    Hi, I live in a small Market Town in Norfolk England and I am 60 years old. I love all styles of music from Debussy to Deep purple. At the moment I feel like I am treading water with regards to leaning the piano so hopefully this course will give me some direction. Main goal is to play with more confidence and to sound like I know what I’m doing..

    I’m originally from the UK but I have lived the past 20 years in Spain. I have just spent the last month in hospital with a bleed on the brain. I supose it could technically be classed as a stroke. However it seems to have affected my memory so I cannot recall all that I used to know about playing the piano and so I’m here trying to relearn everything

    1. Where are you from? Sidcup (Greater London) UK
    2. How old are you? 75
    3. Your favourite style of music? Whatever catches my ear but in particular, Soul, Blues, Rhythm & Blues, Country, Rock/Pop, Reggae and little bit of Jazz.

    4. Why did you sign up for Online Rock Lessons? Fed up with other programs. I like your style, methods, choice of songs and the way you teach at a pace that I can keep up with without racing off mid lesson with stuff that is just showing off your own skills. Great visual aids and backing tracks, video and lead sheets are great.
    5. What is your #1 piano & keyboards goal? 1. To accompany my vocals. 2. To play with others in a band scenario.

    Hi,

    I’m from Switzerland. I’am 66 years old and retired since 3 years. I like music from almost all styles, classic, rock, pop, jazz.

    I found the videos I have seen on YouTube very motivating. I would like to advance in playing keyboards and finally being able to produce some cool sounds on the piano and the Hammond Organ.

    Hi Marine,

    My name is Jim and I’m from New York. I’m 67 years old and have been tinkering with the guitar and piano for several years now. My favorite style is classic rock although I can listen to all styles, including classical. I decided to join after I came across your Youtube videos and I was impressed by the positive reviews and the amount of content available in the membership. Without structure I find myself just noodling with the keys without making any real progress. My goal is to be able to play my favorite songs as well as compose and play originals for family and friends.

    Hi, nice to meet you all.

    My name is Javier, from Spain. I’m 60 years old.
    I love music of all kinds, but maybe Rock is my favourite one.

    I’d like to learn to play the piano and sing songs with it. I already play the guitar but I have the feeling that my knowledge has been always incomplete without piano skills!

    Javier
