Learn to play the piano is EASY, although many people consider it tedious, it all depends on how you learn, the mentality we have when we are practicing and how you have been introduced to this world.

If I tell you to imagine a piano teacher, and it comes to your mind the stereotyped teacher prepared with the long rule in case you play badly a chord, I'll let you know that our practical and real world it’s very different.

In this blog I will introduce you to the world of music in the most entertaining way possible. I’ll make lessons in organized blocks, so you can learn step by step depending on what type of musician you are. I will talk about topics that are not relevant to explain in other websites, like the musical language according to the geographical zone. About the intimate relation between the country culture and music. You will learn that there are several types of musicians, therefore types of pianists.

Sometimes we want to improve playing the piano, but we just don’t know how, feeling stuck. And in most cases, thats for some reasons:

• Do you want to play as a keyboardist (accompanying in a group) or as a pianist in an orchestra?
• Do you like to play specific genres like Pop and Jazz or do you prefer classical music?
• Do you want to improve your technique on piano to play complicated music sheets or only use the piano to transcribe songs?
• Are you one of those who like to compose or have a great repertoire of songs so that people see how cool you are?
• Do you prefer to play exactly what is in a Sheet or of those who play chords and improvise the melody with the ear?
