Online Piano Courses That Give You "Piano Chops!"

Duane Shinn, master music teacher, knows better than most the quickest way to amp up public interest in learning music is to create a wide of array of online piano courses that over deliver in quality, pique the interest of all would be pianists with “something for every musical taste,” and… promote those materials on the internet. The result: over 500 music books, DVDs, CDs, games, software and music products that are accessible to everyone. And best of all…you will never be bored.
I first found Shinn's courses online years ago. I ordered his book, "How to Dress Up Naked Music", thinking I would dip my toe in the water and see if I liked the temperature. What a discovery! I found:
- An instructor who knows their subject. If they don't know it, they can't teach it.
- An instructor who loves their subject and makes learning "child's play." Humor helps!
- Content that is interesting, reasonable in layout and moves along at a moderate pace. Too slow-boring. Too fast-overwhelming!
- Details baby! I found depth. Give me concrete, visual learning any day.
Quite simply, I quickly learned Shinn is a master pianist capable of creating fantastic, lush arrangements in any style you can shake a stick at.
Want to polish your chops and master the blues? He’s got it. Want to liven up lukewarm arrangements from the hymnal? He’s got it covered. Want to create flowing new age which is all the rage? No problem. I could go on and on.
But moving on….because I think you get the idea….he can teach you to do it! Shinn’s courses are engaging, move at a pace that the average adult learner can handle and are very demonstrative. Every angle is covered.
Needless to say, but I will say it, I have ordered more courses over the years and been beyond delighted every single time. I have also recommended Shinn’s courses to my piano students-both absolute beginners and accomplished pianists who are looking for meaty techniques to sink their teeth into.
How many people have had years of classical lessons and still cannot do what they really set out to do- to just sit down and be able to play. Most of us, beginner or long time pianist; long to play gorgeous Christmas carols during the holidays, hymns, popular songs, or our favorite jazz or blues tunes.
Believe me, I am not talking about learning to plunk out Mary Had A Little Lamb. I am talking about the ability to tickle the ivories in a way that holds a room spellbound.
This is where Duane Shinn’s courses really shine in the online piano teaching world. He doesn't just offer one "Learn to Play Quick!" course (though he has those, too, if there's a specific skill you're interested in). He has full, DVD-based piano courses that teach you both improvisational and chord skills while also teaching you to read music.

His impact on the music culture of the world cannot be measured. His courses have all of the necessary elements in place and are ready to assist would be pianists everywhere in manifesting their musical destinies.
His courses range from beginning piano lessons to advanced techniques - there's something for everyone. I think he has done an unbelievable service for us all and that is why I am compelled to write this article. His love of piano and his desire for the rest of us to share in what he knows is evident.
