Honest review, short

What Pianoforall is

If you'd like a complete, step-by-step path from here, the course I recommend is Pianoforall by piano teacher Robin Hall. It uses the same chord-first, play-by-ear idea as your kit, then builds on it lesson by lesson. The vendor currently offers a 7-day free trial, so you can look inside the whole course before deciding.

1What it is
  • A self-paced online piano course with step-by-step video lessons, plus downloadable ebooks with the video and audio built into the page for offline learning (as the vendor describes it).
2What it covers
  • The vendor lists rhythm-style piano and popular song progressions first, then blues and rock 'n' roll, chord inversions, advanced chords, improvisation, jazz, and reading music alongside playing by ear, working up to classical pieces.
3Who it's for, and who it's probably not for
  • The vendor says it's for people who can't play a note yet, people who play a bit and want to improve, players of other instruments, and people who read music but can't play by ear. You don't need to read music to begin.
  • Probably not for anyone who wants live, one-to-one feedback from a teacher. It's self-paced, so you set the pace.
4Price and guarantee, as the vendor states them
  • One payment of $49, with lifetime access and no subscription. Tax may vary by location.
  • 7-day free trial: you enter your card at checkout, but there's nothing to pay today. If you don't cancel before the 7 days are up, the one-time payment of $49 is charged. You cancel through ClickBank.
  • 60-day money-back guarantee. The vendor states purchases are covered for 60 days; you request a refund by emailing robin@pianoforall.com or through ClickBank.
  • Payments are processed by ClickBank. After checkout you may be offered an optional add-on, "Classics By Ear". You don't need it to start.

What Pianoforall students say

Like many people I have struggled with traditional piano courses but have found the chord based approach very much easier and satisfying to play.

Andrew Wortleyvia pianoforall.com

…I find your videos along with the books so easy to understand, though I have to practice many, many times before I get my hands working together!! I am plodding along at my own pace and even like practicing!

Ann Thomasvia pianoforall.com

…I like how you set out the course. I think it’s important to be able to sit down and just play a few simple tunes early on or else you just get bored and give up.
