    Regarding the Piano Lesson Reports...

    Yes.. While we continue creating the rest of the product and developing the new Piano Encyclopedia's Community, we are going to be releasing these periodic piano lesson reports so that you can start practicing chords, scales, and get a sneak peek into composition and improvisation tips, even before The Piano Encyclopedia comes out!

    As I mentioned on our previous post, we really want to THANK YOU for all this time you have been anxiously waiting, so we hope that these piano lesson reports that we are going to prepare for you, every two or three weeks, make the waiting time shorter and a more enjoyable ride, while we test and finish developing the Piano Encyclopedia's Main Piano Lessons courses, the new interactive Community platform, and all the new exciting features that we've working on the past months and we mentioned our previous post.

    So now you are probably wondering, what exactly am I going to learn throughout the FIRST Piano Lesson Report?

    Even though The Piano Encyclopedia is both for beginners, intermediate, and advanced students alike, we actually weren't sure about where to start the Piano Report Lessons.

    However, lucky for many people that are just starting out, we have decided to make our first Piano Lesson Report start right at the beginning! This way we'll be able to provide you with more advanced material and composing tips in the following Piano Report Lessons, while making sure that everyone has understands the basics. This will be also a great recap for many intermediate and advanced students too, as we'll be teaching some fundamentals with a different approach that will surely make all the rest easy.

    We'll be stressing on the understanding of the relationship between chords, scales, and music intervals- right at the beginning- so you'll be able to see songs from another perspective and advance quite fast, as we move quickly into the world of composing, improvising, and understanding music!

    Let me give you a sneak peek into some of the things that are included into our very first Piano Lesson Report, so you know what you are going to get:
