Rocket Piano: A Fast Way to Learn Piano

From the makers of Jamorama comes Rocket Piano, which is now one of the most popular downloadable online piano courses.  It covers not only classical piano techniques, but also jazz and gospel.

This program can take someone who's completely new to piano or music in general and show you exactly how to become an excellent intermediate pianist within just weeks.  The easy-to-follow, clear design of this program cuts down on the difficult learning curve that's often a hindrance with other methods of piano instruction.

Ruth Searle, a pianist with 15+ years of experience and a Bachelor of Arts degree, is your tutor.  She's funny and easygoing and presents the information just like a real life piano teacher would.  In fact, Ruth's instruction is one of the best things about this program.  Her ebooks and course materials are written in a very user-friendly, accessible way, which is why this program is so great for beginners.

When you order Rocket Piano, you get:

-a 165 page beginners' piano book
-a 65 page intermediate book
-a 59 page advanced book
-Introduction to Jazz
-Advanced Techniques
-Fingering Techniques and Exercises
-Introduction to Gospel Piano





And that's just the ebooks.  Rocket Piano also includes professional, high-quality jam tracks you can play along with - as well as videos - as you advance through the course.  There are also audio tracks of each song without piano accompaniment so you can play along with the band in the tracks on your own.

Software included in the package is:

-Chordinator (sightreading program that teaches you how to read piano chords)
-Perfect Your Pitch Trainer Pro (helps you develop your musical ear)
-Jayde Musica Pro (also included in Jamorama; another sightreading program)
-Rocket Piano Metronome (helps you hone your rhythmic skills)
-Keycelerator (helps you identify real chords)

Rocket Piano has both an FAQ section in the members area for any questions you may have, as well as dedicated email support, so you can ask questions any time you want.  All the material is downloadable, of course, and though there's quite a bit, it's very well organized and with a fast connection can be downloaded in just a few minutes.

There is a 60-day 100% moneyback guarantee if you aren't happy with Rocket Piano, so you can get your money back  without any problems.

Rocket Piano is priced at $40, which is a great price for this wealth of information which is presented in such an accessible way.  You'll not only be saving money by not paying for private lessons, but also be advancing more quickly because you can go at your own pace.

Final thoughts:

Rocket Piano is definitely the best online piano course I have seen yet.  As someone who took professional lessons for 4+ years and taught music theory, I've learned things from this course I'm now using to teach my own students.  For the price, Rocket Piano is a great resource for beginners who want to start learning piano.
