Playing the piano should be fun!
This quick method for learning how to play the piano is taught by splintering the skills, so the brain is never overwhelmed with too much to do at once.
Each skill is taught separately, using powerful memory hooks and musical shortcuts until it is rapid-fire automatic. Enjoy playing your favorite songs, at last.
You'll learn:
(1) fun names of all the keys...with
stories to help you remember where they live.
For example,
D is in the doghouse.
(2) how to play 24 easy major & minor
chords...picturing them by using shapes & images.
(3) rhythm...until it's automatic.
Forget
the notes while you get the beat!
(4) fast note reading...with sure-fire
tricks for moving the notes from the paper to the keyboard.
Put
the skills together and Presto! You can play!

Why you should learn with the Quick Piano fast chord method:
Your fingers will know it, so your brain can forget it.
Why is Quick Piano a superior method for learning how to play?
The reason both the Zoom-Type and Quick Piano programs by Renee Ellison work so well is their three distinctive aspects, which you will observe as you start to use them:
(1) Spaced repetition -- the skill is best learned in many short sessions rather than one long one.
(2) Right brain -- multi-sensory engagement, using the picture side of the brain, is the fastest route to the mastery of a new skill.
(3) Splintered skills -- you learn each skill separately, then when you put them together the brain jumps the synapses. For example, the keyboard pages teach the locations of the letters/ the keyboard notes. The practice keyboards train the reach and retract for the domain of each finger typing, and for playing the 24 major and minor piano chords.
Just what are the contents of Quick Piano?
Your Quick Piano course comes to you as 114 pages, 8 ½ x 11”, spiral bound. The course includes an introductory overview and progress chart followed by steps 1-16 (you’ll cut the pages of steps 1-8 to make booklets). Pages 90-113 are sheet music of dozens of songs with the melody notes and the corresponding chords for the songs you’ll be able to play. Scores of people have found our "picture" course enjoyable after trying the tedious left-brain approach of other beginning piano programs.
Plus, a huge bonus, free, at no extra charge, an audio CD to walk you through the course. You can play along with all of the songs in the book.
You'll have all this, for the price of one piano lesson!

By the way... learning to play the guitar?
People sometimes ask us for a similar course for how to play guitar. We refer you to Robert S. Brayton for the wonderful course he developed. Like our piano course, it includes (after the various steps of the course) lots of pages of hymns, where the right hand plays the melody line and the left hand adds the chords which are listed by their letter names -- just like in Quick Piano. His Website URL is www.fitlyjoinedtogether.com ~ and his email address is wmfg@fitlyjoinedtogether.com ~ phone (281) 252-0423 -- the letters stand for "worship music for guitar."
Ordering options: Quick Piano sells for $29.95 plus $2.50 for shipping and handling (plus 2.9% product sales tax if you're inside Colorado).
