Piano on TV?

on: July 31, 2003, 01:12:10 AM

PBS broadcasts "Play Piano in a Flash" program often 4 -6 times a week. I just found out about it myslef. I can't wait to watch it on Aug 2 for the first time.

Any others?

I saw a bit of it on TV a few months ago. It seems geared towards learning very basic three not triads, picking out chord changes, and some playing by ear.

Not the quickest route to Carnegie Hall, but to each their own.

Well, I was hoping it was geared toward the real classical pieces. How can he teach the same cheesy-level stuff every day?

I would expect that when the viewers get advanced, having learned the basics, they would stop watching it.

I will just see in a couple of days. So any other piano shows on TV?
