On days that we’re feeling confrontational and wondering why there aren’t millions of teachers and piano students visiting our websites, we try to cause trouble. Well, at least we try to cause dissatisfaction. Why? Because we believe, along with one of the James boys (William, Henry or Jesse), that “every good thing results from a dissatisfaction.” If you really think about it, isn’t it true? Those that are satisfied don’t seem to be interested in fixing or correcting or improving anything. Remember the milk ad? “Our milk comes from contented cows”. A competitor responded: “Our cows are never contented. They’re always anxious to do better”.
That’s how we feel about the products and processes that are used to teach piano. We’ve often said, if anyone is going to make our products and processes obsolete, we want to be the ones to do it.
We hope to make some teachers and some parents of music students dissatisfied or at least “anxious to do better!”
So here are a few things that a traditional piano teacher might not know or want you to know.
That you can learn to improvise and play by ear while you’re learning to read music…
That you can start lessons as young as 4 years old…
That in the first few weeks you can play big-sounding pieces that are two or three years earlier than expected…
That you can learn useful chords and improvisational theory in a few lessons – 52 relevant chords in a very short period of time . . .
That a 1/2 hour private, living room lesson might not be the most effective or efficient…
