Robin Hall, the mind behind Piano for All is AN Irish music teacher and creator. curiously enough, tho' we have a tendency to couldn’t realize all that a lot of regarding his musical background and qualifications, we have a tendency to observed a trifle regarding his career as AN creator. Robin Hall is truly a good drawer WHO has managed to publish multiple well-received books on drawing cartoons. Piano for All customers can even get to ascertain a number of his original design as a number of it makes it into the course (more thereon later).

Features

Course Contents: The Piano for All course package contains ten completely different eBooks. connected to those eBooks area unit two hundred video and five hundred audio demonstrations, examples, and exercises. once downloading the course, you’ll discover the course size is sort of 0.5 a computer memory unit at 431mb. Note: folks on slower net connections do have the power to transfer the course one eBook at a time. So yeah, if you weren’t positive, this can be really a fairly massive course.

After basic orientation to the piano, the course begins by teaching the way to play basic chords to a range of rhythms to form in style songs. Gradually, the rhythms become additional complicated and therefore the chords become additional refined. The eBooks area unit designed to be followed so as and introduce genre-specific piano chords and rhythms as you progress through the course. Robin conjointly helps quicken your progress by introducing varied acquisition techniques and shortcuts on the means. As mentioned, the teachings do use some in style songs within the lessons, however as a result of licensing fees and legal problems usually aren’t enclosed in their totality. in contrast to most ancient lessons, Piano for All waits till you've got an honest grasp on ear-playing before showing the way to sight-read.

Whereas the primary nine eBooks do the particular teaching of the course eBook #10 may be a piano resource facility with a load of tips, tricks and useful info. You’ll realize info on the way to setup and connect a MIDI keyboard to your computer, book reviews, additionally as lists of songs that create use of the various rhythms tutored earlier within the course. conjointly enclosed with Piano for All may be a bonus eBook titled, Increase your inventive Ability by four-hundredth. initially look this Bonus eBook appears slightly out of place however essentially it shows you the way you'll be able to increase your creativeness by reducing the strain and alternative negative emotions in your life.

Where Piano for All’s piano lessons extremely shine is in their ease-of-use and interactivity. Whenever the eBook says you wish to ascertain or hear AN external transmission file (sound or video), all you've got to try and do is click on slightly icon embedded among the particular lesson page and therefore the relevant file can begin enjoying. I can’t tell you the way a lot of easier (and quicker) this can be than having to dig through an entire bunch of files and folders on your pc to find the precise file. alternative transmission piano courses like the favored Rocket Piano course would have extremely benefited from having a feature like this in their code.

Practice Tip: If you've got the selection between active beside Piano for All with AN upright or keyboard you ought to most likely use the keyboard. the rationale being is that you just will found out your keyboard right ahead of the pc screen and play beside the exercises rather than printing out the teachings and missing out on the transmission aspects of the course.

Piano for All isn't while not its shortcomings but, and we’ll mention a number of them here. Video/technical quality of the Piano for All is alright, ok even, however extremely Robin may have created this course of study soooo a lot of better… The videos area unit low-resolution, somewhat coarse-grained and therefore the camera is usually positioned therefore the video is at a small angle additionally as being off-centered. It’s arduous to not notice this stuff and it will create it slightly bit displeasing to look at (for symmetry freaks like Maine anyway…). within the video’s audio we have a tendency to conjointly detected a coffee hum that persisted throughout all the films. the very fact that Robin’s voice isn’t all that distinct or clear didn’t facilitate matters a lot of. Going back to AN earlier purpose, it's price noting that as a result of there's over seven hours price of video lessons and examples within the course, the video files had to be recorded at a somewhat lower resolution so as to stay the entire course size beneath 500mb.

We found the eBooks and course material itself to be sensible, however not excellent. there is the occassional erratum, a minimum of one dead link to a video file, and references to many technically incorrect musical terms. clearly none of this can be extremely deal-breaker material, however just a few things we have a tendency to detected once trying over the teachings.

Ordering info

At the time of this writing, the complete Piano for All package will bought for $39.95. (reg. $79.50) you'll be able to purchase the eBooks on an individual basis however it is a rather ridiculous plan since most of the books area unit priced at $29.95 a pop. There really area unit alternative payment choices and package deals accessible from the ordering page, however all of them even create less sense since you mostly find yourself paying lots additional for identical package. you'll be able to add on a CD containing the eBooks and files to your order, however this can be somewhat redundant since you'll forever backup the course onto a CD later once you’ve downloaded it.

That’s the sort of guarantee we have a tendency to prefer to see incidental to digital transfer product.

Conclusion

There’s lots to love with Piano for All. The teaching ways area unit progressive, partaking and create the training method additional fun for college students. It’s conjointly extraordinarily cheap as compared to most piano courses out there. sadly we have a tendency to presently cannot provides it a full endorsement as a result of technical quality problems, mediocre video quality, lack of visual learning aids like light-up keys that you just realize in alternative piano courses, and presumably an excessive amount of stress on sounding sensible and not enough on learning the idea behind however the music all works along. Still, once it involves budget-friendly downloadable piano courses, it's arduous to beat the worth that Piano for All provides.
