If you've struggled learning the piano or have always wanted to just be able to "sit down and play" this is the lessons for you. Regardless of past experience, everyone can learn to play the piano!
Learn how to break up simple triads to create a more complicated arrangement in the first course of the Play Piano For Hours series.

all is good and useful for me. Thank you for this amazing tutorials.
This course is a perfect match to what I've been looking for! It's short, but I've learned so much in the first few videos. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who is looking to go beyond basic staff reading to a more freestyle and confident approach to playing the piano.
easy to follow directions on applying arpeggios, chords, and broken chords to chord progressions. also directions on how to practice away from the piano. Willie is a great instructor as always.
