Whether you're a Piano Lesson Drop Out, as
Our JUST FOR FUN PIANO Workshops and Support Products such as music books and DVDs are created especially for the New and "Recovering" Piano Players looking for a fun and motivating approach to learning piano. The "Chord Approach" is the system used by most self-taught and professional musicians. The emphasis is on creativity and enjoyment rather than the tedious and boring note reading so often stressed in piano lessons. As any professional musician will tell you, "know your chords, and you can do anything!" We teach music as a language. Can you imagine trying to read and write before you learned to speak? It would be a nightmare - unfortunately music has been taught that way for centuries and is contrary to the way most of the great classical composers and musicians taught Piano. Teachers such as the great Franz Liszt emphasized the study of "Harmony" (chords) to students long before he would introduce note reading. This gave students a way to understand musical relationships of chords and scales early on, as a foundationtion for not only improvising but being able look inside a piece of music and understand it's architecture completely. Our philosophy is to keep Piano Education as simple and enjoyable as possible by emphasizing The Chord Approach (Harmonic Theory), Creativity, and to develop total musicianship through a holistic understanding of music in general. ---------- Inspire Others: Turning Tragedy into Triumph! ---------- RECENT TELEVISION INTERVIEW WITH DONN ROCHLIN Speaking on his new Book FEARLESS PUBLIC SPEAKING & his JUST FOR FUN PIANO WORKSHOPS Jody Seay interviews Donn Rochlin, "author of "Fearless Public Speaking" (28:56) Video provided by: Oregon WIN Fearless Public Speaking

If you've always wanted to learn to play the piano, or play now but lack spontaneity and creativity...

“I have been looking for direction like this for years. I always wondered why popular sheet music had such simplified arrangements, but I never knew how to “fancy it up.” After 8 years of classical lessons, I never learned what to do with the scales and chords I learned. I’m convinced that this course is the beginning of a new musical hobby that will surpass anything I was able to play before.” Genevieve Rothkopf, age 39. Landscape Artist “All of the theory I learned as a student of classical piano became understandable and applicable after this 3-hour workshop.” Susan Stengel, age 38. |
