Description

Get Started On Your First Steps To Playing Piano


All About First Steps:

Every beginning has it's first steps and every step leads to a greater outcome. The Play Piano Now course offers each student a fresh start into learning how to play piano with ease, and much enjoyment. Such a fulfillment is what first steps should be all about!


Learning Piano On Your Own Schedule:

The design of this course will enable you to learn piano at your own pace and time. This course is not just any ordinary course. The way you learn is shaped by your experience with the interactive videos, which will then guide you through each step demonstrated to fulfill each part of the lesson. As you move from lesson to lesson, you have all the flexibility to pause where you need to,  go back wherever you need to spend more time on a particular part or section. Your time is precious and it should be. That's why this course is the right path for you in curating what works best for you and your precious time. 


Be Encouraged, Stay Encouraged With Trusted Piano Coach/Instructor:

Piano lessons are usually thought of as having a teacher next to you. The Play Piano Now course has that same feeling, at a virtual level. When starting the course curriculum, the lesson will be taught by your instructor, teaching and coaching you through video and interactive media. You also have access to a Virtual Piano Coach that you can message through the student dashboard and ask any questions pertaining to the course. The coach is there to help and encourage you from beginning to finish. 


Learn To Play Your First Song Now, Not Later!

The Play Piano Now course is equivalent to beginning level piano. The course begins identifying all the keys on the piano and their names. From there we learn our first song, and throughout the course we use the song to apply all the learnings from the Play Piano Now course (musical alphabet, reading music, playing in rhythm, proper hand and body posture, productive practicing, and much more). 


Playing Piano Is A Lifetime Opportunity
"Life is like a piano. What you get out of it depends on how you play it." - Tim Leher (American Pianist)

Learning piano is not just a one time thing, it's a lifetime experience! Perhaps you start this course today. What will tomorrow and the next day look like after you finish this course? I can't guarantee you will be the next concert pianist, but I know I can guarantee the first steps of learning piano is in the Play Piano Now course. A lifetime experience in piano is about constantly building your skill and practice to make you a better player. That's great and all, but something more meaningful is the way piano can be helpful to you and others therapeutically, mindfully relaxing, and definitely a gift of blessing to the ears and soul.

 Dennis Miclau is the creator of Virtual Piano Coach. He has been in the music scene for the last 25+ years. Starting piano at the age of 9, Dennis didn't know that playing the piano would become a fixture in the years to come as he started, classically trained and moved onto jazz & gospel genre's. At the age of 18, Dennis self-produced & recorded his first piano solo album "Meditations" in his home studio. The album reached the top 20 charts for Southern Gospel genre, for several weeks on Rhapsody/Napster in 2007. Along with much experience in the early years of learning piano, Dennis continued his education of music at a Bible College in Portland, Oregon; where he completed his Bachelor of Arts in Music. Dennis' experience as a professional pianist also took him in the direction and role as composer, arranger, and producer. He has produced, orchestrated & recorded on several projects ranging from Jazz, Gospel, Country, Bluegrass, and also film scoring. One of the most important things he values as a musician, is making sure to teach other's as they taught him. Dennis believes he has something to offer to  all  that want to learn how to play piano. Whether it's learning for fun,  or learning to play your favorite song, or pursuing piano passionately; his method of teaching is one that will stick with you. 

   The Play Piano Now course was created by Dennis and has been an inspiration for him to help future pianists learn their first steps in piano. "Playing piano is a lifetime experience; whether you do it professionally or for your own pleasure. You will always learn something new. I for sure, am learning something new everyday, and my hope is to pass along what I've learned to you as well." - Dennis Miclau
