Thank you for your reviews. This is exactly what i’m looking for. I am completely new to piano and am currently looking at starting PianoMagic, but am not thrilled about the costs. I was also looking into another course called Learn and Master Piano (http://www.learnandmaster.com/piano/) and would greatly appreciate your opinion between them. I am not really interested (nor have the time) to learn to read music, but am wanting to play my children’s favorite pop music so that i may teach them as well. (Basically looking to play by ear.)

Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Nic,

I did not learn much from the ear training of playpianotoday.

I did learn how to play by ear from Piano Magic, but it does require a time investment. I’ve been with Piano Magic for about 3 years now and I still haven’t learned half of what it has to offer. But I did learn the basics of playing by ear after a few months.

Quiescence is good to learn how to improvise, but I would use it as an addition to Piano Magic, not as a replacement.

Hope it helps!

Thanks for the information about online pianolessons.Can you answer the following questions for me. Did you learn from the eartrainng of playpianotoday?
How many weeks/months does it take to follow the lessons of pianomagic.
And is Quiescence Music enought so I do not need pianomagic?

Hope you can answer these questions from an orientating piano player who has had lessons for 1 1/2 year.

Greetings Nic,
The Netherlands.

There are various methods from which we could learn music. By playing free music games you can improve your hearing (name tones and chords by ear).
