Nearly a month ago, I sat down to start learning to play piano. I ran across the site pianogenius.com which I had heard of before from comedian Tim Hawkins​ on his podcast and he raved about it. I watched the free videos on Youtube and then went to the site for a few more free videos. I could immediately tell how simple piano could really be. I had started learning the number system for guitar earlier this year and all that knowledge translates directly to the piano. But if you’re starting from no to little knowledge of music theory, these lessons teach you what you need to know to play songs right away. Easy to learn the basics but lots more room to grow. If you ever took lessons as a kid you remember how long it took to learn to play anything remotely interesting. With this method you learn how to play the songs you like, very simply at first and then learning to embellish as you get better.
After barely a month, I think my piano is nearly as good as my guitar that I’ve been practicing for a few years.
If you’re looking for something for you or your kids, I would highly recommend this set of lessons.
