Piano Lessons
on: January 01, 2015, 02:42:55 PM
Hello Guys I recently purchased a CD of this website which has been teaching me how to play the piano I am now one of the best in my school currently at Grade 4 in a year. This software has helped all the way through my life teaching me from the basics to the advanced parts. I feel like I needed to share the website with others people willing to play the piano.

Hope you check it out and find out how good it is!!

Did you ever take "official" in-person piano lessons?

What do you mean by in person.
It a CD that basically has 200 videos of this someone teaching you how to play the piano.
It takes complete beginners and makes them into intermediates in the fastest amount of time that is why you have to pay for it because it is the fastest method known at the moment so quite a lot of people who are lazy and don't like to do lots take it bit nevertheless its made for everyone.

Its totally worth it because it has a money back guarantee if you feel it hasn't worked on you so that's great to know you should try it out at least.

This was the site that I was given by one of my friends who actually gave me the link and I don't think its possible to be associated with the website.

It certainly is possible to be associated with the site: anyone involved in creating the site would most definitely be associated with it :)  ;D

OK, so if you would like to upload a video of yourself playing, to show us how effective it is, we could be interested.

This board is filled with extremely competent pianists. Very few people here are complete beginners - why would they join a piano forum if they weren't serious about piano?

Some of our members are piano teachers who would be interested in the way you play now. We have legendary topics every so often (with hilarious results) where a first year student who has "mastered the first part of Fur Elise in 4 months and is now working on the other parts" wants to know if Fantasie Impromptu is a good next step. Hubris knows no bounds. If you play as well as you say you do, they will evaluate the method and see if there's anything they can adapt to their teaching.

My personal thoughts remain unchanged. There is no better method for learning the piano fast. The best method has been known for hundreds of years; 1 hour of mindful practice every day with 1 hour of warmup (or however much you can handle beyond that amount. Beware, it is boring and difficult) and a teacher to keep your ego in check and guide you forward...and help you out when you get stuck.

So no. Nobody here is going to try it or buy it. Especially if you can't prove that it works. Also, god damn man did you know Youtube exists.

Ok, just keep in mind that there are tons of 13-year-olds who far beyond grade 4, and the majority of them have made this progress through the methods that telekineticturtle described (or similar ones). So I wouldn't go so far to say that this software is the best and quickest way to learn piano.

Yes but it takes a great amount of time if you take 1-1 lessons and I have had experience of that in the past when I started?

Sometimes the reason it takes longer with a teacher is that they don't accept shortcuts and poor quality of playing, but when one studies alone one can often get away with anything...

So if quality of playing is of no importance and it's enough just to get through the pieces, then it's probably a lot faster to do it without a teacher.

That's bollocks. If people feel they can learn piano by video, then they're morons.

If they feel that they can play like a rote-playing monkey by video, then they're right.

If you don't like I don't care because it works and that's it I'm only giving people my personal experience and I know your name is hardy practices or something and you practice hard but I'm just showing you clearly that it works.
If you don't like it go away ignore the post.

Have you?  I've taught (successfully) for over 25 years.  CD's have their uses but they don't evaluate your progress (which could well be quite poor) for you.

Very simple - has anyone ever had feedback (positive or negative) from a CD?
