“I am just blown away by this. I am kicking myself that I did not know this sooner. I would have been playing piano for years by now if I’d realised how easy it would be”….Would you like to know the four simple shortcuts that changed everything for her?
Using intuitively simple shapes and patterns, discover how to play songs in just an hour (side stepping common barriers to playing, such as having to read music). Designed to be just long enough to give you exactly the knowledge you need, yet manageably short enough that you actually complete it (no filler) it really is possible in just one hour to learn enough to have a lifetime of fun and enjoyment actually playing. I know it’s a really tall claim, but..read the reviews
But is it proper music? Well, that depends what you want to get out of it. Many people’s experiences of being taught music are ones of being made to feel ‘unmusical’. That’s because the dominant form of piano teaching is focussed on first knowing how to read music. We remove that barrier enabling people to experience the joy of playing incredibly quickly and easily, you can use this method to play any song you want, if you don’t think that’s ‘proper’ music because you’re not reading the notes then that’s ok, this isn’t for you, but generations of rock, electronic, country, pop, folk musicians would probably disagree with you.
All songs you hear are made up of chords. They are the building blocks of songs. If you know enough chords you can play any song. After doing the course you’ll know how to play 48 of them and we do it in under an hour.
“I am confident I could sit down at a keyboard and play any of the 48 chords covered, instantly without needing to refer to these videos; now I know the system. If you’d love to learn to play the keyboard or piano, this is for you. You will be playing all of your favourite songs in no time at all.”
To put that into a little perspective you can actually use the same four chords (IN THE SAME ORDER) to play thousands of songs (you’ll learn how to do that if you take the course).
“Making something that appears extremely complicated into something simple and understandable is an art. This course is the first I have ever done that had me hooked from the first minute, and Simon is a superb instructor. Student
I’m a professional musician with 20 years top flight experience, four record contracts, years of international touring, and major festival appearances. I stopped touring and started teaching finding that I was really good at explaining quite complicated concepts in ways that anyone can understand. Now highly in demand, I’ve set up this course to be able to share that knowledge wider
