Tap C, then Am, F and G. Those four chords sit under a huge pile of pop songs, and they are where chord-first courses like Pianoforall start.
Sound on. On a real keyboard, use thumb, middle and little finger of your right hand for each chord.
Pianoforall is an online piano and keyboard course by Robin Hall, sold through ClickBank since 2006. It teaches chords and rhythm first, so you play recognisable music early, and brings in reading music and theory alongside it.
The lessons are ebooks with the videos and audio built in, plus an online course player. You work through them at your own pace on a computer, tablet or phone next to your keyboard.
It is ebook-based. The videos live inside the books and the course player. If you want a slick app with games, look elsewhere.
The early lessons are deliberately simple. Chords like the ones above, played in rhythm. Experienced players may find the first book slow.
Check the price on the checkout page. The official page lists US$49; there are optional add-ons. ClickBank handles the payment and the refund request.
Give it two weeks before judging. Ten minutes a day is the pace the course is built for. You have 60 days to ask for a refund if it isn't working.
No. The course starts with chords and rhythm, and adds reading music as you go.
Yes. A 61-key keyboard with touch-sensitive keys is enough for the early books. A full 88-key piano helps later on, especially for classical pieces.
The official page shows a one-time price of US$49 or a 7-day trial. Read the checkout page before paying so you know exactly what you are agreeing to.
An independent affiliate, not Robin Hall or the Pianoforall team. The keyboard above is my own little tool, and it doesn't come from the course.
The first Pianoforall book turns them into rhythm patterns you can use on real songs.
