Being an adult beginner at the piano can be frustrating if can’t find the right materials to teach you the information you really want to learn. I know you don’t want to learn to play “Mary Had a Little Lamb” or you think that classical piano is not really what your looking for.

A Better Way
What you want to be able to do is play great songs without too much effort. Songs like “Somewhere over the Rainbow” or “What a Wonderful World”. You just want to be able to play your favorite songs and have then sound great. The trick is to not learn to read every note, but to learn to play chords. You might have heard of a “fake book”. A fake book has only the melody and the chords, and you “fake” your own arrangement. This is infinitely easier and more fun than trying to learn to play every written note precisely, and if you know what you’re doing, it will sound a lot better too!

Are you frustrated that when you play the piano, you seem to hit “bad notes” or your chords sound amateur-ish? Do you feel like you don’t how the proper steps to learning to play piano chords so they sound great, every time?

Maybe you bought Scott Houston’s book but you want something that goes into more depth. You’ve had some piano lessons but you want break away from reading exactly what’s on the page.

So if you are this type of a person, a person who knows that quality piano instruction methods for adults are hard to come by, that most piano teachers based their programs on the needs of five years olds, but you know what’s possible . . .

Maybe you’ve seen piano players at piano bars, who can play by ear, or you’ve seen a friend improvise from a fake book. What do they know that you don’t?

See, the problem has been, that up to now, most piano books are written for those who read piano music.

"But if you know how to read music, you don't need a book on how to play piano, right?"

The irony is, the best chord-piano players don’t even read music – or write music books. A few years ago, I visited a piano bar in New York City and was amazed at a player whose fingers moved up and down the piano like so many busy spiders spinning a web, and when I told him what chords he was playing he said, “Yeah, I don’t think about it like that, it just goes straight from my ear to my fingers.” I asked him about lessons, and he said, “I don’t think I could teach what I do.” There have been some chord piano books, but they don’t bridge the gap between understanding chord theory and applying it to playing from fake books. Up until now, there simply hasn’t been a method available that covers chord theory and how to apply it to reading from a fake book.

What if you could finally pull out a fake book and play through all your favorite songs? How would it feel if could have your friends over and have a “sing-a-long”?

Now, there is a way. Renowned jazz pianist and author Nathan Andersen has created a home study course that will take your hand and show you the way. The program is a downloadable library of six piano e-books.
