I risked some money on dozens of ideas, but I can make you sure that now I am feeling on the top wave!

I’m amazed about how easy is the software I received and also I liked the colors and design. Believe me, I know a lot of ideas for piano online learning, but I can make you assure that now I’m feeling on the top of the wave!

The Piano lessons gave me an inspiration to explore and opened my mind to many possibilities in music

The main lessons were very clear, encouraging and inspiring.

I have always been interested playing and listening to music but have always wanted to compose and improvise. While I do not play the piano, I was once into singing and play other instruments like the sax, clarinet,

flute, guitar and ukulele but only in the amateur level (playing only at home, never to an audience).

Since enrolling in your course I bought myself a 37 key digital piano hooked to my computer so I can follow and understand and appreciate your lessons. I think I have been diligent and followed the course on a regular basis until I finished it.The lessons were clear and simple to understand. It made clearer my understanding of the basic music theories. What I also enjoyed very much was the lesson on inversions, and the secrets to improvisation.

I think that the most important thing to answer and share is ---Do I have results?

The answer is a resounding YES! --- While I am not a Piano virtuoso as yet ( I am only able to play basic chords with their different inversions), I was able to compose 3 Praise Songs which my children love and a song for my new grandson!

The Piano lessons gave me an inspiration to explore and opened my mind to many possibilities in music with a map to guide me. Thank you.

It's money well spent. The more I learn, the more I want to learn!

Your course teaches exactly what I want to learn - theory. I have never had a teacher and this really helps me understand. The more I learn, the more I want to learn! It's money well spent, imo.

Like you Rod, I have been through many piano teachers, none of them took the time to break down the theory, which is so so important. Thanks, your interactive teaching is bar-none the best I've come across in all my years of trying to master playing the piano.

It is really the first time that a course has brought me such satisfaction.

It is with pleasure that I write you this message in my bad English but I will try to do my best. Actually I have read all of your course and I must say I have understood all the you explain in that course. Now I must practice. It is really the first time that a course has brought me such satisfaction. Chords, intervals and scales were clear and comprehensible for me. Rod, I must tell you, your course is fantastic for simplicity. Thank you.

I’ve read through the notes drafted by our heartfelt feeling and zealous to the knowledge of understanding better of piano fundamentals for others. I like to take this opportunity to thank you for the contributions and efforts. I was a beginner in learning piano through self taught and studied form note for past 4 years. I was disheartened and give up few time during that period. But through some encouragement, I have started and begin practicing it. After gone through your lessons, I felt a better understanding of the construction of the chords and their interval relationship.

Congratulations on your team. I have brought a couple of questions or issues, not many, but I always got a prompt reply providing a solution. Your team's communication with students is good, even when the solution is not immediate, they let me know they are working on it.

Hi Rod, I have read through the whole thing twice, and I will soon sit down at the piano with it as well. Thank you so much for the great work. It was a really great way not only to learn more about the piano, but also learn some music theory while we’re at it. It contained information that we probably must have paid “rip-off” prices for at Amazon and places like that. A very balanced language as well, when it comes to be the fact that you didn’t know the experience level of your readers. Again thank you so much for this report and I can’t hardly wait ‘till the next one. My hands are itching after learning more about chord progressions, harmonize scales and so on. Oh and Pedro, I like Danny Elfman's music very much, I would not call him my favorite movie composers, but he's not so far away.

5 STARS. I am not an easy customer, believe me. I bought many online piano courses before.

Hi Rod, the course is really amazing, and I am not an easy customer, believe me. To give a 5 stars feedback like that is because I really liked it. Before knowing about your course I researched a lot and had really bad experiences with other courses that I bought and returned due to my complete dissatisfaction. The other reason why I am spending my time with this review is because I really value good work, I know that creating a course like that was much more than just developing a software, I believe countless hours were spent trying to figure out the best way to format the content. I had similar problems in the school trying to find some books that would really explain the essence of Calculus, the majority of books that was finding were just using the 'Formula' memorization approach. When I found one that would teach me the reasons why and how to build the formulas based on the foundations, then I could learn Calculus and never forget again. I see your course in the same way. Valid to mention that your course is also helping me with Music Theory in general, and helping me to get better on the Guitar as well. I am probably not progressing as fast as I would because I am spending time with the Piano and Guitar at same time, I don't know if that is the best approach, but I really can't stay away from my Guitar, so I believe I will take more time to be really good on the Piano, but I am enjoying the process. Thanks a lot, and I wish you millions of dollars of revenue with this course, because you deserve it.

The course, the explanation, the pedagogy is excellent ... it is really magnificent

I'm working every day, playing scales and chords and trying to learn the intervals/two,threes, fourths and fifths and their relation to creating chords. At the moment trying to learn to play blues-scales and have written my first little piece here (a blues with 12 intervals). My hardest problem is to make the left hand work, to be able to make a baseline work and of course to learn all the chords and their inversions etc. A lot of work ahead. But the course, the explanation, the pedagogy is excellent ... it is really magnificent. All the best to yourself, the crew and the learners.

