An entire new world of music opened to me. By learning a few chords and simple techniques, I am off and playing. It has added immensely to the quality of my life. What better way to kill time waiting on my wife, than to sit down and play the piano rather than pacing and grumbling! A great day includes at least 40 or more minutes at the piano. My life has been positively changed forever. Thanks Scott!

First off, my family is blown away by how well i am playing! I am really glad I came across your product. Great job & Thank you!

B. Gonzalez, Seal Beach, CA


You really have changed my life! Seriously, your instruction has validated my many years of tune picking. I have had very little music training since my clarinet playing days in school, but have always wanted to play the piano, and you have made it possible for me. Thanks!

C. J. Burkes, Canton, Ohio


I have enjoyed the Piano in a Flash class. It is wonderful & inspiring. I've been playing a lot and believe I'm getting better all the time—slowly, but surely. It's great fun! Thanks again!

Julie B., Elgin, IL


Your course is great! In one week you've got me reading music and playing two-handed better than my previous lessons ever did. Although there is much practicing yet to do, it's fun now! You Da Man!

Mike


You de-mystified the whole process of playing the piano. I'm a pragmatic thinker. Your pragmatic and humorous instruction allowed me, for the first time, to completely understand "the process" for playing the piano and how it worked. I'm now ready to really play the piano —a lifelong desire that was constantly repressed by the thought that I didn't have the time, the comprehension skills, and/or the desire to "learn the conventional way." Thanks again for helping folks like me to learn how to play the piano.

D. Boles, Memphis, TN


What a wonderful job you have done with this Course. I can’t believe I am starting to “make music.” Lesson after lesson after lesson I get an “aha” moment. Even though I don’t always practice enough to get things mastered before our next lesson, I continue to be amazed at how things from weeks and months before “sneak” into my current playing. Thank you!

Chris

 
Your program is the best one out there for learning quickly. You make it simple, practical and easy to learn piano. Not only that, but you're very patient in your delivery of explanations, which is perfect for me.


Rafael, Orlando, Fl

 
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I took piano lessons as a child for about two years—the traditional, classic method. I didn't get very far, although I do know the notes and the key names on the keyboard. About a year ago, I had my piano shipped from my mom's home to my house, and I started lessons again. I quickly became frustrated because I wanted to be able to play and enjoy myself. I found I was experiencing the same frustrations as I had as a child. I felt like I was getting nowhere and hated to practice. Hence, I stopped practicing and playing. At any rate, I am so glad I found your program. Your humor is awesome, and I feel I can relate to everything you say. Thanks so much!


Carol GEE, RICHMOND, VA

 
I love everything you do! You present every bit of information in a fun, easy to understand format that helps the novice as well as the master. Keep up the great work. I love seeing all your latest projects. Thanks for everything!


J. Simon, Utah

 
This is the GREATEST course I've ever seen. It simplifies so much. It just all makes sense now. Thanks, Thanks, Thanks!

S.  Martin


I am hooked on piano thanks to you. Thank you so much for simplifying piano technique, which has always been overwhelming for me.

M. Misner, Champaign, IL


Thank you so much for your wonderful program. I am thrilled that I can actually wrap my head around something that has challenged me for years. Much appreciated. 


J. Grant


First of all, thanks for a revolutionary system. Without it, I would probably have abandoned playing long ago. Now I'm getting pretty good at playing and enjoying it at the same time.

J.J. Laplace


This is unbelievably easy. I just need a little more fingering work and to learn a few more chords. Thanks again. I have impressed quite a few people. You have made one of my dreams come true—creating my own music that will last for my lifetime.


Hornsby


I am having the time of my life playing the piano. No one ever told me that learning the piano is the same as learning the guitar —one song, one run of chords. Now finally, the piano makes sense to me. The big mystery is gone and this wonderful instrument is something that even I (a person who lived in screaming terror of the piano) can enjoy. I'm having so much fun. Thank you. A big fan, 


M Medawar, Raleigh, NC


I played a few instruments from 5th grade through college but forgot everything I learned. Forty-plus years later, it is you who inspired me to exercise my brain and fingers in order to experience the piano. I never would have ventured into this if it weren't for your style of teaching. Thanks for all you do for us beginners.

