This piano course is Part 1 of a series of 10 courses. To see the 10 courses and their content, please scroll down.
When you really want to play the piano, you a need a course that takes you by the hand and guides you step by step.
There are many 1- or 2-hour courses that promise you that you can play songs after their course, and often that’s true: after such a course you can play several songs. But do you really master the piano? Are you really able to learn independently new songs yourself? Are you able to read music? Do you understand music theory?
Playing the piano is not a skill that you can easily learn in a 1- or 2-hour course. You need many more hours to really master this fantastic instrument.
That’s why this course is huge. And that’s why this course is split up in a series of smaller courses.
This is part I of this course.
When you’re a total beginner, you should start here.
If you already have some piano skills, you could eventually start in a later course of this series.
Scroll down to see all the courses in this series and to decide with which course you should start.
And oh yeah: also in my course you will be able to already very quickly play your first songs (like with those 1- to 2-hour courses), only in my course I will take you much further than that :-)
 ***********************************************************************************************
THE COMPLETE ONLINE PIANO COURSE THAT WILL TAKE YOU FROM A TOTAL BEGINNER TO AN ADVANCED PIANO PLAYER The way the course is created, with lots of songs and easy explanations of every detail, means that you will advance rapidly every day.
VERY QUICKLY, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY YOUR FIRST SONGS ON THE PIANO OR KEYBOARD At a very early stage, you will already apply what you’ve learned and start playing songs. And what makes it a real pleasure to practice, is that you play a song together with a band that accompanies you while you are playing on your piano or electronic keyboard.
LEARN PIANO IN A FUN WAY, NOT BY ONLY ENDLESSLY RUNNING UP AND DOWN THE SCALES In order to play the piano or keyboard well, you have to practice scales. But only endlessly going up &amp; down the scales is not a very fun way of learning the piano or keyboard, that’s why in this course you practice the scales in songs that contain just the notes of that particular scale. And of course, the band will accompany you in all the songs. This makes practicing the scales a pleasure!
*********************************************************************************************** Important:
<ul>
<li>If you’re a total beginner, then start with Part I (this course).</li>
<li>If you want to start in a later course of this series, be sure you master the skills and knowledge of the former courses. The only exception is for the reading music course (Part IX of this course). You could eventually start Part IX (reading music) after part I of this course series (you would only not yet be able to play the practice songs in Part IX, but for the rest you can follow Part IX without problem.</li>
<li>Again: if you already have some piano skills: look at the course descriptions below to see in which class you should start. Be sure to master the skills and knowledge of the former courses of the series.</li>
