FAQs

I'm totally new to the keyboard and music. Are the lessons and tutorials for me? Absolutely! If you're entirely new to music or the keyboard - or if you have experience but have forgotten much of what you've learned - there are 2 additional lessons to get you up to speed. Access to the introductory lessons is on the page for Lesson 1.

I have experience playing an instrument but learned traditional music (note reading). Are the lessons and tutorials worth my time? ​ Yes, very much so! With these lessons and tutorials, understanding will take the place of note reading. You will engage a different part of your mind and learn a unique skill set, which will open up doors to self-expression and creativity.

How much time will I need to take the lessons and learn the material? ​ Learning is unique to each person. Some people need more time, others less. The important thing is that you follow the 10 lessons and learn at a pace that makes sense for you. You will get the most benefit if you're able to carve out a little time on a regular basis to view the lessons and work on the material. The key is to enjoy this process and make a little progress each day.

Why don't we use regular chord charts with letters? How does the number system help me? ​ While many of our favorite songs appear to be unique, they really aren't. They contain chord progressions and patterns that have been used in literally thousands of songs. Chord charts that use the number system will help us to see and hear these patterns, and think about music in a more global way. The recordings with the animated chord charts, will train your ear and help you see and hear how much of music is reused and recycled.
