I have seen many videos of piano prodigies, but none compares to this amazing girl who was born with only two fingers on each hand. This is a 10 minute video of her story. It is worth watching..

For a new piano, I recommend shopping around and playing on the pianos that appeal to you. Each piano will feel different. You might like the feel of one, and not the other. Buying a piano is a huge decision, so be selective.
I would avoid finding a used one (from an individual) unless you have a professional piano tuner look at it before you purchase.
For a keyboard, I recommend at least 61 keys with touch sensitivity. My preferred brand is Yamaha. Keyboards are easy and inexpensive to purchase and are more than sufficient to learn piano on.

The course is divided into 12 sections, containing over 300 pages of instruction on how to read sheet music. This course teaches you how to sit down at a piano, look at any advanced intermediate level sheet music and be able to play by reading the notes! ~smile~ This is an incredible skill to learn because it allows you to play anything you want! I like to compare it to reading a book. If you know the alphabet, and have learned how to read, then you can read any book at your particular reading level! No need to memorize the book first.. just open it and read it!
In reading music, you will learn the music alphabet, and step by step, you will learn how to interpret what is on the sheet music on the piano through your fingers.. instantaneously… just like reading!
How long will it take?
It takes an average learner (total beginner), about 1 year to complete the entire course, as long as they are practicing every day. I have seen it take as little as 6 months and as much as 2 years depending on the individual.
A good way to describe what you will be able to do as a pianist after completing this course is that you will be able to play at a level of about 90 percent of pianists play at.
For example, you can be a church pianist, play for birthday or event parties, play for choir,
accompany a vocalist, fun entertainment, and of course, for pleasure. You can even become a
piano teacher at this level! ~smile~ These are the things that most pianists can do.
If you want to pursue something beyond that, such as becoming
a paid performer, play professionally or become a classical pianist, you will need additional
training. At these advanced levels, I recommend training with a live teacher due to the difficulty
of technique, rhythm and execution of very advanced music.
To see what level of difficulty you will be able to play at in my course, you can
download the following song:
Download Song Example – Canon in C
Some songs are harder than this one, but this is a very good representation of
a variety of notes and rhythm at an advanced intermediate level.
