Introduction

Have you always wanted to learn to play the piano? Have you been hesitant about doing so because of the thought of having to spend endless hours practicing? Maybe you took some lessons but gave up because it was too hard.

What if there was a much easier way? What if I were to tell you that you could learn all the basics in seven simple lessons and that you could learn to play a proper tune in less than a day?

Does that sound a little too good to be true? Here are a couple more facts for you – playing the piano is not that complicated. It’s just that the way that we are traditionally taught to play is a lot more complicated than it needs to be. Normally, you have to start by learning one note at a time, and have to learn all the theory before you get to actually start practicing what you have learned. 

There is a lot of work to do before you even get close to seeing real results and that can be very disheartening.

What we do in this book is to break it down for you into simple but essential steps. You will learn the basics of music theory quickly and easily and will be able to play your first tune within hours. This will give you the motivation to carry on and keep practicing.

Will this book turn you into a maestro? No, but then it is not designed to do that. It will, however, get you started and teach you the foundations that you can build on.

You’ll get to show your friends and family just how smart you are by being able to play your favorite songs – and save yourself a bundle in sheet music too.

If you are looking for an excellent introduction to playing the piano, this is the book for you. If you decide to carry on learning from there, this gives you a solid base to do that as well.
