“Nature’s Delight” - A Piano Dedication to Michael Jackson

Michael Joseph Jackson was the first musical voice I ever heard who made me stop and want to learn more about music. Of course I can remember lots of great tunes floating around when I was a kid. But nothing really sparked my desire in music until I heard - I Want You Back - on the radio one day.

When Michael passed away on June 25 2009... at first I thought it was a lie. It soon dawned on me that there are FAR too many musicians/singers and dancers in this world today as a direct result of Michael Jackson for him NOT to exist anymore! His influence has literally traveled the ends of this earth and inspired so much new music and choreography!

We have lost something irreplaceable... and I dont think in a thousand years we will have another Michael Jackson.

So I hope you’ll take a moment and watch this special piano tribute I prepared in dedication to Michael Jackson. The music is an original piece I wrote... and frankly... it almost literally POURED out of me one day as I was sitting at my piano: (scroll down to the bottom to watch the video)

NEW VIDEO – A Glimpse into Piano Lesson 11!

Okay Okay... I know. You have been waiting patiently for some new lessons. Christmas has come and gone... and still no DVD no Piano Exam yet and no new piano exercises. Yes I have heard you and you are right... you have waited long enough. So today I have got something special prepared... a full 45 minutes worth! While my piano DVD is still in production I have recorded this extended length video lesson that will show you the upcoming stages in my piano curriculum. Now keep in mind... I recorded this in a hurry. I did not add any special effects or text animations like I normally do. This lesson is very intensive but raw. But do not worry... it is only temporary. Eventually when I do release Get Piano Lesson 11 it will be top notch and complete... so I hope you enjoy this for now. To watch this entire video lesson (for free as always) simply go to this link AND *SCROLL DOWN* TO THE BOTTOM: http://www.get-piano-lessons.com/free-beginner-piano-lessons.html

NEW VIDEO! Get Piano Lesson 9: Separate Note Patterns in BOTH hands

Yes its been awhile but the video for Get Piano Lesson 9 is finally LIVE and ready to get your hands moving around on the keyboard like we have never played before! There are GREAT things going on behind the scenes at GetPianoLessons.com and this is definitely one of them! In this detailed video lesson we really crank up our playing level and begin to play separate note sequences in each hand while playing at a much busier work rate. In fact we’ll play one note in each hand for EVERY beat we count! This is a professional FIRST for us and it means that we wont have the option of resting a less busy hand while concentrating most of our attention on a main melody line anymore. This time BOTH hands are just as busy and constantly playing different notes in each hand for each beat in our piano exercises! So get ready to challenge your coordination skills here because the time for easy piano lessons is all over!

NEW VIDEO! Get Piano Lesson 8: Beginner LEAD Left Hand

Happy Fourth of July and welcome to Get Piano Lesson 8! Here we will begin to ask our left hand questions its never had to answer before... how to play the DOMINANT role in a two-handed piano piece? As we all know piano music is largely performed with a major emphasis on the notes played with the right hand. But there are times when our left hand needs to step up a little and support the right hand with a more prominent rhythm section... like NOW! So... right handed beginners... prepare to step out of your comfort zone for the next 10 to 20 minutes and lets get to work!! To watch this entire video lesson (for free as always) simply go to: http://www.get-piano-lessons.com/how-to-learn-piano.html

The Secret to Playing the Piano with Both Hands!

Welcome to the BRAND NEW online video for Get Piano Lesson 7! This is where we really begin to have fun on the piano! And yes I know it has been awhile since my last video release on Get Piano Lessons.com. So to make up for the long delay... I have compiled twice the amount of great information in this one video! So lesson 7 is actually a DOUBLE video lesson with a total running time of just under 40 minutes! And we cover a lot of awesome new material! First I spend well over 15 minutes demonstrating the art of two-handed piano playing with three different piano pieces before encouraging you to join me on your piano keyboard at home as we play our first two piano assignments using both hands! We slowly begin practicing two separate lines of notes with either hand and then use a computerized metronome to help guide us along the complex process of combing both hands down on the keyboard simultaneously. You have probably never seen such a complete and comprehensive description of how to start playing the piano with both hands before and you can only see the entire full-length video here at: http://www.get-piano-lessons.com/lesson-piano.html

New Piano Video: Return of the Finger Tongue Twister!

It’s back! Just when you thought these piano exercises were going to be easy. Here comes that same tricky maze of scattered numbers once again. And they must be played on our keyboard with proper speed and accuracy using our left hand! There is no room for sloppiness here. In order for us to graduate to the next phase in our piano education, we must conquer this obstacle first. We have already faced this monster once before during our right hand lessons. And if you are right-handed, you probably had the edge. But now we must use our left hand (and possibly your weaker hand) to slay this dragon. There is no way around it. Prepare to face off against The Finger Tongue Twister once again and prove your left hand piano skills!

NEW Holiday Music in Video Lesson 5

For this holiday edition to my video series I have written some new music. This music is partially comprised of finger patterns we have practiced over the past two lessons and demonstrates how our 5-note finger patterns can be parlayed into beautiful songs in the form of melodies. Also keep in mind that I will be teaching you how to play this song at around my 16th lesson. But in this piano lesson we will begin practicing 15-note finger charts both forward and backwards! If you perform these exercises properly without peeking at your fingers you will get a terrific lesson in hand-eye coordination that will sharpen your sight-reading skills and ultimately help you increase your playing ability on the keyboard.
