Hello Ron:
I really
enjoy your method of
teaching and yes, I have
researched the other
"online piano
lessons", but don't
find their content to be even
close to yours.
As a former pro
drummer, I appreciated your
attention to detail, and
not "pulling punches"
regarding the assimilation of
the rudiments to learn to
play piano.
Thanks.

How to Learn Piano to Get
Results...
When the
practicing "blahs" strike, you
just need an attitude adjustment.
You DON'T
have to sweat blood to practice
well. You DON'T even have to think
of it as work, or duty, or even something
that you ought to do.
STOP a
minute and think about it.
You like
music, and you want to play some special
song that really means something to
you.
You want it
to SOUND through YOU - right through your
finger tips.
Okay?
Well, you
practice it to fulfill that
desire, not to FRUSTRATE it.
Pause here
and ASK YOURSELF some questions:
What if you could look at a piece of
music for the first time, and play it
correctly straight off, just as fine as
you please?
How would you feel
about practicing then?
OR...
What if you were practicing for the
Olympic swim meet next year, and felt
deep down that you had a
chance?
How would you feel
then about the training?
Would you PLUNGE into
it each morning?
What if you were interrupted at a
good point in yesterday's
practicing?
What if you had just about broken
through a tough spot when you had to
stop?
Would you want to get
back to it today as soon as
possible?
YOU answer those
questions, HONESTLY, for yourself.
There are ways to say
"YES!"

Finally... You
Will Learn How to Play Piano
FIRST, you've got to
STOP blaming
yourself.
You don't have to be
PERFECT every time. You
DON'T have to be the BEST player,
today.
AND, you don't have to
LISTEN to what other PEOPLE say about
your playing - PEOPLE who are only
half listening, and don't care the
way YOU do.
Put all
that out of your mind.
What matters is YOUR
desire to play piano as well as
possible.
Nadia Boulanger, one of the greatest
teachers, put it
best: "Don't
speak to me of talent; speak to me of
desire."
Here's How to Start Learning to
Play Piano Tonight...
Just START with playing - one
note after another, and
keep going.
As the Japanese say, "A
journey of a thousand miles begins with
the first, step." AND, if the
very first step leads to the first slip,
be glad for it.
YOU CAN'T, repeat, CANNOT
LEARN without MISTAKES!
Now... start to THINK
more personally about your
instrument.
The piano/keyboard, like the
guitar, is a "TOUCHY" instrument.
Tough it, and you both produce
and color its tones, like a potter
molding clay. Think of the keys,
all glemaing white, as the "SKIN" of the
piano; you can either please them or HURT
them.
STROKE them, and the sound will
come out mellow and purring.
POKE them, and the sound will
either "bark" sharply or woodenly
"thud."
STOP thinking of yourself as
playing "ON" or "AT" the piano.
Rather, think of the instrument as an
extension of your own body.
When an artificial leg is fitted
to an amputee, he/she is then taught to
walk with it. Gradually, it feels
more natural - more like his/her own leg
walking.
The French call the keys "les
touches," or "touch-points" -
as if the keys, not you, were doing the
feeling.
EVERY musician wants to
personalize this instrument.
Take a look at the
vocalist who hugs his/her guitar,
or without a guitar, "woos"
his/her microphone, or, without a
microphone, simply "woos" the
audience?
EVERY musician seeks to
make his/her instrument an extension of
their own body, the tool he or she needs
to put across the strong feelings he/she
has for the music.

Hello Mr. Worthy,
I
am really excited about these
lessons...
I
can see things already
that I've always wanted to
understand and your
explanations are so
clear. I can tell
that this is going to be
fun for me and
spiritually
awakening.
I
want to express how I feel
about the earth, mankind and my
heavenly father through
music.
I'm so glad that you
developed this site, and that
you understand how
those of us who wish to
play, like you play, feel
about the beauty inherent in
music, especially playing
the piano.
Thanks and God Bless
You.

Lemme break it
down
for you really
simple here
Step
1: If you are a
beginner, I'm going to teach you how to
play correctly, "right out the
gate!" I don't want you to "mix and
match" as other students have.
Step
2: If you are an
intermediate to advanced player, I'm
going to fix your playing.
Step
3: Get clear on
technique-specific practice models.
Stop mixing and matching.
Step
4: Stop mixing practice
models and confusing everything.
I'm going to teach you how to play ANY
STYLE of music you wish to play!
This is what
I'm talking about...
Go to the
piano or keyboard not to reproduce a
piece, but to experiment with your best
way to bring out what is there.
There is no
one RIGHT WAY to play a piece - no matter
how loudly some people protest that there
is.
Artists in
fact, vary greatly, and audiences return
again and again to hear the same piece,
as played by pianist X or pianist
Y. You simply cannot play a
piece twice the same way. TRY
IT!
Here's how to
practice an exercise or a
song:
Sit
quietly, upright and relaxed... hear the
music in your head - hear it better than
life.
SENSE its
movement and PULSE rolling through you,
turning and adjusting your own pulse, you
are the prime "instrument" of this music
- sitting there alert, tuned by silence,
VIBRATING to it's rhythm, lending it your
own life entirely.
As you feel
the music filling you, hear and soul, you
will know that it is getting ready to be
born.
When it has
STIRRED you, LIFT your hands to the
keyboard. This is the reason you
wanted to play in the first place: to
bring alive what has already moved
you.
And,
suddenly, by CENTERING your focus, you've
turned practicing from a duty into an
ATTRACTION!
Here's how this would
work.
Take a short part of
the piece; you might choose a 4 or
8 measure phrase.
Practice it slowly. When you
feel comfortable with the music,
INCREASE THE TEMPO.
Don't wait
until you've practiced the entire work
slowly. This way, at each sitting
you'll get to learn a little section,
bring it up to tempo, and "feel" into
what is needed to bring it to
life.
I have SO much to
teach you.