Lynne


Go Scott!  Thank you for your programming.  My wife and I love your teaching methods and NOW spend hours at our piano that once stood alone!


T. DeBacker


I've wanted to play piano ever since I was a kid (I'm 66 now)! There is no way I could ever adequately explain just how delighted I am with your method of piano playing. I'm having so much fun. Thank you so very much for giving me the tools to realize a dream I had almost given up on!

C. Smith

 
I've been enjoying music since high school band but have always admired the 'old timers who could sit down at the piano and play anything ... NOW, because of Piano in a Flash, I'm one of them!! I am SOOOO happy! How cool is this!


S. Heyer Sr., Mesa, AZ


I hadn't sat down at the piano for three years since I gave up the drudgery of lessons. After Grandma's piano came to my house to live, I wanted to take lessons from a "real" piano teacher. I became very discouraged when I was not playing music after several years of working in in beginning books. With your techniques on the other hand, I was so excited I couldn't wait to sit down and PLAY! I have been playing for at least an hour each day since. I am having so much fun playing REAL SONGS! Best part—I'm playing the songs as I hear them in my head. You gave me the freedom to count as I want. Each time I play the song, I play it differently than the time before—like a musician! No more guilt about all the money spent on lessons and the wasted hours spent practicing an abandoned piano. I can't wait to get home from work and relax by PLAYING songs I love to hear. Thank you for putting music in my life.

Marilyn C., Chillicothe, Ohio


I really enjoy and have learned a lot from your magical program. It is medicine for my soul! I struggle with depression, diabetes and glaucoma. When I play the piano, the room lights up like a Christmas tree. When I play I feel bright, clever and young again. I see myself as a musician that is fiesty, alert and always learning something new. I never thought I could learn how to play the piano, but you made it simple for me. Your piano lessons have touched me and made my life a better and brighter place. You made my life fun again.

J. Bilbrey, Marion, Indiana


After just one year, you have given me a whole new world of entertainment and enjoyment that years of piano lessons as a child never gave me. Thank you so very much.

T. E. Smith


I would like to say that I can't thank you enough for your "system." I guess I am part of the most desired market share—a middle-aged, upper middle-class guy. I never played piano in my life and always wanted to. I gave it a couple of tries, but all other programs didn't work for me. Then I happened to see you on TV. Now my happiest moments are when I go to the piano, put on my headphones, and "play" my keyboard. I wouldn't let anyone listen to me playing, not yet anyways, but who cares? I am the happiest man! Seriously, I really appreciate what you have done for me and my life. My dreams are coming true—Thank you so much. I am telling everybody I know about you. You are doing something very important for so many people.

V. Gitt


You have a great product! I started playing the piano after seeing one of your PBS programs. Having just turned 57 but having wanting to play for years—I discovered the hardest part of your program was getting off my butt and getting started. I have so much fun learning new songs that I can't wait to sit down at my keyboard at night. Thanks again. I'm having a ball!

 D. Burgoni, Indianapolis


I’m using your method and having the most fun possible playing from lead sheets—something I didn’t ever think I could accomplish. I have my favorite songs, which I can improvise and sound good playing. I usually pick one or two new tunes a week and they end up sounding pretty good! I had taken a few traditional lessons previous to your program, and after months all I learned to play was “The Entertainer,” “Fur Elise” and “The Swan.” With your method, I have learned a whole bunch of popular tunes and have fun not just learning them, but playing them! Keep up the good work. I am a great fan of yours. Thanks again for being there.

H. Dlugatch

 
I am really enjoying playing the piano! At Christmas I could play all the songs in the starter book that I had. Now I have moved on to oldies, 60's and 70’s music. I can even play Misty! I play 5 times a week for an hour or more and really enjoy it. I shared your technique with my 87 year-old Aunt. She likes it too. Thanks for coming into my life. 

