    Lots of doctors take Duane's piano lessons because he explains things so clearly so they can understand what they are playing -- not just play by rote. For example, go to http://www.erworld.com/ hosted by Dr. Alan Clark (an emergency room doctor and creator of the web site www.erworld.com) and see what he says about Duane's piano lessons.

    Back to Piano Lessons & Piano Chords

     

         Every since about 1709 when Christofori announced that he had invented an instrument to upscale the harpsichord, which plays all at one volume level -- no soft or loud -- that played both soft and loud -- which he appropriately named the "pianoforte" (which means "soft-loud" -- later the name was shorted to just "piano") -- people throughout the world have been entranced with the harmonic sound of the piano - it's richness and fullness in enabling musicians to play many notes at once or in rapid succession.

         Most instruments are not solo instruments in the sense that they require an accompanianist, but not so with the piano. It can play alone as well as with combos, orchestras, or whatever. It's unique sound qualities make it the first choice in musical instruments for millions of folks the world over.

         And so over the years millions and millions of kids have taken music lessons on the piano from a piano teacher who either operated a piano studio in her/his home or traveled to the home of the student. A few adults took music lessons this way, but more and more adults are learning  to play the piano or keyboard by taking piano lessons online.

          To really master piano playing, a beginning student must gradually learn many different disciplines and aspects of music including: sight-reading sheet music (or the score of a classical piece); fingering of scale passages and chord formations; keyboard chords, from major chords to minor chords to augmented chords to diminished chords to 7th chords and more; music theory, including major scales, minor scales, whole-tone and chromatic scales, and the "church modes", plus some specialty scales such as the Mediterranean scale, the blues scale, and so on; the tonic note or tonic tone, triads, arpeggios, the concept of key (key of C, key of Eb, key of F#, etc.) unisons, intervals, inversions, chords -- both primary and secondary, figured bass, chord symbols; dynamics and dynamic markings such as sforzando, presto, largo, allegro, etc, pedaling, body position, ear-training, music appreciation, a study of the great composers such as Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven, etc., interpretation, arranging, and a host of related subjects in the harmony and music theory areas. This often involves years of learning at home with a teacher ( sometimes supplemented by online music lessons) and numerous music books, chord charts, fingering diagrams and musical scores. Meanwhile the student learns to play songs and classical pieces galore that contribute to the warmth of the home and the enjoyment of the family.

         Below you will find a large selection of musical courses in many of these areas. In a sense it is like a musical cafeteria -- you can pick & choose what you want - a music  history course here, a harmony course there, a classical piece here -- and so on. But choose carefully by reading the description of each class carefully to make sure it matches your goals in piano playing.
