I can’t hear the audio clips.

If you can’t hear the audio clips, you may need to download a simple player to listen to them.  I recommend using the free quicktime player.

Downloading the free quicktime player from: http://www.apple.com/quicktime is the easiest download, for both PC users and Mac users.

How to Practice More Challenging Songs

When songs start becoming more challenging, I recommend the following:

First, make sure your practice sessions are at least 10 minutes.

Second, focus only on a small portion of a song during a practice session. For example, measures 1-4 of the right hand, measures 5-8 of the right hand, or the last 4 measures, or you can group them in any other way you would like to. Master each grouping with each hand separately , then master each grouping with hands together. Never play the song from top to bottom until this process is over. However, make sure your timing is connected between the groupings so you song does not sound like separate groups of 4 measures. You can group your groupings in any amount of measures as you like. For example, if measures 1-4 are too easy, add more, or if there is “spot” of two measures that are challenging, limit it to only those two measures.

Repeating small groupings of measures, hands separate will accelerate your progress! Repetition will be spent concentrated exactly where it needs to be spent. So think of “passing” each group before youstart connecting them.

How do I know you are going to send my product?

That is an interesting question, and I can understand this concern if you are from a different country, or you have never ordered online.  This question was more common about 10 years ago when the internet was new, and it was scary to send money to someone you never met.  However, today, ordering online is a common practice and the odds of running into someone who is being dishonest with their business is low.

The best way I can answer that question for me, is that I am a professional, and have been online since 1997, and will continue to be online for years to come. If you send money, and I don’t deliver your product, I would not only be hurting you, but I would be hurting myself, my business, and most of all, my integrity.

I give you my word, that if you send money I will send you the product that you pay for.