L. R. Fedorchak, Kalamazoo, Michigan
 
 
I’m a jazz piano major at Purchase College Conservatory of Music, and I just wanted to let you know that your program has been revolutionary to the way I play. It’s amazing that you are able to explain in simple language the “ins and outs”
that professional jazz pianists, none other than Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, and Art Tatum have used to achieve their high levels of musical proficiency. A former teacher of mine once said to me, “Less is more,” and I think your program
has helped me to finally understand the meaning of that statement. Your Course has freed and empowered me to express myself musically on a level I had never dreamed I could achieved. I only wish I could thank you in person. Thank
you so much. You truly have changed my life.

D. Payette
 
 
I'm the one who emailed you a few months ago telling you that I had fallen in love with my left hand, the hand that heretofore never did “doo-doo” and now plays these wonderful chords without even looking down at the piano, and it's counterpart, the right hand, is playing notes better than it ever could (despite 3 different attempts during its life of piano lessons.) I am so thankful I just happened to catch you on public TV and bought your instructional materials. If it weren’t for public TV, I wouldn't be having sooooooooooo much fun! I still can't believe I am playing like I do. I can't refrain from playing, I run to the piano every minute I can!
S. Sturm, CA
I have learned so much from you. I can actually play a few songs now! God bless! Thanks for opening the door to learning to play the piano.

C. Tipps, Huntsville, Alabama


 
I'm writing to THANK you. I've been a flute player since the age of 10, went to college on a music scholarship, but could never hack music theory or the piano barrier (so I got a PhD in psychology). Went to grad school at North Texas and have tried several times to teach myself bass clef and keyboard. YEAH, RIGHT. Anyway, NOW I GET IT!!! Why didn't any of my jazz ed friends at NT show me this years ago? When you explained that I wouldn’t need to read the bass clef, I threw my arms ups and went "WOO-HOO!" THANK YOU! Becky
I am entering my second year of playing the piano with your methods and enjoying every moment of it as a senior well into my seventies ... 


H. Litsky


 
Just wanted to say "Thank You!" I took piano and organ "lessons" when I was younger for about seven years. I lost interest because I really didn't ENJOY playing. A couple of months ago I purchased your materials, and now I’m finding that I am REALLY enjoying playing again. It's fun just trying different things!

L Banks


A million thanks—you introduced me to piano, and I haven't looked back. 4 years later, and I'm still going strong. I’ve gone from not knowing the keys or note names to playing full tilt boogie and blues. I still can't believe how lucky I was to see your KCET show, and then to buy your instructional materials.  I’ll be forever grateful.

K. Mahon, Redondo Beach Calif.


I started with your method about two years ago. My, I have come a long way!  I have over 20 songs in my repertoire now. It is such a joy to sit down and play something really well! My friends are very impressed. This has been a fabulous journey of discovery.I went from a $129 electronic keyboard to a beautiful Yamaha upright this March, with big, bold, warm tones! I'm lovin' it. Thank you so much for facilitating this breakthrough in my life. Simply put, were it not for having seen you on TV and buying your method, I would never have learned how to play the piano. You RULE!


S. Denlinger, Washington DC


Thanks a bunch Scott. I can play and read sheet music easily now. I never thought I would be able to play and read sheet music ever. Now I can be more helpful teaching the youth at church to become better singers and ministers.

P. Brewer, Greenville S.C.


I want to let you know that I have been playing piano for 50 years and your techniques and Courses are a real inspiration for me. Your enthusiasm is infectious, and I race to the piano to try your techniques. Thank you SO MUCH for bringing a new dimension to my playing, even after all these years. You are more than a fantastic musician—you are a marvelous teacher and an ambassador for the musical life.

Joanie

 
Thank you so much for your Course! I am amazed at the difference in my playing. I learned to “read” music as a child (am in my 50’s now) loved the piano but never really enjoyed it. I always was concentrating on notes, and so I was never able to play from my heart. Now I feel that I can start to express myself in music. It’s been truly liberating.

Donna
 

I'm a classically trained pianist who was tied to sheet music and have been trying desperately to learn to free myself. I happened to be channel surfing and saw your TV show today on improvising and playing the blues. It was fabulous! Within minutes I was able to take the "blues scales" and the three chords and play around freely on the piano. I took notes as you went through the steps with your guest on improvising. I'm so excited I'll probably be at my piano all night!! It's great! Thank you!!