I could not believe that there exist such logic to music playing, maybe this is what differentiates average piano players from the exceptional ones. After I studied your lessons the music sheets suddenly become so much more clear than ever before.
I have a dream on being able to play piano on stage, and with what is coming, I do not think it is impossible anymore.

I was so excited after reading the first few sections that I actually placed an order for a new piano, to replace my old keyboard!

Your course is very innovative and powerful! I wonder if you've already known that I'm also an engineer, so I really like the idea of discovering the "The Logic Behind Music". It fits my background so well.

I’m fascinated by knowing that music is creating and releasing tensions at the proper time.

You are doing great job by spreading these essential lessons, for everyone interested not only in piano but in the classic music. I enjoyed reading your book and fascinated by knowing that music is creating and releasing tensions at the proper time. It gave me a vital view to see at the music. Currently I have learnt several indian classical Raagas- which gives very mysterious sound and send listener into another planes.

Your lessons are amazing - I would like share your work with my fellow teachers

I am and adult person who dreamed to be a musician, but life has been different for me. Now I am studying music and choose as my second instrument piano. My first, is accordion a piano. The I learned studying basic theory and by intuition, is very hard to me understand in theory. The most difficult actually is to harmonize. I found you looking for Theory of Armonia. Your lessons are amazing - I would like share your work with my fellow teachers at FOUNDACION ORQUESTA SINFRONICA JUVENIL DE COLOMBIA, FOSJC, Bogota, Director Ernesto Diaz. Thank you very much for your help!

It is amazing how much information you have packed into 111 pages.

I really like the way you use intervals to explain music. It transforms my piano from an instrument that plays sounds to an instrument that speaks and and express a language in which I determine the message through understanding intervals.

I found that the Music Fundamentals is a reinforcement of what I have already learned.

Although I have been taking piano lessons with music theory for three years non-stop, currently taking a break. I also downloaded and printed out the Piano-Charts Booklet, which is sitting on top of my piano as reference.

I read it until the last page and couldn't put it down! It's amazing.

Thank you very much for your email and I really appreciate your and your team's effort in The Piano Encyclopedia.  I spent last night beside my piano reading the whole book - it felt hard to put it down - and I read it until the last page. It was so great because it came to my mind so easily. It’s amazing about the building blocks of intervals that make chords and scales & the combination of tension & relief in music. I realized that I had never got them properly before reading your book. Thank you very much! I really appreciate your willing to share your experience in learning piano with all of us. Again, thank you very much for the book. I really appreciate you work.

I used to study piano when I was younger, but the fact that I did not find a teacher that would teach me music frustrated me.

I really enjoyed going through the Music Fundamentals (PT 1) booklet. I just bought another one and will restart studying but this time on my own, as I don’t have much time anymore either for lessons but your booklet was very interesting.

The Music Fundamentals Report is a real Piano Encyclopedia because you present here all the steps, one by one to create piano chords.

Thanks for the Music Fundamentals Report that you created in a very clear and transparent way. I already read it and keep practicing the chords and intervals to have a good base for the next piano lesson report.

I recommend this for any one who aspires to play piano and not just play but even knowing what the chords and intervals really mean.

This course of music fundamentals for piano is really very useful and im not just saying it - I’ve experienced it. It's very legible and a must for beginners. Even I was a beginner.

This eBook is to me a "blueprint" or skeleton of why and how music works the way it does.

I’ve never been playing piano for two years, and have taken college classes, private classes. But this eBook, Music Fundamentals, I instantly thought, “this is what was missing from my education.” It makes it so simple to understand, the whole tension/release relationship in music was just spot on.

I very happy with what l have learned so far.

I’ve been working away at the lessons and doing the practice, I try to spend at least a half hour at night working the program. I’m also trying to get more comfortable reading the sheet music and becoming comfortable knowing what note on the sheet music is on the piano.

I am happy that you have freely given this information over to us so that we can one day write our own music.

I read your story and was blown away by it. I would love to be able to play the piano and write Christian music. This is a stepping stone for me, and a huge blessing as the material you have given us freely allows us to do this and this is my first step to achieving my goal.

Comparing with other options I found out that your encyclopedia, could be, probably, the number one reference worldwide. Success for you, and lucky for me, because I’ll be one of the first happy to pay for it.

I have looked on different websites to try and find something that would help me on chords.

This was the easiest approach.I’ve never been coordinated or very consistent in anything I’ve tried to play. This has helped me, along with a prayer. I am very thankful to have found such a wonderful way of teaching, thank you very much for that!

I think that your lessons should allowed me, as a music student, to understand easily many things.

I think that your lessons allowed me, as a music student, to understand easily many things which seems cryptic to me in the past and this enjoy music learning. It’s a pity that many music teachers make their pupils bore and hate music performance or musical theory.
