"Your site, free lessons, interest and advice have helped us"
"I'm 63, totally un-musical, not too bright and muddle along in the throng. I have two young sons, one of whom (aged eight) has been taking weekly keyboard lessons from a local teacher for a couple of years. He is progressing steadily, although not amongst the ranks of the talented.
However, having got to grips with the basics, he takes great pleasure in finding, and learning to play simple new tunes.
He is also learning to play the saxophone with another local teacher. I try to quietly foster that interest by hunting out sheet music for tunes he mentions, on the net, and, in struggling to make them more easily readable/playable by lettering notes or marking finger and hand positions, have had to try to keep a step ahead of him where I can. I was, and am still, out of my depth.
I had come across your site of course and, offering free lessons, took up your offer. I also recently bought the Rocket Piano Course, for myself, on your advice. I cannot devote the time I would like to the Rocket lessons but fit some in when practical (busy subsistence farmer! Several aspects have been of great benefit, and although I still cannot string a tune together with style, I have a better understanding of my son's learning process and progress.
Your site, free lessons, interest, and advice have helped us both, directly and indirectly. Thank you."

"The info you have been sending is very exciting"
Graham
"The info you have been sending is very exciting but the problem I have is that the piano (actually a Weber pianola, built in 1921 but now fully restored - we have over 130 rolls too!) is in store pending our move, in a couple of months, to Croatia. So, for the moment, I feel somewhat frustrated!
No matter, you are accessible from anywhere so I will not lose touch - we don't have broadband in our village in Somerset, but we do at our remote property in nothern Croatia!"

"I really appreciate your willingness to assist me in learning to play the piano effectively"
Hi Graham:
"Your piano course is one of the best that I have ever had! The explanations are easy and straight forward However, there is one confession to make. I have not been practicing everyday due to work constraints. Luckily, I am at home today, so I can try to catch up
on some of the lessons.
At this moment, I really cannot tell you any problems I am presently having, nor any other thing that I would like to learn, because of my inconsistency in practicing. However, I will send you an email as soon
as the need arises.
I really appreciate your willingness to assist me in learning to play the piano effectively, and I thank you ever so much for the additional lessons that you are considering to send. Thanks again!"

"The basic lessons of part 1,2,5 are more relevant"
Thanks for sending me the free piano course. As I am the absolute beginner in playing any music instrument so I have found certain lesson is more appropriate than the others. For example part 3, 4 are too advance and abstract, they do not help me at all.
The basic lessons of part 1,2,5 are more relevant. If there is any means too include the pictures in the lesson then it will be even better.
We get into the piano thing because our kids start to take piano lesson and we would like to understand about the instrument too. Since we are living in France so over here the music notes are called as do re mi fa ....rather than C D E F ...hence extra confusion.
We have looked into some beginner piano books and find that for the SOL frame, the way to remember the notes written on the lines as E(at) G(ood)B(read) D(ear) F(ather) and the notes between the lines are F A C E (face)
By the way I try to spend ~10 min each day to practice
Best regards,
Minh

"Thanks for your valuable assistance. I think that I am off to a good start"
"Hi Graham,
I have just signed up with Ashley Southam's six part "Rocket Piano" course (thanks for the introduction). I have rather hit a wall at his lesson 3 but am determined to pick myself up to face the next one! I did find the "Jayde Musica" music theory game excellent and just what I wanted to become familiar with the notes on the staff.
All the best, Graham and thanks again for your valuable assistance. I think that I am off to a good start."
Regards, Mike |

"Every word you send is so precious"
"Graham, Thank you so much, every word you send is so precious, unfortunately I have been using a public piono and there is always so many people who want to learn.
Yesterday I visited a dealer in used pionos and cheapest was at an equivalent of 1600 dollars. which I could not afford. I have printed the notes you have sent tommorrow morning I want to be the first in the piono room and use an hour. I pray one day I get my own piono. Of recently I was at a party and the pionist entertained us with wonderful pieces that even now the my ear hear the string fading sweetly.
It sounds chords are easier to learn.
I thank God that I found you, and by the way. I just over saw some one on a computer next to me printing your note then I got the little word Uk on line piono lessons then I put it in the search engine and now I have you. It was by Divine providence.
Have a good time"
Daniel