Like a lot of people, I studied piano for about three or four years when I was a kid. I could read enough to struggle through the easier sheet music. My interest is primarily vocal, so I took up the guitar in college to accompany myself and played with a group or two with no formal lessons though only— playing only by ear.  After ordering your materials I can now play songs, and although I still need to expand technique, it's been the most fun I've had in ages.  I now own about six fake books and love to sit and play through them.  Please keep up the excellent work! 


K. Morse
 

Yes—I made it! Thank you again for helping me “overcome” 50 years of trying to play popular music based on techniques for playing classical music. This is like having years of training to fly a jet plane when all you have to learn is how to ride a bicycle. I have just purchased a new baby grand piano for my new home where I hope to enjoy playing and singing with my friends for years to come. You have given me the “correct” training for how to do that!


S. Welch


I saw you on TV and ran out and bought your book. I am a trained classical piano player and thought I would play nothing else. You changed that! My wife is also a very fine classical piano player (much better than myself.) She is amazed at what I have shown her. More than anything else in life, I've wanted to play piano without having to memorize the songs. So now I'm having a ball, and most of all, I'll have something to occupy myself when I go to the old age home. They all have pianos. As we age we must remember the "F" word, FUN!


A. Johnson


My major in university was music. That was a very long time ago. I've really gotten away from piano playing because I never learned to play just for fun. I was quite good at playing only classical music but I seem to have missed the fun part. I think your teaching definitely fills a HUGE gap in music instruction. 

R. Barclay, Vancouver, BC Canada


I can't believe it! For over 20 years, I've been "working" the piano—I can't say “playing” the piano. It has always been a struggle because I was never a good note reader. I have always envied those people who could just sit down and play through music effortlessly. Now, for the very first time, in just two hours I was able to sit down and play through a piece of music that I would never have even dreamed of being able to play before now. I can't thank you enough.



M. Shimandle


I’ve been playing piano my entire life.  I read music and have studied classical music, and I still get a lot out of your program.  I’ve never learned much about theory, so your information is very interesting to me and useful to my piano students.

It was fabulous! Within minutes I was able to take the "blues scales" and the three chords and play around freely on the piano. I took notes as you went through the steps with your guest on improvising. I'm so excited I'll probably be at my piano all night!! It's great! Thank you!!

Like a lot of people, I studied piano for about three or four years when I was a kid. I could read enough to struggle through the easier sheet music. My interest is primarily vocal, so I took up the guitar in college to accompany myself and played with a group or two with no formal lessons though only— playing only by ear.  After ordering your materials I can now play songs, and although I still need to expand technique, it's been the most fun I've had in ages.  I now own about six fake books and love to sit and play through them.  Please keep up the excellent work!

Yes—I made it! Thank you again for helping me “overcome” 50 years of trying to play popular music based on techniques for playing classical music. This is like having years of training to fly a jet plane when all you have to learn is how to ride a bicycle. I have just purchased a new baby grand piano for my new home where I hope to enjoy playing and singing with my friends for years to come. You have given me the “correct” training for how to do that!

I saw you on TV and ran out and bought your book. I am a trained classical piano player and thought I would play nothing else. You changed that! My wife is also a very fine classical piano player (much better than myself.) She is amazed at what I have shown her. More than anything else in life, I've wanted to play piano without having to memorize the songs. So now I'm having a ball, and most of all, I'll have something to occupy myself when I go to the old age home. They all have pianos. As we age we must remember the "F" word, FUN!

My major in university was music. That was a very long time ago. I've really gotten away from piano playing because I never learned to play just for fun. I was quite good at playing only classical music but I seem to have missed the fun part. I think your teaching definitely fills a HUGE gap in music instruction.

I can't believe it! For over 20 years, I've been "working" the piano—I can't say “playing” the piano. It has always been a struggle because I was never a good note reader. I have always envied those people who could just sit down and play through music effortlessly. Now, for the very first time, in just two hours I was able to sit down and play through a piece of music that I would never have even dreamed of being able to play before now. I can't thank you enough.

I’ve been playing piano my entire life.  I read music and have studied classical music, and I still get a lot out of your program.  I’ve never learned much about theory, so your information is very interesting to me and useful to my piano students.
