What do you guys think?
on: August 14, 2010, 04:48:13 PM
Hello,

I came across this site Click Here. And they offer online piano courses. I was about to purchase, but then I thought I would ask for your opinion.
I never took an online course before and I wonder if it works out well? I used to play piano with my tutor, but then I had to move, so I haven't been playing for years. Now, I can't force myself to start playing again and an idea of getting a tutor now sounds expensive and ridiculous.
What do you think, should I order this online course? Has anyone tried this before?

P.S. I'm new here, PianoStreet looks awesome.

I think your post reads like the kind of spam that's become increasingly common on message boards, and there are several red flags here.  You should be aware that stating neither the name of the product nor the legitimate web address of the website is suspicious.

If I'm wrong and your inquiry is sincere, I apologize—but I would never click on a link to a site called "e11f6-9pjlf1o69gqbofpr5s1m.hop.clickbank.net" (or any other URL that's been camouflaged, aliased or abbreviated).

Hehe, for some reason I thought it just might be another Rocket crock ... but I didn't imagine lightning could strike so many times in the same place.   ;D

I had a coach who got sent home from the Vietnam war because he got struck by lightning.  Actually, this fellow had apparently been struck by lightning three times in his life  :o ... and had been fired from at least two coaching positions  :-X.  Oh, how I miss his chewing tobacco kisses ... wait, what?
