I have added a new feature to The Music Hub!

One of the challenges with online piano courses and apps is that a teacher isn't available to check your playing.

Are you remembering to sit with proper posture? Are your fingers, hands, arms or shoulders holding tension that you didn't notice? Are you keeping an internal sense of a steady beat? Are you using good fingering?

There's all kinds of things you can miss. We have blind spots, just like there are blind spots on a car.

Not because you aren't progressing or doing well, but simply because you're so caught up in the notes and rhythms you can't keep track of everything all at once.

Even professional pianists benefit from the feedback of other people and will often seek out private lessons from master teachers as they prepare for big concerts!

The problem with group sessions is that many adults may not feel comfortable sharing their progress in front of other people.

For these two reasons, I am implementing a new feature into The Music Hub.

Now, Music Hub Members can submit videos of their playing to me privately for personalized, private feedback.

This is like having an asynchronous private lesson.

You share your playing with me. My eyes and ears are the only ones on it. I give you feedback through a personal message.

You don't have to play publicly if you don't want to, but I can still see your progress.

I will continue to hold group sessions, aka "office hours," if you want live help on something, but the video portal provides another avenue for feedback.

How Does the Music Hub Compare?

You don't have to be a concert pianist or even an advanced pianist to begin finding fulfillment in playing meaningful music!

In addition to over 70 original works in The Music Hub, I also include arrangements of folk songs, like

• Shenandoah
• 900 Miles
• Sakura, Sakura
• Wayfaring Stranger
• And many, many more!

I also incorporate hymns, Christmas carols, Blues tunes, and very easy classical pieces.

You will find something you love to play inside The Music Hub!

The Music Hub will help you

• Read music fluently
• Play with both hands together
• Play in multiple positions on the keyboard (not just in one spot or one key.)
• Play with feeling (dynamics and articulation)
• Understand sharps and flats
• Understand intervals and chords
• Understand fingerings

The learning continues on, too. When you are done with the Piano Accelerator Levels 1&2, you will be able to learn scales and chords and how to read lead sheets. Plus, there are modules for additional genres of music!

New lessons are added every month!
