4.0 out of 5 stars Why make it hard?, September 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Quick Start Piano [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I'm an adult taking conventional piano lessons, and while this is no substitute, it's also a booster pack for my playing. In fact, I'm not sure why most piano lessons aren't structured more like this video. I learned a lot of useful things quickly. I wish I'd seen it earlier in my studies.

I wish she had come out with this method a couple of decades ago, and I could have enjoyed playing piano all along. I don't have 10 years of time to study in order to be able to play basic two handed songs. This was amazing. I really was able to play in such a short time. She was very clear and easy to understand. Even if you are taking regular piano lessons, a little instant gratification can sure help to motivate! Highly recommend!

This is a gem. Ruth Lundell's method is quick and easy to use. It took me no time at all to play songs that people can sing to!
