Get top-quality piano lessons---without leaving home! Mark Almond eliminates the "boredom factor" that causes millions of would-be musicians to give up too soon. With parental guidance, students learn to play beautiful music through basic principles of chords and harmony, then master traditional sight-reading---and they're on their way! Three DVDs, 4.5 hours total.

Are you thinking of taking up the piano? Have you started lessons and then quit because you thought you didn’t have the talent? Maybe you just felt it was going to take too long to develop the skills needed to play your favorite songs. Then this 3-part video series is for you! It teaches chord symbols, harmony, and technique. Within the first few lessons, you learn to improvise based on a set of chords. You even learn how to take any melody and play the correct harmonies!

I have been taking piano lessons for three years from my excellent piano teacher who lives next door. He taught me the same things that this program teaches, so I know that this method really works. Yet there is a twist to Mark Almond’s method. While my teacher started teaching me to read music on the first lesson, this program does it at the end. Mr. Almond wants students to focus on playing by ear while developing skills and theory that will help their music-reading ability, especially when playing difficult songs.

Learning to play can be a dream come true for someone in your family. So if you think it’s time to dust off the keys and bring that piano back to life, then I recommend Piano for Life! For ages 12 and up. (Younger students will need a parent’s help.) Three DVDs, 4 1/2 hours total.
