Note to Piano Teachers and Future Piano Teachers

Information about wholesale prices for piano teachers – see bottom paragraph!

Our DVD piano lessons break down and explain important concepts that will save piano teachers a tremendous amount of time and effort. The practical applications we demonstrate start from the very beginning of the program ensuring that a solid understanding of the rules of harmony are absorbed through strategically designed exercises. Some of the teachers that utilize this program have added a separate DVD room in addition to the regular lessons with the teacher. Many have also made the full program available to their students using the half price teacher discount below.

The Piano for Life program not only claims that all chords and harmonic patterns emanate from a few simple building blocks, these piano lessons demonstrate this principle conclusively in a matter of minutes. This core analysis of music itself lays the best possible foundation for not only students, but for the long term success of the piano teacher. When the foundation patterns are truly understood, everything encountered in the future makes sense and falls into place. This dramatically improves sight reading, memorization, improvisation, composition – essentially all of the critically important skills.

The benefit of enabling even brand-new beginners to play impressive emotionally satisfying music from the very start can not be overestimated. When students of any age are able to play with both hands using the entire range of the keyboard, they are encouraged, to say the least. When the underlying building blocks of all chord structures are understood it is also easy for beginners to play with steady pulsating rhythms, which is not only surprising, but addictive!

The essence of the Piano for Life approach is to add a very valuable tool to the equipment of all piano teachers. All of the traditional skills can and should be taught simultaneously along with this practical breakdown of the essence of harmony. The most effective teacher of all, Franz Liszt, taught all of his students how to think in relation to understanding music. Liszt produced more great performers than any other teacher in history with an impact that continues even today. He emphasized that all complex musical structures have simple parts. The method of practicing and the powerful performances of Vladimir Horowitz, Ivo Pogorelich and many others can only be understood in light of Franz Liszt’s insightful teaching.

Our work at Piano for Life, Inc. is to continue developing concrete step by step material based on insights from the best sources historically. We do not believe there is any law against clear explanations and immediate practical applications based on insightful analysis!
