Listen to what Christina has to say about Piano Foundations course!

 

"Really helping me sight read (basics) more efficiently!"

Hi James, I just wanted to say thank you for including me in your Adults Learning Piano for Beginners course.   I started the course tonight and it is really helping me sight read more efficiently.   I have been studying Alfred's Adult All-In-One Course since January 1, and am up to page 45.   
Your class and exercises are really helping me review and emphasize what I have learned, and I am also learning some very helpful tips in your course.  I am really enjoying the finger exercises and plan to use these exercises for practice with my sight reading. 
I depend way too much on writing the notes on the music sheet above the notes on the staff. Your exercises are helping me to learn the keys on sight and not depend on having the notes written out. I am finding this very challenging but I feel I am making good progress. -Barbra Stanley, Georgia USA

"You are a very good teacher." 

 I really had a great time today during the piano lesson! You are a very good teacher with LOTS of experience and very patient as well. Thanks for a nice lesson.  -David Olechewsky, Pennsylvania USA

Does this sound like you? 

You secretly wish you could sit down at the piano and play your favorite songs and pieces and learn how to read music once and for all! 
The site of your keyboard gathering dust breaks your heart...
Or you are retired and you're looking for a fun, new hobby...
Then it's the perfect time to "Play my favorite song on piano" off the bucket list..
 

What If There Was A Way To...

Finally play a song all the way through… and your partner actually recognizes it!
If you wanted to, you could even sing along. 
You aren’t afraid to play in front of other people anymore. Playing for your family, friends, or even leading your church through songs becomes a regular thing. 
Now you love to pick up your guitar. Practice isn’t a chore but something you look forward to every day. You notice your skills improving.
Wouldn’t it be exhilarating to achieve something you always wanted to do?
I can help you make that happen. 
But before I show you how, we have to address these...

5 False Beliefs Keeping You From Enjoying 

But the truth is...Learning Piano Is Much Easier Than You Think 

...when you follow the right process and know what and how to practice. 

I found that the best approach is the one that lets you have fun with your keyboard as fast as possible. That’s the basis for my system.  This involves learning the 3 fundamentals of playing the piano:

#1 Increase Proper Technique

 

#2 Finger Dexterity and Coordination

 

 #3 Increase Rhythm & Music Literacy

 

Yes I Want In 👉

Focusing on these essential elements as a beginner has produced the fastest results for my students.

You’ll be able to:

  • Read Music quicker and smoother, so your piano playing sounds more musical.
  • Move your fingers more nimbly, which makes playing easier and more effortless.
  • Improve your rhythm and dexterity so you can play along with the songs you love.
  • And finally play a song that actually sounds like a song!

Most importantly, working on these 3 fundamentals will give you the confidence that you CAN learn and you WILL improve. It’ll give you a quick sense of progress, so you stay motivated to continue practicing and playing for a long time.

 

  So who am I and why should I teach you piano?

Hi, I'm James Johnson!

You and I have a lot in common…

We’re both passionate about music.

We both always wanted to learn the piano (it’s such a fun instrument!)

And we both don’t have a formal music performance degree in piano and I am approaching my mid 50s! (mine was in Music Education and Percussion Performance, actually).

After 30+ years teaching music in the classroom and in teaching private studios.  I decided to continue with my piano practice and upload piano tutorials to grass roots YouTube channel.

 

While I may work at a school teaching music and arrange music at my very busy full time music job, I have taught thousands of students to play piano over the years... 

I still remember very well what it was like to struggle through every practice session, the trial and error of randomly jumping from parts of one song to the next. And the frustration of not knowing what lesson I should study next while feeling like I should be a lot further along. 

That’s why I teach the piano in a non-traditional style. I don’t start with boring music theory or terminology. No need for mumbo jumbo that you don’t understand or need. Instead, we do a bit of music reading Boot Camp as you will have the foundation to pick songs in pieces that you wanna learn years down the road!

Instead, I focus on the fundamentals-these are the skills you need to have fun with your keyboard as soon as possible...so you can start impressing your family and friends with your tunes! 

And my students seem to agree with my approach…

That's Why I Created Piano Foundations for Adult Beginners

 After a decade of studying what worked and what didn’t for my students, I developed a simple step-by-step curriculum that focuses on the absolute of piano. 

You’ll learn how to play the piano even if you’ve never touched an instrument before. This curriculum provides a solid foundation that you can build upon endlessly to level up your piano skills.
