    Amazing!

    It’s my own fault if I do not practice and apply
    David Broden’s teachings of playing piano;
    But his teachings are right here, right now.

    Would recommend it for beginners learning sheet music and playing by ear along with learning music and how to use chords and voice them.

    I was skeptical about taking an online piano course, however, after only a few lessons I was playing like a pro. I also loved the diversity of the pieces represented in this course.

    Easy to follow lessons, not overwhelming. If you can carve out a set time each day to learn and to practice, you will be playing in no time at all! The instructor keeps each lesson short and simple and easy. Excellent course so far!
