What makes it different?
Piano Books for Beginners
First Lesson
Learn Spaces First.
Use Space to Find Line.
Why This Method?
Developed by a lifelong pianist and educator, Piano Revolution
applies principles of Instructional Design to music learning.
With over 50 years of teaching experience, Piano Revolution was
developed to solve a problem seen in thousands of students:
They could play – but they could not read.
This method changes that.
THINKING PROCESS
Learn to use a thinking process to name the note and find its location on the piano. This is true sight-reading that does not rely on finger numbers and hand positions as crutches!
SIGHT READ
Using the thinking process to read and play music helps you to succeed, even if you have never sat at a piano or tried learning using other methods!
INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN
This self-teaching format introduces one concept at a time so you should never feel overwhelmed, no matter your age!
The Only Beginner Method to Use a Thinking Process to Actually Read Written Music
Piano Revolution uses the principles of Instructional Design to introduce one new concept at a time. Students first learn a thinking process to recognize the spaces of each clef and then identify line notes logically from those spaces.
This creates the ability for students to actually read written music and allows them to self-correct with confidence.
Most beginner books rely on:
- Finger numbers instead of note reading
- Position-based shortcuts
- See-and-copy memorization
- Mnemonics that don’t build real understanding
The Piano Revolution Difference:
- Students use Instructional Design steps to build a new skill directly from the previous one
- Students become able to self-correct and think independently
- Students first learn and orient on clef spaces only
- Students use the thinking process to logically identify lines from spaces
- There is no finger-number dependence, fixed hand position, or rote memorization to interfere with accurate music reading
