Want to Learn Piano as a Beginner? A Look at Pianoforall

Many beginner courses start with scales and sheet music. Pianoforall takes a different route: chords first, playing by ear, and reading music alongside. Here is what it includes and who it suits.

What it is

Pianoforall is an online piano course for beginners. The seller describes it as an all-in-one package of ebooks, video lessons and audio lessons, covering styles such as pop, blues, jazz, ballads and classical. It is delivered as an instant download.

How it teaches

Chord based: you learn chords and rhythm patterns early so you can play real songs sooner.
Play by ear, with music reading introduced at the same time.
Lessons you can follow at your own pace, with video and audio on the same page as the text.

Good fit if you

Are a complete beginner
Want to play songs you know, not only exercises
Prefer to learn on your own schedule

Think twice if you

Want a live teacher
Are preparing for formal classical exams
Do not have a keyboard or piano to practice on

Price

The seller lists the download version at $49 (one payment). Check the seller's page for the current price and refund terms before you buy.

Tip

You need a piano or a keyboard with weighted or full size keys and regular short practice sessions. Fifteen to twenty minutes a day beats one long weekly session.
