New Age Piano Lessons Strike a Chord with Students

It used to be big … New Age music that is. Back in the 1980’s along with Wham and Madonna, a new style of music popularized by pianist George Winston emerged. It was called ‘new age’ because of it’s soothing, eclectic sound. But for reasons unknown, disappeared from the music scene.

But now it’s making a comeback. Thanks in no small part to the efforts of piano teacher Edward Weiss.

Mr. Weiss owns and operates a website that teaches, you guessed it, New Age piano. The site now boasts over 100 lessons that promise to teach the complete beginner how to improvise and compose music in the gentle flowing style known as ‘new age.’

Weiss remarks:

“So many people would just like to sit down at the piano and play what they feel The beautiful thing about the New Age style of piano playing is that a total newbie can learn a few chords and jump in the musical waters right away.”

Weiss has been teaching this style of piano playing online for over 10 years and offers a full course of instruction.

When asked if he’s stealing students away from more traditional courses, Weiss says:

“Not at all. There are so many ways to play the piano. But there was nothing in the New Age style until my course appeared. I know a lot of people like to listen to this music to relax and unwind. And there are those who would really like to create this kind of music on their own. My online lessons help them achieve that goal.”

Weiss is currently offering a free piano lesson ‘Summer Morning’ and a free 342 page book at his website Online Piano Lessons by Quiescence Music.

Play Piano Fast With This Cool Technique!

Ah ... the piano. So many want to learn how to play it. Yet all too often, lessons stop short. All that's about to change. You see, most people think they have learn note-reading before they can make music on the piano.

But not only is note reading unnecessary, it's also a hindrance when it comes to being creative at the piano.

Here's a technique that will help you learn to play the piano fast! And it won't take you years, months, or even weeks. We're talking hours here - if that.

The technique I'm referring to is something called the open position chord. And with it, you'll be able to actually create your own unique music very, very quickly.

Let's take a look at how this is possible.

First, the open position chord uses both hands right away to create a nice modern sound at the piano. The chord is split between hands. The chord itself consists of 6 notes. You can see an example of this in the free piano lesson "Summer Morning.'

Second, as I mentioned earlier, it's a modern sounding chord. Most teachers start their students out with triads. There's nothing wrong with the humble triad. But why begin there when you can work with a chord position that gives so much for so little effort.

For example, just by fingering an open position chord, you can make music. How is this possible? Because of the wide note spread. In fact, the open position chord takes up more than 2 octaves of the piano keyboard! With this much space, all you really have to do is play around with it and music comes out.

He has been helping students learn how to play piano in the New Age style for over 14 years and works with students in private, in groups, and now over the internet.

Piano Lessons for Summer? It's the Perfect Time to Play!

Summer is the time when most venture out of doors. But for those of you who like the indoors just as much and want to learn piano, summer can be a time of great musical discovery!

Summer piano lessons are a great idea that will allow you to test the waters, so to speak.

So... what do you want to learn? Classical, jazz, pop, new age? All are available for you, both online and off. But if you're really looking for convenience and value, you should check out what's available online.

Many people dismiss online piano lessons because they don't get personal time spent with their teacher. But this isn't necessarily true. For example, take a look at the benefits of learning piano online:

•Convenience - you can take lessons anytime, anywhere
•Flexibility - course material available 24/7!
•Less Expensive - save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars!
•Individual Attention - get all the help you need via email
•Community - Interact with other students

In the United States, the average hourly rate for the majority of piano teachers falls somewhere between $30-$60 per hour. And that's the low end.

If you go the 'classical' or 'jazz/pop' route, expect to take lessons for a long, long time. How long? Many years! And what will you have after all these years of lessons and thousands of dollars spent? The ability to play other people's music. That's it. For many people, this is satisfactory. There's nothing wrong with this at all. But for some people, the idea of spending their hard earned money and time learning how to play the 'masters' just doesn't cut it. They want to create their own music!
