It should only take two days to learn to play piano "like a master". Gee whizz. How cool is that?You can find out how for just $50, here: http://www.pianobypattern.com/

Yes I know - very silly. Is anyone taken in by this nonsense?

Anyone can play piano - just plonk your fingers on the keys. I could play every note on the piano is much less than 24 hours.



Playing music on the piano is a different matter.

At my sprogs' (secondary) school, they had about three class music lessons involving pressing about four keys on electronic keyboards. Then they changed to drums because, "you've now learnt to play keyboard". Erm...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

I like the bit in the blurb where he says 'ask any piano teacher - it normally takes a year to learn to play the piano, - then just in case we didn't know - thats 12 months, or 365 days (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

So I've been playing for more than a year, well 30 years - does this mean I know everything?

Reminds me of a nurse I encountered at our doctors' surgery. She was miffed that I didn't let her inject one of my children. So when, in conversation, I said I was a piano teacher, she sniffed and said her daughter didn't need a teacher. She was learning it all from a book.

if you are thinking of getting into this, be aware that it's designed for a keyboard that has black notes in groups of five.

If you don't believe me click on the link ...

Now I know why my playing doesn't sound right, there are obviously lots of black notes missing from my piano! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
