Health Benefits

There is strong scientific evidence that learning something new like playing piano can help fend off Alzheimers, the most common form of dementia. For strokes and other kinds of brain injuries, music is key to getting people to start talking, and to get them out of a catatonic state. Music supports cognitive brain function.



Testimonials

"Alan has a unique approach to keyboard and piano that I have been seeking for many years. His method is almost impossible to find. Almost all teachers will sit you in front of the piano to work on sight-reading with no regard to the basics of chords, music construction, or arrangement. After many years of that type of dead-end instruction, you will most likely end up a sight-reader of moderate ability with no knowledge of how to really play keyboard without sheet music in front of you. You will be stuck playing mostly classical music or other people's arrangements and musical ideas with little preparation to play in a band or arrange and compose your own music. Many people quit the piano as a result of this boring, stale and outdated approach to instruction. I tried that approach for six years and quit as a result.”

“Alan's approach is just the opposite. Alan will teach you all of the major, minor, seventh and diminished chords in all of their inversions and quickly have you playing many of your favorite tunes. His emphasis is to get you playing real songs real fast. He has a series of drills to get the chords under your fingers and quickly enable you to understand the actual construction of music. Later you get into sight-reading and jazz chords to round-out your education. I have found no better keyboard/piano education to enable busy adults to quickly play some of their favorite songs and really understand and apply chords as the foundation of music. It is also essential information for those students seeking to accompany singers, play in a band or become professional musicians."

"Alan's fast track piano lessons are a great way to learn how to start playing songs and playing along with music, even if you have never had a lesson before. His approach helps you understand and break down piano chords so that you can build on them and improvise. His jovial personality makes the lessons lighthearted and his encouragement makes them fun. Highly recommended."

-Dr. Sally B.

"I always thought it would be really neat to learn to play piano, but I never gave it serious consideration because it seemed to require more time than I had, and the stuffiness of traditional piano lessons just doesn't do it for me. I am more of a dueling piano bar / belt-it-out-to-the-radio kind of girl. I saw Alan's fast track piano lesson advertisement and was immediately intrigued. I am having a blast learning to play piano with Alan. One of the major reasons it's so fun is the massive song library Alan has tabbed out with chords (similar to a guitar but for piano). It's been so motivating to learn to play familiar songs that I actually enjoy listening to. And Alan is a super fun dude who really makes learning and playing a piano a joy."

-Colie R.

"Alan's fast track teaching style is nothing short of amazing! I never dreamed I would be able to play the piano as good as I can after only a few months. With no experience at all, he had me playing actual songs by the second lesson. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to not only learn to play, but also have fun doing it!"

-Alan P.

"Alan's method is truly fast track. My "someday I will learn piano" was realized in one day, as I was playing a legitimate rock and roll song, the whole song, after the first lesson. I then went on from there, where I can play some pretty advanced stuff now after a few months. His knowledge of rock and roll songs and how to play them is vast but he will work with you on the songs of your choice."

-Roy B.

"Alan's method of teaching is not only interesting and unique but easy to understand. He very much strives to make it fun with enthusiasm and is always encouraging. Alan cares about what you as the student wants to accomplish. He is very patient and goes above and beyond. He loves to play and teach and it shows. My lessons always extend well beyond the time frame and he is never in a hurry. I would highly recommend giving him a call if you want to learn how to play the piano. He will have you playing numerous chords and actual songs within the first month."

-Donna K.

"If you're looking for a fast way of learning to play piano, look no further than Alan. I never thought I could pick up playing an instrument so fast, but within the first lesson, I was already playing along with songs I heard on the radio! Alan's teaching method helps you build on fundamentals while keeping it fun and entertaining. I always look forward to his lessons and love how passionate he is in helping you learn and progress."
