Play Your First Songs Without Reading Music

A beginner piano course

Play your first songs without reading music

PIANOLY

this is for you if

You've always wanted to play, and never started

  • You're an adult beginner who has never touched a piano, or you quit years ago
  • You can't read sheet music, and you don't want to spend a year learning how
  • You tried an app or a method book and lost interest around Twinkle Twinkle
  • You want to play songs you actually recognize, not exercises
  • You have a keyboard sitting unused, or you're not sure which one to buy

what you'll be playing

From your very first chord to your first two complete songs

You'll learn how to find your way around the keyboard, play chords with both hands, and use simple chord charts to play real music.

Then you'll put everything together to play Let It Be and Hallelujah, with backing tracks that make practicing more fun.

And you'll have a workbook to guide you every step of the way.

From adults who learned this way

These are real results from adults learning with my teaching method.

★★★★★

In less than a month, I learned to play my first song. Within only a couple of weeks, I could use both hands effortlessly.

Adel J., Piano Accelerator student

★★★★★

I was not getting anything except maybe Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and I was a little too old for that.

Jim M., on the lessons he tried before PIANOLY

still have questions

The three I get most

Do I need to read music?

No, and you won't learn to in this course. That's the point. You'll learn chord charts instead, which is how most people actually play the songs they love.

What keyboard do I need?

Any keyboard with full size keys will get you through this. If you don't have one yet, the course includes a short guide on exactly what to look for and what to skip.

How long does it take?

Eight lessons, and you go at your own pace. A few sessions a week gets you through it comfortably, and you can always sit on a lesson longer if you want it solid first.
