Review Piano Online Books

There are number of ways to learn to play piano. You can hire a personal teacher, or go to music schools, or buy piano study books and DVDs/Videos. Whatever your preference is, there is plenty of opportunities for you to learn the piano. Here I would like to discuss and review online piano books that I came across while learning to play.

1. Rocket Piano review
As with any other new skill the best way to learn is from a live instructor. That’s why I prefer online books that are accompanied with video and audio materials. This is like taking lessons with top instructor. Online piano book Rocket Piano was developed by a top piano expert Ruth Searle. She is classically trained to Grade 8 in Solo Piano and has more than 15 years experience playing. So what will you get with this course? The following is in this course
1) 218 lessons in 3 printable E-books
2) 57 video lessons
3) 133 audio lessons
3) Rocket Jazz Piano Book
3) Rocket Piano Gospel, Spiritual and Hymns Book
4) New Rocket Piano Quizzes
5) The Chordinator teaches you to read chords in interactive game format.
6) Jayde Musica Pro is another software game that is cleverly designed to develop your ability to quickly identify the pitch of a note with its musical symbol and its letter name.


2. Piano by Pattern review
This course was developed by Scott Jordan. He also has 15 years of experience. However in his own words “it wasn't until about 5 years ago that I actually was good enough to turn some heads! (The other 10 years were wasted on piano lessons, trial and error, and just plain frustration).” The most interesting thing about this online piano course is that it teaches you to learn playing by ear. In my opinion this is a very important skill for any musician. Here is what included with this online piano book.
1) Video download course that show you how to pick and play any song.
2) The course that teaches you to "play by ear"
3) The "advanced" patterns that that makes your learning experience much more rewarding.
4) Video “Secrets to Explosive Songwriting” that teaches how to write songs using the patterns taught in this course.
5) The book titled “Read Music Now” teaches you the simple way to read the sheet music.

There is more detailed review of piano online books. I believe I found the best ones while was learning to play piano. The techniques in the courses are straightforward. Even if you think you are not talented they will help you to master playing piano. The most interesting part of these courses I found that they require minimum amount of practice time.
