instructions.
