Play Piano In All Keys Fingering Charts are the secret to success

All my students learn to play piano with a regular method book and immediately, at the same time, in lesson "1", start with my Play Piano In All Keys Complete Workbook fingering charts book.

Students start one octave, two octaves, then four octaves all while learning to play early beginner pieces. This way, we make use of the golden time working the fingers and teaching the ear. This time is golden, because the students cannot yet play repertoire which without doubt is more fun than practicing scales, chords/cadences and arpeggios.  But in defense of practicing scales - when older students have been busy with home work and could not practice, they enjoy to relax the mind and just run their fingers (with the metronome) and we still accomplish lots.

As soon as students can play scales, chords and arpeggios, we can program pieces that include those elements and onward.

Stay tuned, more exciting student performances coming.

So far every student who started playing piano with me could benefit from practicing scale, chords and arpeggios skills using this book.

Let's go over the seven most common practice errors and the secrets to unlock flawless and effortless practice progress:

As a piano teacher or student are we not hearing these daily?

1. I just want to learn to play a piece – I do not have time for boring scales or theory

2. Metronome practice? You must be kidding!

3. The most important thing is to get the notes right

4. If you practice and make a mistake, just keep trying, eventually you will get it

5. Only people who cannot play piano need to write in finger numbers

6. Never mind practicing technique or learning theory, just practice a piece until you get it.

7. If I play a piece often enough I will be able to play it from memory.
