Teach Yourself Piano Step by Step - DVD Video. Here's an easy video tool designed for older children and the adult hobbyist who wants to learn piano on their own.
Many parents use this book and DVD video to teach themselves Piano by Number, and then chords, which they later teach to their children.
It has become a favorite of adult hobbyists and parents who are homeschooling their children and want to teach them the rudiments of piano.
There's a foolproof checklist system that guides you in gradual steps through the maze of beginning music theory. It's easy!
Teach Yourself Piano Step by Step - DVD Video Let's face it, most "teach yourself" piano books such as "Piano for Dummies" or "Play Piano in a Flash" go much too quickly for the average beginner, even adults, but the Piano by Number method is just right for older children and adults, as well as the youngest of children.
For example, consider a popular course these days, "Play Piano in a Flash." This course presupposes you have at least a passing fluency in reading music. Specifically, in order to make use of such a course, you'll have to first master reading and playing the treble (right hand) clef, a skill you may or may not have, but most likely don't have fluency in reading.
That lack of fluency in reading piano music is probably what brings you to these very pages.
But in contrast, Piano by Number is easy to pick up entirely in a few minutes, and requires no special music reading skills to enjoy. Click here to try it online.
In Piano by Number, you'll put numbered stickers on your piano and then play familiar songs like Jingle Bells (see a list) immediately. Anyone can do it!
Then you'll learn to play simple piano chords, (three piano keys played with the left hand) step by step, until you're able to play dozens of songs with both hands.
In this course, you slowly expand your expertise until you can play much more complicated and satisfying songs.
Our method was created by a leading children's music educator, Emmy Award winning composer and Broadway veteran John Aschenbrenner, whose distinguished academic background includes the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Southern California, and Trinity College of Music, London.
