"Graham Howard,
Piano Advisor"

Dear ukpianos.co.uk visitors.

Are you thinking of learning the piano, or do you just want to brush up on a few techniques?

I heard some good comments lately about an online piano course called ‘The Rocket Piano’. So I decided to check it out.

This simple-to-follow method is designed for the complete beginner and will teach you how to play piano step-by-step. A lot of students that attend our music school started out with this course.

The Rocket Piano will teach you how to:

• Learn to play virtually any song you hear
• Read music
• Adapt your playing style for classical, jazz, blues, rock, pop or gospel music
• Recognize chords
• Play with the correct techniques
• Train your musical ear
• Perform the trickiest of piano skills
• Play with rhythm

When you have mastered the above, you will be able to play most popular songs or even compose your own music.

If you are not sure if you have a talent for playing the piano, it is a good idea to try out ‘The Rocket Piano’ method before committing to a full course of lessons with a private teacher or in a Music School.

P.S. After hearing so many good reviews about ‘The Rocket Piano’ course, and after reading through it and thoroughly testing out the whole thing myself, I feel that I should recommend it to the ukpianos.co.uk community. I know there are lots of you out there that want to either learn the piano from scratch, or re-learn the basics. I have to say that it is the best online piano course I have ever seen and give it my full backing.

P.P.S. The Rocket Piano course offers a risk-free 60 day refund policy. So if it does not live up to your expectations you can get a 100% refund.

About Graham Howard - The ukpianos.co.uk Editor

I like to regard myself as a very competent pianist. I passed grade 8 when I was 21 and attended Music College for three years. But, even I managed to learn a thing or two from this course. The information I found most useful was the section about hand position and fingering. I tried this out and already my sight reading has improved!

How a Piano Shop Should Look After Customers

If you work in a piano shop, here are a few tips on how to handle customers that want to buy pianos.

You walk into a piano shop and ask the question: “How much are your pianos?” Its a broad question, but nevertheless it needs answering.

“Well what sort of piano are you looking for?” asks the sales assistant. “Something that is good quality” you say.

“Our piano shop only offers good quality pianos, but are you looking for a new piano, a second hand piano or a digital piano? “I want something that sounds good” you reply.

Why is it that the piano shop's sales assistant always assumes that the customer knows exactly what they want and they think that the customer understands what an upright or acoustic or digital/electric piano is? What the customer wants is to be able to walk through a piano shop, view the prices, colours and styles. They want to ask as many questions as possible to either confirm what they have already read or to find out information that will assist in their purchasing decision.

This article will explain how a piano shop should look after customers...
