Pianoforall is a step-by-step program providing the user with a solid foundation of chords and rhythms while progressing to playing by ear and sight reading. The method uses a combination of keyboard diagrams and musical notation, with media clips to emphasize each point. As you progress, the musical staff is shown for you to see what you have actually been playing. You will be amazed at how difficult it looks printed on paper!
Diagrams and musical staff layouts are in an easily decipherable format, helping you better visualize and understand notation. After you have learned to play songs using chords and improvisation, Shapes and Patterns are taught in note reading. Emphasis is placed on giving you the tools to learn each concept thoroughly before moving to the next step, ensuring a higher success rate than many of the lower rated Learn Piano Online Review programs we reviewed. This program offers a complex and detailed set of 10 eBooks, plus a bonus book with over 700 video and audio clips embedded in the pages.
One of the highlights of the Pianoforall method is the Speed Learning Book offering practical advice on how to stay focused and progress rapidly, a must for anyone learning piano online without personal supervision. Sight reading is inherent if you follow this course because you gain an excellent understanding of how to analyze a piece. You will learn to see music as simple mathematical equations that, once mastered, are easy to build into the more difficult concepts. The eBooks are some of the most technical and extensive products available online with writing that is clear and concise, but the video and audio quality are lacking compared to some of the other products reviewed. There are no chat rooms, forums, or additional online features to contact others working through this program.
You can either download the program from the website or have the software mailed to your home. The files are in PDF form so you can print out individual pages as needed or view from a computer. The audio and video clips are embedded next to the written examples making them instantly accessible. Because of the enormous size of the program, consider carefully what pages you print unless money for ink and paper is not an issue. One drawback is that complete music pieces are not used in the eBooks, but most are available on free music sites referenced in each chapter.  Pianoforall was created by Robin Hall who personally and quickly answers your email enquiries. Periodic updates are emailed to purchasers that include the latest in buying a piano or MIDI keyboard, internet music sites, music book reviews, and more.

Mike Sanchez; The next chapter:
‘It started with a few borrowed 45s, then came the quiff and some knockout threads.’*

Born in London to Spanish parents in 1964 Mike Sanchez moved to Bewdley aged 11, his parents having left the racially tense capital of that era. He attended Bewdley High School, where he bucked the 70′s pop trend and was drawn to the rock & roll of the late 50′s and early 60′s, along with school pals Ian Jennings and Mark Davies. In woodwork teacher Richard Rogers, they found their mentor; Richard Rogers, also known as Ricky Cool, a well known Midlands harmonica, sax player and band leader. Mike along with Ian and Mark formed the Rockets, the George Hotel in Bewdley served as their base, where a chance visitor, Robert Plant heard them, starting a life long friendship with Mike. Plant introduced them to guitarist Andy Silvester (ex Chicken Shack), who new Ricky well. The result was the forming of Ricky Cool And The Big Town Playboys, they were later to join Robert Plant on stage at the NEC. Ricky left the band in ’86 for family and career reasons, leaving Mike to take over as front man.
Mike’s path also crossed with that of Mick Fleetwood leading to a US tour, returning later for the opening of Mick Fleetwood’s LA Blues Club. Friend Peter Richardson (of ‘Comic strip’ fame) introduced Mike to Jeff Beck, an association with the band, Big Town Playboys resulting in the album ‘Crazy Legs’, a tribute to Gene Vincent, in particular his, guitarist Cliff Gallup.
‘When the music is pumping, the keys are jumping, the sweat is pouring and the rhythm really does satisfy your soul: that is Mike Sanchezhttp://www.rhythm-and-booze.co.uk/?p=9419

Paul was the original front-man with the group Manfred Mann, and co-composer of the signature tune for Ready, Steady, Go! He was at the forefront of the 60s pop revolution, with million-selling records alongside the likes of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Animals.

In 1966 he turned to acting, first in films and television, and then on stage. His films include 'Privilege' and 'The Committee'. His television credits include 'Z Cars', 'Space 1999' and 'The Sweeney'. In the 1980s he hosted 'Weekend for Granada' and 'A Plus 4' on Channel Four. More recently he starred in four series of the children's favourite, Uncle Jack. At the Royal National Theatre he starred in 'The Beggar's Opera' and 'Guys And Dolls', and for the RSC, 'Kiss Me Kate'. Other West End shows include 'Conduct Unbecoming' (also on Broadway), 'Cats', and 'Pump Boys' and 'Dinettes'. He has worked with directors such as Sir Richard Eyre, Peter Gill and Toby Robertson. His numerous gold albums include one for the original recording of Evita.
In 1979 he founded The Blues Band, which helped kick start another boom in Blues music. The band has recorded "about 17 albums, not counting compilations and repackagings".
