75 Free Piano Lessons!



This series of 75 lessons is divided by level of difficulty, advanced, intermediate and beginner. There are questions and answers sections to stimulate your thought process, diagrams to clarify the lessons and lastly, exercises to actually start playing piano using professional techniques.

My goal with these lessons is twofold: 1 ) Teach you basic keyboard skills at whatever level you are at or desire to be at 2) Hopefully, impart a new way or different way of looking at these learning skills deviating perhaps just a bit from traditional teaching strategies. After all, many of these lessons are discussed in countless music theory books. But the goal here is to give you a “pro way” of looking at these skills and learning points.
