Dear Aspiring Musician: Do you think the above headline sounds a
little farfetched? Not at all. It's very achievable.
In fact, people still react with amazement when I tell them I first
started teaching myself to play piano well after finishing high
school. ("Isn't that a little late to get started?"). Truthfully I
never thought about it. I wanted to learn and I just started. And,
within roughly a six month period, I was playing gigs with local
bands. I wasn't great but the band members (more importantly),
audiences, thought my skills were enough. I got the job done. And
knowing music by way of the piano allowed me to pick up other
instruments along the way with relative ease. If I'd waited until
everything was "perfect", I would probably still be playing alone in
my room! Know what I mean? The piano (music in general) is not
difficult to learn. Anything new is challenging until you start doing
it more often. The key is to know what to systematically work on in
order to overcome those challenges and improve your skills as you move
forward. I'll share in depth with you how I did it.
*Are you a beginner with a desire to express the gift
you've been given?
*Does the praise team at your church need more available and capable
piano/keyboard players?
*Are you a vocalist wanting to develop these skills as well as have
the option of accompanying yourself when your regular accompanists are
not available?
*Do you want to compose music, write your own songs, and live
the life of the studio artist?
*Do you already play an instrument like the saxophone, trumpet,
guitar, bass, drums, or some other instrument and want to improve
your knowledge of music, or learn piano as a second instrument (IMHO:
every musician should know basic piano)?
*Do you own a piano, yet the timing was never right to begin, for
whatever reason, and now it is?
*Are you a former student of traditional methods?
I've taught many students over the years (including highly skilled
classical pianists) using my approach. Many of them were referred to
