Outline of the Program
PianoForAll is a comprehensive, 10-module training program that teaches you everything there is to know about learning how to play the piano – from start to finish, or rather, from beginner to advanced levels. The program comes with over 200 lessons that are separated into 10 written training modules, video tutorials and 500 audio files. The lessons are thoroughly detailed to ensure an easy, self-taught experience. These training modules also come with detailed, step-by-step instructions, as well as pictures, diagrams and descriptions that guide you through every part of the process – from learning where to put your fingers to playing advanced ballads and blues.
The first four training modules create the foundation for the rest of the training modules, all of which are put together in a strategic sequence so you’ll want to follow them in order.
Here is a more detailed look at what you can expect from each training module:
Book 1: Party Time/Play By Ear / Rhythm Piano (83 topics)
- Getting to know the keyboard
- The key to playing piano instantly – CHORDS
- Rhythms
- Practice progressions
The first book is where you learn all of the basics to this program and piano playing. For example, it covers the different parts of a keyboard, the rhythms, chords, white keys and the black keys, the same 12 notes at higher and lower pitches, and so much more. You’ll find plenty of diagrams in this module as well that show you what hand and finger to use for the different keys. It’s basically your beginners guide all wrapped into one.
Book 2: Blues and Rock n’ Roll
- Layout of notes for playing the Blues
- Different types of keyboards
- Photos of where to place your fingers
- Written instructions on where to place your fingers
Book 2 teaches you the easiest way to learn the blues. These lessons are largely focused on honing the left-hand rhythms, and then, learning the right-hand licks. Don’t worry; it teaches you both!
Book 3: Chord Magic
- The all chords memory trick
- Diagrams of playing different songs
- Inversions
- Easy way to form inversions
- Common mistakes
Book 3 teaches you the different chords. It comes with all kinds of helpful techniques. A personal favourite is “the all chords memory trick”, where you learn how to build a major and a minor chord on the 12 tones of the piano.
Book 4: Advanced Chords Made Easy
- One Magic Formula to 9, 11 and sus4 chords
- Diminished chords
- Right hand cluster chords/li>
- Practice progressions
Book 4 is the last of the program’s ‘foundational stages’ and it teaches you how to bluff all three types of chords to play more advanced styles.
Book 5: Ballad Style
- Note finder print out
- Developing a basic ballad style
- Different exercises for ballad style
Book 5 teaches you how to improvise and work with the skills you already know. The focus is placed on learning the ballad style in this manual, with a strong emphasis on learning the notes before learning the actual tones. This includes a simple 6-step strategy that teaches you the ballad style before you actually learn the ballad process.
Book 6: Jazz Piano Made Easy Pt. 1 & Pt. 2
- Two-part series
- The magic blues scale
- A classic chord progression
- Voicing for show tunes
In book 6, you learn how to play the blues, simply by using only 3 chords. You also learn the unwritten rule that if you learn how to play one piece of blues, you can easily improvise and play them all.
Book 7: Advanced Blues and Fake Stride
- Instant transposer instructions + chart
- Advanced blues music diagrams
- Different riffs
Book 7 is all about learning how to incorporate right-hand chords when you’re playing the blues. There’s a strong emphasis on sevenths and some inversions, as well as Off-On rhythms.
Book 8: Taming the Classics
- Getting to know the keyboard patterns
- Key signatures
- Repeats
In book 8, learn how to play more advanced songs on the pianos. These tutorials take many of the things you’ve learned from the very first module and adds in a few extra steps that enhance the skill level at which you’re playing.
Book 9: Speed Learning
- Memorizing the scales and arpeggios
- Practice routine in the key of C
- Other tone scales
Book 9 teaches you how to play the piano faster simply by practicing scales and using ‘broken chord’ exercises that are provided to you in this module. The creator recommended that you spend one week with each key to get the basics of the different training exercises down pat.
Book 10: Bumper Resource Book
- Technicality of different keyboards
- Features of different keyboard types
- Connecting keyboards to the computer
Book 10 is the last training module and it comes with some extra information that can help you out as a pianist, but that are not necessary by any means. For example, you can connect your keyboards to the computer if you’d like or understand the different types of keyboards but you don’t have to in order to play.
